description Steamband Overview

Steamband is a traditional, turn-based roguelike derived from Angband, replacing its Tolkien-influenced setting with a mixture of Victorian adventure, steampunk, and pulp fiction. Its character options, equipment, enemies, and locations draw on nineteenth-century literature and historical figures while retaining Angband's text-based dungeon exploration, procedural generation, tactical combat, and permanent-death structure. It is intended for players familiar with classic roguelikes and Angband variants.
