Tangaria is an open source multiplayer roguelike inspired by Angband, which means that it's based on Tolkien's mythology. To be more exact, this game takes place during the Fourth Age, when Morgoth is still alive and at large. In fact, as in Angband, you'll come face to face with Morgoth himself.
The first thing you have to do before entering Middle Earth is create your hero. It's important to keep in mind that you don't have to register to play. But you'll need to choose a username and password. After that, you can create your hero by choosing between dozens of different races and classes, including human, dwarf, semi-troll, warrior, rogue, explorer, and more. You'll have hundreds of combinations at your disposal.
Once you've created your character, you'll discover that Tangaria is a roguelike with a huge and totally open world. The adventure isn't linear, so you can do whatever you want, including exploring the world, talking to NPCs and other players, traveling through dungeons, and much more. In fact, the dungeons are destructible: with the right spell, you can destroy practically anything you find.
One of the most unique aspects of Tangaria is its multiplayer component. On one hand, there's the classic PVE, which lets you create your own Fellowship of the Ring with other players with whom you can fight evil side by side. On the other hand, there's also PVP, where you can fight against other players in exciting battles to the death.
Tangaria is a truly unique experience that combines the best of roguelikes and MMORPGs, despite their differences. It's worth mentioning that this is a challenging game, and you'll have to spend at least an hour learning the controls and some of the more complex gameplay.
