Ultimate ADOM Early Access Save/Load-Update (v.0.7.2) has been released!

Adventurers! We are happy to be able to release Ultimate ADOM 0.7.2. The most important feature is the fully integrated load & save feature that was missing from the initial release due to complications, which we have explained in detail here: https://www.ultimate-adom.com/index.php/2021/02/19/ultimate-adom-load-save-clarification/ Please be aware: With this latest update, you can load and save your game at any time and continue later on. But please keep in mind that you are playing a roguelike game: When you die your save game will be deleted. Death is final. Unless you decide to cheat. Which the gods and the random number generator probably will take revenge for at some point.

Community Feedback: Game was received being too slow.

Even more great news, as there is one additional big enhancement addressing the feedback we have received so far: People perceived the game as sluggish and too slow. Some even voiced concerns that the complexity of the engine will prevent the game from ever being fast. Therefore:

We have changed animation speed to now have faster animations
Further on, you can configure the setting yourself with a new slider in the Settings menu.
Combat now is a lot faster and I think we might have overdone it because you can barely see the animations and the characters just seem to twitch. With said slider you can adjust this to your preference, and we will try to find the right middle ground during this week.

That does not mean we wont optimize performance a lot more in the months to come. But we wanted to assure you that there is no fundamental problem with the engine. Therefore, enjoy the blazing new speed and let us know what you think about that, too!

Below you can find a list of additional fixes in this update:

The keypad can be used now for movement and selection input, too.
The action button flash can now be turned off in the settings.
A problem with tunnel connections on maps has been fixed.
A variety of minor bug fixes and fine tuning has been done during the weekend in addition.

What comes next?

At the end of this week, we hope to release Update #3, addressing many of the bugs reported plus various quality of life improvements. Afterwards follow-up updates will focus on adding more content, bug fixes and a continuing stream of UI enhancements based on community feedback. Additionally, we welcome all suggestions for things you would like to see (besides content you can expect at any rate like more magical items, artifacts and so on).

In case you have missed it - Our Early Access Roadmap

See you soon with the next update. Thomas Biskup (Ultimate) ADOM Maintainer

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!
