About
NitroHack
NitroHack is a modernized, network-capable fork of the classic roguelike game NetHack.
NitroHack is a single player dungeon exploration game. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NitroHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.
The ultimate goal of the game is to ascend the character. This is a very difficult feat which many players never achieve.
The current release is NitroHack 4.0.4
nitrohack.org
Nitrohack.org is the home of the game NitroHack and runs a public NitroHack server.
An online game of NitroHack is still a single-player game, but the server will publicly track your statistics and winning here gives you extra bragging rights as the server prevents cheating.
Eventually, you will also be able to play NitroHack in your browser on this site, but that feature isn't done yet.
