WazHack is a procedurally-generated dungeon game. This is not a button mashfest - you can spend all the time you need contemplating your actions. With over 300 different types of items to be found, there are many different ways to deal with the more than 130 different types of monsters. You will have to use your sword or staff as much as your inventory. It's not a game of plodding to the end and winning (though it is winnable), it's about experiencing the attempt... and learning lessons that will help your next valiant attempt!

Latest News: WazHack 1.1 - a feast of dungeon goodness in a free update
0 comments by WazWaz on Mar 25th, 2013
After 6 months of development and an intense beta, WazHack 1.1 is now available. The new content is a free update to the 1.0 version.
Time freezes while you don't move - enemies move when you move... or perhaps you will use time to quaff a potion, zap a wand, or cast a spell. This time freezing mechanics is reminiscent of Dragon Age or even Braid, but in fact it derives from the original Rogue turn based mechanic. WazHack is a roguelike in the same tradition as NetHack or DCSS, but with a whole new 3D visual presentation like none other. You still get "turn based" action, but now a "turn" is a fraction of a second. By removing player reaction time as a concern, you're free to contemplate the vast array of possible items you have in your inventory when faced with a difficult situation, while still being free to hack and slash through a band of weakling kobolds and watch their ragdoll-physics reptilian corpses crumple to the ground.
There are now over 300 different items in the game, and the new items go quite well with some of the new dungeon features. For example, you may find a small room with a closed door... before you knock on the door it might be a good idea to drop some of your gems and see if they are actually gas bombs, so you can weaken the horde of monsters as they come out of the room.
The new dungeon branch plays homage to NetHack's "Gnomish Mines". In WazHack, the mine has gnomes, but it also has a mine shaft with an elevator, and some other more deadly industrial advances await you. A pick-axe may come in handy too.
That's enough spoilers! Get playing and discover it for yourself!

THE most awesome game! New life to the 'Rogue' type. Totally replayable again and again.

Man can you change the graphics?You can make them more serious I guess.
iOS release yet? I've been enjoying it a lot on my PC. Can't wait to use it on the go
Nearly all the work is done - after the beta, when 1.1 is released, I'll be submitting a build to Apple for approval!
ETA on 1.1?
I've stopped playing until it drops, and want to continue playing. =)
Beta is up now! Enjoy!
It will go gold as soon as enough people have played without finding bugs. No reports after 50 games yesterday, so that's a promising start.
I just wanted to come back and say I'm still loving this game. Thanks for the entertainment! One of the best bang for your buck games I've found.
No compat mode should be needed. Windows 7 Pro 64bit is exactly what I use when developing, and that's a pretty popular video card. Does the web version work (www.wazhack.com/play)? If you hold Shift while running it, you'll get a config dialog, where you can change the default resolution and graphics settings - if a resolution works for you, let me know and I'll try to investigate (I'm just one Indie dev, so my test hardware is limited).
Thanks for the reply. I already replied to my own post with the fix back on Jan. 23rd. It ended up being an ATI driver issue (surprise!) and was fixed by a complete reinstall of the drivers. I just beat the game for the first time last night and it was crazy hard! Had to teleport my way from the very bottom all the way out with a ring of teleport control as I was out of healing potions, healing and damage spells, and down to almost no life. Awesome!
Ah, oops, maybe both our answers might help someone else then. Well done on the win, but watch out: in 1.1 that last room will be teleport-proof!
I looked at the crash logs and saw it was related to an ATI .dll file. I uninstalled all ATI software/drivers and reinstalled them. Game works now. Yay!
