Brogue (video game)
Brogue is a free and open-source roguelike computer video game created by Brian Walker. As in its predecessor Rogue, the goal of Brogue is for the player to descend to the 26th floor of the Dungeons of Doom, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and return to the surface. Players also have the option of delving deeper into the dungeon to obtain a higher score. This task is complicated by the presence of monsters and traps in a procedurally generated dungeon.
Development started in 2009, with the latest version, 1.7.5, being released on September 25, 2018. Brogue's interface, design and character graphics have been praised for their simplicity and beauty.
Further development of Brogue has taken place via GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, now named Brogue Community Edition or Brogue CE, with multiple contributors. As of October 2024, the latest version of Brogue CE is 1.14.1, released on Aug. 31.
