Getting into DCSS a lot recently. Still just running Minotaur Berserker with the furthest I've made it being the 10th floor aha.

Regardless, really enjoying it and wondering if others have any other recommendations. I tried ToME4 and just felt overwhelmed and wasn't enjoying myself too much.

Have my eyes of Caves of Qud as well. Love the more "literary" aspect to it (even though I know it's often nonsense), and the atmosphere/setting. Seems to be highly regarded overall though. Wondering if I should buy it and play alongside DCSS.

Nethack is an amazing deep system to explore and learn about.. but it's not that fun to play (at least once you've already been to the late game). It's more fun to read NetHackWiki than to actually play the game IMO. It would be a huge downgrade from DCSS, which is carefully designed to be fun.

I can see that. It did take me a while to really appreciate Nethack even back in the day. TBH I haven't played it in 10ish years so maybe my recommendation was made poorly.

Didn't know about DCSS thanks.
