DRL (formerly Doom, the Roguelike) is a fast, turn-based roguelike game heavily inspired by 90s FPS Doom, written in FreePascal with the FPC Valkyrie engine and Lua-based modding. It features procedurally generated Doom-style dungeons, classic Doom weapons and monsters, and an active modding system.

Use cases

  • play a quick coffee-break roguelike inspired by Doom
  • kill demons with classic Doom weapons in a turn-based dungeon crawler
  • create mods for a roguelike using Lua
  • replay a classic open-source Doom-themed roguelike
  • run a lightweight roguelike on Windows, Linux, or Mac
  • explore procedurally generated Doom dungeons with medals and badges

When to choose

  • you want a fast, accessible roguelike with Doom atmosphere
  • you want a game with built-in Lua modding support
  • you prefer turn-based gameplay over real-time FPS action
  • you want a free, open-source game with active development

When to avoid

  • you want modern 3D graphics (try Jupiter Hell instead)
  • you need a real-time first-person shooter experience
  • you want a long-form, deep roguelike like Dwarf Fortress or Caves of Qud
  • you need a game engine or library to build your own game
