DREMWKR  I have been playing Angband and the like, a long time before I played WoW. I enjoy the thoughtful pacing and using my imagination. I still play it because it is rich in RPG aspects, the way that a movie isn't as rich and in depth as a book is. Before there was a WoW, Warcraft, etc. there was Moria and its variants, Angband. This is a remarkable piece of gaming software.

(I give it a 5 for Graphics and Sound because I have a good imagination)

KRIS BROWNE  Amid the Rogue family of games, there are those descended of Nethack (which are direct Rogue descendants) and those descended of Moria. Of the Moria family, Angband is the most successful, most consistent, and to my mind most fun.

While there are tilesets available to play with a modicum of graphics, I still always play text only. I know in my minds eye what the various creatures look like, and no game will ever match the resolution of my imagination, even if they might have superior framerates.

NARGOT  perfect osx port of angband. havn't had time to test stability however, due to the nature of the game i would hazard a guess that it would be fine. I'll play it for a while when i get time.

To those who want a fast action paced graphics based game this is not for you. Those who love moria/anband this is for you.

i have given 5 star review as angband as is a fantastic game and the 1 star reviews are complete rubbish.

FROSTY  Seeing as some have totally misunderstood this genre of computer game and have therefore given it a very low rating because they thought there ought to be graphics in a 1.7mb download, I felt the need to give a positive review. I have played this game on and off for ten years. It is an extremely challenging game (for me) and will offer hours of gameplay if you like RPGs.

I wish there was continued development on this game, but it seems that steam has run out of the project. I'm glad it was ported to OS X though. Thank you developer. Good job.

MAGSTA  It was boring and needed some graphics.

LEGOLAS  Most kids 15 and under would not like it maybe even 20 and under... personaly I will probably never play it again. :)

CAUTION:

THIS IS A TEXT ONLY GAME!!  
(Version 3.0.5)

MIKAL  Excellent dungeons&adventure type of game for intelligent players that have imagination, persistence, skills, strategic thinking and ... ehem, courage :)

Most recommended !!!

Five stars !

N. PARAMUS  Very addictive and intelligent old school game.

It is refreshing to play a game that doesn't rely on the latest video card or needs multi gigs of files.

Unlike other games this one depends on the player for imagination. Much like reading a novel instead of watching the movie.

To get the most out of the game, it is best to read the help files by typing '?'.

DES COURTNEY  A more serious, less tougue-in-check game than NetHack, Angband is a classical "roguelike" game inspired by The Lord Of The Rings. While its dated "emacs" like interface will turn off many modern game players, the replay value and game depth puts most 3-D games to shame.  
(Version 3.0.5)

ANONYMOUS  Note: this is not a game for idiots. Angband is a tremendously rich and enjoyable fantasy adventure game with a difficult-to-learn interface, more so for younger players who have never experienced a text-based or Apple II-style game.

Some people love it, and some people don't get it. So try downloading Angband and figure out which one you are.  
(Version 3.0.5)

IAN MCCOWAN  Had you bothered to read the readme or tried pressing "?" while playing (reasonably intuitive if you want help, I think), you might have found help files available in abundance.

Angband's been around for 14 years, and for good reason; your inability or unwillingness to figure it out doesn't merit a one-star rating and probably reflects more on you than on the game.  
(Version 3.0.5)

ANONYMOUS  This is just about the worst mac application (let alone game) that I have ever opened.

It is played within a terminal window (fair enough), but after creating your character, you're subjected to a clueless textual interface. I died within five seconds of holding down the arrow keys (ie, moving around the "world").

After this, I promptly trashed this download.
