Oubliette is a classic dungeon fantasy role playing game. Remade in the image of the original game's 1983 release by Victor Helsing and Jim Schwaiger, this version features a new graphical presentation while still remaining true to the time-tested gameplay of this dungeon-crawling fantasy adventure.
Earning its reputation as the thinking man's dungeon game, Oubliette blends the thrill of mortal combat with the sublime challenges of strategy, planning and adaptation. Rather than testing your reaction speed and nerves, like a first person shooter, Oubliette challenges the player to do careful strategic planning as well as make tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Each player (character) in the game is created from one of eight player races, which vary in attributes such as strength, intelligence, dexterity and durability. Depending on these attributes, each player will be qualified to join a limited number of player classes (occupations). Unlike games which focus on a single player against multiple opponents, Oubliette allows a party of up to 10 players with complementary skills to face the various types of monsters found in the dungeon. There are more than 160 different monsters, and to deal with them, more than 150 different pieces of equipment, which may be enchanted with special properties or skills.
