Dusk of a Shattered Kingdom

This is a traditional roguelike where you are being imprisoned at the bottom of a dungeon and need to escape. Note that you will need to go up stairs, which is the opposite of most roguelikes.

Story

The Kingdom of Bador invaded Alumir in 1093. The defenses of Alumir were betrayed by an order of its knights and the king was slain.

You were a citizen loyal to the King of the Fallen Kingdom of Alumir and have been locked away. You must escape the dungeon to free your lands.

Run Prepackaged

Download the above zip, extract it. Navigate to the directory and execute

java -jar dusk-1.0.jar

If it doesn't work, make sure you have Java 8 installed. If you don't, you can grab it from http://www.java.com/

Compile From Source

To compile from source you will need a JDK and to install groovy and gradle. I recommend using http://gvmtool.net/ for that. Once you are set up, it will be something like:

git clone git://github.com/stewsters/dusk.git

cd dusk

gradle run

Controls

I tried to use Brogue as a model for my UI, so controls are similar.

Movement: numpad, vi keys, or arrow keys (if you don't like diagonal movement)

Melee: Bump into enemies

a: apply

d: drop

i: view inventory

g: Pick up

e: equip

r: remove

esc: back out of menus.  If you are not in a menu, it will bring up one that lets you level up your character or exit to main.
