Open Beta: Rogue’s Tale
Rogue’s Tale is freeware for now and while it is a single-player game, it does require an in-game registration in order to play. You can download the stand-alone client, but you are also able to download and host a server of your own in case the the Epixx.org server goes down.
I just want to add that I have really been enjoying this game personally. It has some pretty graphics and silky smooth gameplay with deceptive amounts of depth to it. However, let me warn you, this game is hard. I don’t mean that Rogue’s Tale is difficult because it is a roguelike either. Rogue’s Tale is hands-down one of the toughest roguelikes I have ever played. Still, none of my deaths in the game have felt particularly unfair and I feel that Rogue’s Tale is certainly worth a look.

Definitely agree with the nice, polished, and silky smooth gameplay. For roguelikes, this one is the most “studio” that I’ve played. I haven’t gotten attached to it, though. I tend to play as magic users and didn’t find (yet?) many options for character creation that would seemingly cater to that class.
I would likely purchase this one as I can see the potential for those that like the multiplayer aspect. Plus, if the dev team can create something that is this nice out of the gates, the best may yet be coming.
