NetHack is a free, challenging, single-player roguelike game with unique dungeons and no repeated encounters. It is not an online RPG, but can be played online. The goal is to ascend to immortality by retrieving the Amulet of Yendor and offering it to a specific god.
Video games are very popular and NetHack is no exception. One difference is that while many popular computer games are highly profitable, NetHack is free to play. It is a free roguelike computer game that is said to be very challenging. NetHack is meant to make people think and prides itself on being a difficult game to play. Gamers generally don’t subscribe to “cheats” or “spoilers” and tend to frown on such things.
While you can save files that will allow you to continue playing a character after they die, this is also frowned upon. Numerous lives are common in other games, but many NetHack players find this defeats the purpose, as ultimate success in the game relies on critical thinking and strategy. If you can simply resume playing after death, you are more likely to play impulsively instead of taking the time to think before making a move.
Dungeons in NetHack are different from those found in many other games in that they are not always repeated encounters. They are often composed of more casual scenarios, leaving the player to find their own way, using trap doors and looking for hidden doors and passages. You may not see the same build twice, even if you play a different character.
NetHack is also a single-player game, as opposed to the many popular multiplayer RPGs, also known as RPGs. Also, keep in mind that despite having “net” in its name, NetHack was not developed as an online RPG. The term refers to a number of game developers who worked together on the game over the Internet, never meeting in person. NetHack can be played online, via public servers. However, the game will still be single player as there is no option for direct competition with other players.
Like many other “Dungeons and Dragons” style games, there are monsters and bosses that must be defeated. These types of games share a number of similarities but at the same time they can be very different from each other. World of Warcraft, for example, boasts millions of online players. The game itself plus expansion packs and online play time cost money, where NetHack is free. On the other hand, World of Warcraft allows players to directly interact with other people around the world.
Ultimately, NetHack’s goal is to “ascend” to immortality. This is done by retrieving the Amulet of Yendor from a boss at the bottom of a dungeon and offering it to a specific “god”. This too requires strategy and isn’t just a simple “turn in quest” ending, but we wouldn’t want to turn this into a spoiler. To know the ins and outs of ascension, you will have to play NetHack yourself.
