description Triangle Wizard Overview

Triangle Wizard is a 2008 freeware role-playing game developed by Wouter van den Wollenberg. Unlike many traditional roguelikes, the game utilizes a real-time combat system where the player controls a wizard represented by a triangle. Players explore procedurally generated dungeons, cast a wide variety of spells, and manage complex character builds that can be displayed in either ASCII or graphical tile formats. It is intended for players looking for a highly detailed, fast-paced magical dungeon crawler.
