Entroband

Entroband is a roguelike derived from Hengband, itself an Angband variant. It uses turn-based exploration, procedural dungeon layouts, character development, item management, and permanent-death conventions associated with the Angband family.

Entroband is a Hengband-derived variant that preserves the chaotic band-oriented style while aiming for a harder and less cluttered experience. Players familiar with Angband variants will recognize the emphasis on deep exploration and dangerous encounters.

Band-style play emphasizes groups of monsters, dense encounters, and unpredictable dungeon danger rather than a simple sequence of isolated fights. This can make positioning, escape options, and resource use more important than raw damage.

It follows the traditional roguelike presentation, with text or ASCII-style dungeon displays rather than a fully animated graphical world. Its depth comes from procedural systems, items, monsters, and character builds.
