3D/FPS Roguelikes?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

Hi All,

Haven't played any roguelikes for years, but have just discovered Crawl
and am enjoying it....made me wonder, are there any first-person
perspective graphical roguelikes around?

The only one I can think of is the old D&D-license "Dungeon Hack",
which was quite fun...

A game that comes to mind is Daggerfall, which could be described as a
first person roguelike. It's about 10 years old now, though.

As for new games, there's a mod to Doom 3 called DungeonDoom, and the
guys behind Diablo are working on a game called Hellgate London, none
of which I've tried.

Searching for older topics, I found the topic "First person RLs" in
rec.games.roguelike.development. Link to google groups:

Gearhead 2 is going graphical 3D, altrough I think it's rather TPP.

Yes. Specifically, it's an over-the-shoulder 3D view. You can see a
picture here:

Right now you press left to turn left, right to turn right, and up to
move forward. The keys should be remappable but I haven't tested it so
I can't guaranteed that it hasn't been broken by the GH1->GH2 changes.
The camera follows behind the PC, and may be zoomed with PgUp and
PgDown.

At some point in time I'll add a config option to switch between the
above control system and a more regular RogueLike control system.

Very nice, but it seems that even some simple, bitmapped, oval shadows
under the creatures would add much to the overall looks.
