Umoria

Umoria is a version of the 1983 classic roguelike, The Dungeons of Moria, adapted to modern operating systems. With this app, you experience this founding father of the genre, in a way that isn’t far off from the one designed decades ago.

In Umoria, you start your adventure in a small town where you can get your hands on all kinds of supplies, as well as weapons, food, armor and more. Once you think you’re ready, just make your way down the stairs to the first level of the Moria caverns. So, what's your goal? Descend to the deepest part of the dungeon to destroy the dreaded Balrog for once and for all.

As usual in this genre, gameplay in Umoria is relatively complex. In other words, you have tons of controls at your disposal, and you have to figure how to walk down the stairs, light torches, and look both ways, among other things. Luckily, clicking on ‘?’ gives you a complete list of the controls.

The length of Umoria games varies greatly. Ideally, a game should last several hours, however, typically, their duration is much shorter (especially during your first games). It’s not even uncommon for your poor adventurers to die from a kobold beating if they’re lucky... Or to get squished by a trap.
