Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition, the most modern roguelike ASCII dungeon crawler in town, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 25% launch discount!

Don't be fooled by appearances, this is no DOS-era oldie. Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition is everything that you'd normally expect from a modern roguelike - randomizable challenges, streamlined turn-based combat, and a healthy dose of not taking itself too seriously. The game has won numerous awards and praise for the extremely well designed roguelike RPG elements. The twist here are the graphics - fully designed and realised with ASCII art for that little bit of retro charm, and a one-of-a-kind experience.

Use your imagination in Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition, available now DRM-free on GOG.com! The 25% launch discount will last for one week, until Friday, February 20 at 5:59 PM GMT.

<span class="bold">TWITCH STREAM SPECIAL</span>
Our very own JudasIscariot will be streaming Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition on twitch.tv/gogcom!

He's never been good with letters and things. Help him figure out just what it is that he's doing, this Saturday, February 14th at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST / 11am PST

Got me hyped even more... how can poor ol' me never heard of this one?!
That's what I call "that's my gigantic cup of tea".

IAmSinistar: Dang, I knew I'd have to buy a soundcard one day. ;)

Thanks for the link!

JudasIscariot: Make sure to buy one that works :P
*nope sir I didn't*

It's you! Hooray!
Sorry if I seemed like a sissy girl, got excited here :(
Don't take it too personal, but you're a "hell of a kind gamer", man.

It's not everyday that you get so many delicious frosting releases and, a cool themed WB cake and, on top of that, an old ASCII cherry for delightful pleasures, yummy :P

I loved the classic version and I was hoping that Black would come to GOG. Will buy it right now. Thank you for bringing it here!

sunshinecorp: That used to happen to me a lot, then I realised it was the fault of my screen. I switched how the graphics are handled via the AMD control panel (I'm sure NVIDIA panel has something similar) to the graphics card instead of the monitor when it comes to resizing and it never happened again. I hope that helps you, though I can't be sure that's your problem, there's a good chance it is.

JudasIscariot: Thanks :) I'll have to poke around, then :)

Other than that, the game runs fine for me :)
Another trick to try with Wine resolution problems is to enable virtual desktop in winecfg. I don't know why it matters if a game goes fullscreen anyway but in my experience it sometimes does matter.

Fine, I've bough it now. Hopefully will get actual time to play it soon.

Have to say, I'm shocked by the explicit box art with the exposed breasts, though.

x2 instabought. Not a showy guy when it comes to "bought" on the threads, but in this case we gotta show people there's market for games so particular like these.

From United States

Why am I not surprised? :P

Also, that art is missing the required ) ( for the full effect because it looks more like a pair of downcast eyes to me :P

I got it on Steam from that one forum thread the devs made. Didn't know it left Early Access, that's cool!

Edit: Lol, toaster-compatible

I see the reputation of our national character precedes us. :)

Personally, I think ASCII art could easily replace the Rorschach Test. "Tell me what you see here. Hmm, hmm, yes, interesting..."

I just tried it. The combat kinda overwhelmed me. xD
Gonna try and figure out how it works exactly in a while.

There is an in-game manual that you can view via the Character menu. It should explain just about everything you need to know. Also, did you do the tutorial? :)

Good to know there's a in-game manual though. :)

Dammit GOG, after my wallet took the hit yesterday NOW this?

I am surprised and would not expect game like this ending here :D

Personally, I have to have at least some kind of graphics to be bale to play the game, but to each of their own.. and, who knows, maybe I will grow fond of ASCII art games in the future ;)
