description ToME 2 Overview
ToME 2, or Tales of Middle Earth 2, is an open-source, turn-based roguelike video game derived from the Angband codebase. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional universe, players explore dungeons, fight monsters, and collect items as characters from Middle-earth races and classes. It is a significant branch in the game's history, serving as the stable version before the developer transitioned the project into the original setting of Tales of Maj'Eyal.
This game is targeted at fans of complex, traditional fantasy role-playing games.
help ToME 2 FAQ
How is ToME 2 related to Angband?
ToME 2 began as a variant of the text-based roguelike Angband and retains its turn-based dungeon exploration, character symbols, and procedural levels. It adds extensive Tolkien-inspired locations, quests, races, classes, and magic systems.
Is ToME 2 the same game as Tales of Maj'Eyal?
No. ToME 2 belongs to the older Tales of Middle Earth branch, while Tales of Maj'Eyal is a substantially redesigned graphical roguelike commonly called ToME4.
Can you explore Middle-earth outside the main dungeon in ToME 2?
Yes. Unlike a simple descent through one dungeon, ToME 2 has an overworld connecting towns and locations such as Mordor and Moria, with quests spread across them.
Does ToME 2 use permanent death?
Its traditional roguelike rules include permanent character death, although available options and variants may offer ways to soften that rule. Turn-based play lets the player consider each movement, spell, or attack before enemies respond.
