Alienhack is a coffeebreak roguelike
Alienhack is a tactical coffee-break roguelike loosely based on "AliensRL" by Kornel Kisielewicz (which in turn is loosely based on the 90s "Alien Breed" computer games).
Alienhack has an unusual feature for a roguelike: a limited-angle FOV. This is central to the gameplay mechanic, as you will need to work hard to prevent foes from creeping up behind you.
Alienhack is open source and public domain.
