Together with developer Team ADOM we announced today that our modern-meets-classic rogue-like dungeon crawler Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos will enter Early Access on February 18th, 2021 for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via ye olde Steam platform. Ultimate ADOM: Caverns of Chaos blends a traditional roguelike formula think procedurally generated levels, monsters, and items with modern trappings, providing a challenging, addictive experience that encourages experimentation and replayability. Ultimate ADOM: Caverns of Chaos returns players to the world of Ancardia, currently enjoying a rather suspicious lull in cataclysmic events. Unfortunately, something is a stirrin below, and its up to you to head down into the darkness and see what sort of evil is brewing. Luckily for you, there is an endless combination of spells, weapons, and abilities to get you through the dungeon safely... perhaps not the first time, or the second time, but definitely at some point. Bringing together the past and the present, Ultimate ADOM: Caverns of Chaos contains all the hallmarks of the genre but with contemporary stylings and additions for current hardware, like a modern user-interface and support for controllers. Players can also choose between a slick new graphic mode and the more classic ASCII look, on top of the ability to toggle between 3D and top-down view.

Key Features of Ultimate ADOM:
- Just One More Run: Thanks to a staggering combination of procedurally generated levels and plenty of items, monsters, spells, classes, genders, and races, the old adage Only one more and Ill go to bed has never been more true
- Crafting and... Grafting?: Crafting is useful, but why waste all those severed limbs lying around? Grafting allows players to put these previously useless hunks of meat to use by attaching them to their own body, which really opens things up for a (multiple) hands-on approach
- More spells than a Hogwarts Spellbook: With a whopping 100+ spells to utilize spread across multiple specializations, dungeon-delvers have a deep well of thaumaturgic therapy to draw from and use against their foes. Possess your enemies, summon a support demon, or stick with the classics and simply blast those pesky monsters in the face with a fireball.
- Different Skills for Different Situations: With more branches than an 18th-century noblemans family tree, the 80+ skills and secret, hidden, mystery skills ensure more than enough build variety and experimentation for even the most discerning roguelike veteran.
Developed by Team ADOM and published by Assemble Entertainment, Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos will launch on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam Early Access on February 18, 2021.

The Story so Far
Evil has been vanquished. Peace has returned to Ancardia, and the peasants dare to dream once more of prosperity. Seven very different factions vie for control over the cataclysmic aftermath left behind by Andor Drakon’s defeat. And somewhere, deep down in an inhospitable cave, ChAoS is stirring again.Pick up your blade, prepare your spells, check your daggers and ready your bow, for you are about to enter the ominous Caverns of Chaos. Choose your allegiance carefully, for you are nothing more than an expendable asset to the masters you choose.
Fight for a mercenary's glory and purse, for the justice of a folk in decline, for the light of purity or even for ChAoS itself. Every choice you make will determine how you approach the ever-changing Caverns of Chaos before you.
Features and Gameplay
- Ultimate ADOM is a modern reimagining of traditional rogue-like dungeon-crawling.
- Endless procedurally generated dungeons, countless monsters, items and a grand selection of very different skills allow for unlimited replayability
- Intuitive control system will get rid of the need to memorize hundreds of keys. Though you can still do so, if you're into that. We are not judging.
- Your chosen class, gender, race and allegiance will change the way the game challenges you. NPCs will react differently, new quests will be open to you and the world may change completely based on your performance.
- A deep magic system with several unique schools of magic and dozens of spells per school. Flaming auras that damage nearby enemies, cold snaps that freeze rivers, animating the very walls of the dungeon to aid you - everything is possible.
- A stealth system introduces a totally new way of playing the game: Instead of hacking or blasting all opposition to pieces you now can sneak past adversaries and avoid conflict by silently sneaking out of deadly situations.
- Interactive items! Topple braziers to spill their burning oil on unsuspecting enemies. Push coffins to block passage ways, or smash them in hopes of loot. Lock doors, smash them, open them or turn them into wooden golems to (hopefully) serve your bidding.
- Turn yourself into an abomination and graft your enemies’ body parts on yourself. They won’t need them any more, and what is better than wielding two swords? Two swords and an axe to harvest more bodyparts than ever before.
- Choose or toggle between graphic mode and traditional ASCII at any time. Toggle between 3d mode and top down view, in ASCII or in the graphic mode. Toggle everything you wish, we probably have a game mode just for you.
- “Play the way you want” – countless options of how to tackle the dungeons awaiting you. Befriend or tame creatures, slay monsters, delve deeper or keep exploring and expanding the cavern levels you have already found. Set traps and smash doors, or unlock them with the keys you found. Push coffins and other objects!
