Description

LambdaRogue is a rather short roguelike. It features 5 character classes (religions), with an unique storyline for each class.

Story

Men and the species of Drekh'nar once lived peaceful together on Earth, both not far away from reaching the stars with spaceships. Sadly, a misunderstanding led to war before these dreams could be realized. However, after a long and bloody battle, a peace treaty was created. This treaty forced mankind to go underground, while the Drekh'nar could stay on the surface of Earth.

Since then, a century has passed and both species haven't seen each other. Mankind has still a rather prosperous civilization based on technology and computers, and even the big corporations have survived. People call their country "NeoTerr", and for years, men were supported by the great subterranean river Styx.

But suddenly, the river brings terror and pain over the country...
