Telengard description

Funny in its simplicity and amazing ancient RPG of the Dungeon crawler subgenre. The essence of the game is the advancement through the dungeon and killing monsters. The game runs in two modes - fully text and pseudo, in the latter there are as many as four colors!..

Management is unintuitive: you must answer questions by pressing the first letter of those words, which denote a proposed action, that is, F -> Fight, and so on. By itself, the gameplay is standard: go in a certain direction, suddenly the monster appears (this is shown, moreover - he even moves). Think of what to do: to fight, to escape, something different. Battles take place in real time, but without any animation. Usually, it ends quickly or we him or he us. In the game a strong element of chance - you can run into completely different creatures, and not all of them just to win. Present the character's stats, got all the gear. The collection of objects moving between locations - it's all too, but also without animation.

In short, this game is only for the "hardcore" of alzheimera, loving the graphics. But sometimes really exciting.
