City of the Condemned (CotC) is a 7DRL "winner" made for the 2010 challenge. The game depicts a battle between angels and demons in a randomly generated city. The goal is (depending on the side) to either protect or destroy the humans. Victory can also be achieved by vanquishing the opposing force or ascending beyond archdemon / archangel status.
The Heavenly Host
The "good" side consists of angels and archangels. Both are strong and fearless fighters usually capable of obliterating lone creatures of Hell with ease.
Skills
Bless
By blessing humans, they become immune to demonic possession and in fact an evil creature will be hurt slightly if it tries.
Touch of God
Touch of God is a powerful ability capable of exorcising and killing demons without harming their human vessels.
Heal
Angels can heal themselves, although it consumes the divineness and thus slows ascension.
Conceal divinity
By taking a human form, angels can get close to demons undetected. Note, however, that neither Bless nor Touch of God will work if not in the true form.
Detect Evil
This ability allows angels to detect which humans are possessed. It requires touch though.
Forces of Darkness
Imps are the lowest in the hierarchy of demonic warriors. They are no match for an angel, but well capable of causing chaos among humans. Demons and archdemons are more powerful creatures that have a chance against the warriors of God.
Skills
Possess
By possessing, a demon takes control of a human being. Depending on the strength of the demon, the human can cause some trouble by revolting.
Demon fire
The offensive skill that burns its targets painfully. Using demonic fire requires a body unless your an archdemon.
Detect divinity
Similar to angels' detect evil -ability, this one reveals concealed angels.
