Rusty Roguelike

Short Description:

A dungeon crawler with procedurally generated levels, monsters of increasing difficulty, and turn-based movement.

Story:

The hero's hometown is suffering from a plague of monsters. Welling up from the deep, they are terrorizing the countryside. Legend tells of the Amulet of Yala (Yet Another Lost Amulet) that can be used to stem the beastly tide. After a long night at the tavern, the hero promises to save the day... And descend into the dungeon to retrieve the amulet.
