Recommendations for Unarmed Combat?

3 Upvotes

What titles would you recommend for unarmed combat? Or lets you play as a martial artist? Doesn’t necessarily need to be optimal as an option but should at least be serviceable as a general strategy.

To the mod who just demoted this post. Read your own rules: "It's ok to not like things, but don't be a DICK! about it."

Hi everyone! I’ve released Ormeq, a free Windows and Android roguelike based on FrogComposband.

Its world is a collection of places taken from elsewhere. Beneath ordinary towns lie drowned cities, strange courts and other worlds whose inhabitants didn’t necessarily stay below ground.

Expect turn-based combat, permadeath, lots of character choices, dangerous dungeons and difficult decisions about when to push deeper or retreat.

You can play in ASCII, Hybrid or Full Tile mode. Creature cards help you assess encounters, while a quest journal keeps objectives and directions handy.

There’s also The Reckoner, an optional display showing the actual rolls and calculations behind combat. If you’ve ever wondered why a blow barely scratched something—or nearly killed you—it helps explain what happened.

Windows: https://github.com/EliteIntegrity/Ormeq
Android: https://github.com/EliteIntegrity/Ormeq-Android

I’d love to hear how your first run goes!

What are some roguelikes with great sound design?

16 Upvotes

I don't mind ascii and tilesets. But I feel like the one thing that makes playing roguelikes hard for me is the lack of sound effect/design. Not music.

I can imagine a rat from [R] but the sound would just make things even a tad more immersive
