= Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

{wiki}
Appears to be \i[the] best classic open source <roguelike> of the 2020's.
This website is really cool! http://crawl.akrasiac.org:8080/#lobby You can spectate players live and chat! Also has statistics.
Devs of this game are smart, they have one good in-tree <tileset>, unlike some other <text-based games> that didn't have an in-tree option...
