Triangle Wizard is a real-time roguelikelike (a game that is not quite a roguelike.) Creatures are still displayed by ASCII characters, but the spacial system is not grid-based, as with nearly all roguelikes. Aside from the primitive character display, the game has modern effects.
Triangle Wizard is a combination of hack-'n'-slash games like Diablo and NetHack, developed by Wouter van den Wollenberg. The goal of the game is defeating the Nameless One, an evil being who awaits you in his sanctuary deep below the Castle of Everdoom.
It still has a few roguelike features: the large selection of classes and races, the large amount of creatures, random dungeon generation, permadeath, etc. Like the major roguelikes, the player is almost completely at the mercy of the RNG.
Almost all information about creatures, traps, random level scripts and unique monsters is read from .ini files which can be easily modified to add new creatures or change existing ones.
Triangle Wizard has been updated a lot since the initial release over two years ago. It now also features a random item system, a random quest system, socketed items, and many new classes and spells.
Screenshots

- Added the Djinn race.
- Added a minor fix to the Cyclone Blast spell causing it now to correctly work with some projectile modifying scrips.
