Featured Roguelike: Crossfire RPG

Crossfire's development history started in mid-1992. It originally started as a Gauntlet clone developed by Frank Tore Johansen at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Crossfire started with just one indoor map (first a simple test-map, then the first real map, which got extended a few times) and then increased to 4 indoor-maps with one-way portals from level 1 to level 4. Upon clearing the last level, there was nothing more for the player to do. Spells were limited to magic bullet (the first spell), fireball, magic missile, burning hands and lightning bolt. Later on, when two-way portals were implemented, development and content contribution took off in all directions.

This change brought about a flurry of new local players (at University of Oslo, Norway) and resulted in many new maps, it exploded in all directions, including the first town and the first world (the one we have now is the third town and third world).

In the years of development that have followed, Crossfire has grown to encompass over 150 monsters, ~3000 maps to explore, an elaborate magic system, over 15 character types, a system of skills, and many, many artifacts and treasures.

One of the joys of Crossfire is the vast depth of development that has occurred over the many years. This has resulted in a diverse playing experience with often little to prepare players for whats to come.

Diverse list of servers offering different features and play styles
Retro style graphics
Open world exploration
Enormous opportunity for character development and item hoarding
Player guided development
Organic world building, you never know what you might find next!

-In [[Demon]], you play as a Summoner who has donned a relic in hopes of acquiring great power, only to find that the relic has compelled you to enter a mysterious tower from which no Summoners seem to return. Starting with only a few meager powers and a weak demon ally that the relic provided when you donned it, you must climb the tower, recruiting more and stronger demons and through your battles alongside them acquire stronger powers for your own use as well.

-Though the relics are powerful, they have limits: They do not allow direct control of demons, and the powers they grant are only enough to make the Summoner as strong as... not stronger than... the demons within the tower. Without powerful, well-chosen allies and clever use of the abilities learned from them, there will be no chance of survival.
