Sil-Q

language

description Sil-Q Overview

Sil-Q is a turn-based roguelike inspired by the classic Sil, a Tolkien-themed dungeon crawler. It’s notable for substantial revisions to the original game's mechanics including skill systems and late-game design improvements. The project caters to players who appreciate traditional roguelike gameplay and those interested in exploring a detailed fantasy world with strategic combat and stealth elements.

help Sil-Q FAQ

What is the goal in Sil-Q?

Sil-Q sends you into Angband to recover a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown and escape. That makes it much more tightly tied to Tolkien's First Age than broader Angband variants.

How does Sil-Q handle character progression?

Sil-Q does not use traditional character levels in the same way as many roguelikes. Experience is spent directly on skills such as Melee, Archery, Evasion, Stealth, Perception, Will, Smithing, and Song.

What is Sil-Q continuing from?

Sil-Q is a community continuation of Sil, the Tolkien-themed roguelike inspired by Angband. It revises balance, interface behavior, abilities, and late-game play rather than turning Sil into a totally different game.

Why do Sil-Q players talk about 1,000 feet?

The descent is measured in feet, and the deepest main objective lies around 1,000 feet in Angband. That fixed structure gives Sil-Q a sharper arc than many infinite or sprawling dungeon roguelikes.
