Minihack is a small and minimalistic text-based hack 'n slash RPG written in C.

It is inspired by both roguelike games and interactive fiction and tries to blend them into a single, replayable adventure.

For example, it has randomized game world, handful of playable character classes with unique abilities and a lot of dying, but character is controlled with one-word parser instead of mysterious key combinations to make the learning curve less steep.

Oh, and it is also compilable on every platform where standard C library is available! (DOS, Linux, BSD, Windows etc.)

Features

  • Randomized game world
  • Many different character classes with unique abilities
  • Two ways to complete the game
  • Cross-platform
