Default Re: Brag: I finally beat Linley\'s Dungeon Crawl.

Is it easier or harder than Nethack 3.4.3?

[/ QUOTE ]

Much harder... but in a good way. Crawl is a tactical game, whereas Nethack is very much a "treadmill" or scumming game by comparison(Ex: Sit around for 10,000 turns waiting for monsters to generate and them sac them on an altar to obtain artifact weapons and spellbooks is a valid nethack strategy, but it would never fly in crawl).

Crawl is easily the most challenging(and best!) Roguelike that's widely played. I've heard the Rogue is quite difficult, but I haven't played it.
