Are there any other games out there like Tales of Maj'Eyal?

[The Last Monke]

I enjoy this game so much, I want to buy more games like this game for my collection. Can someone give me a list of PC games that are like Tales of Maj'Eyal?

There's also this list: http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Category:Roguelike_games

Note: not all of them are PC games, but you can figure out which ones are.

A lot of roguelikes are very different from Tales of Maj'Eyal unfortunately.

Damn wikipedia. There are very few legitimate roguelikes in that list.

The only other rogue like game I play is Unreal world and it is a survival :(
But I am also interested if someone found a good one.

Rogue Survivor is really good, even though its dev abandoned it. Dwarf Fortress' adventure mode is kinda a roguelike, and it has the best combat system I've ever seen in a game, but it's very incomplete right now (the next version's gonna remedy that). Paranautical Activity is also fun, if you're into Quake-y games (it's a roguelike-like). Elona is also really good, by virtue of how insane it is.

EDIT: I also heard Cataclysm DDA is one of the best roguelikes out there, but I can't stand ASCII graphics, and the tilesets currently in development can't entitely cover the ASCII yet, AFAIK.

ADOM, DCSS and Brogue would be my main recommendations. Depends on what you like about ToME though.

[gorathff]

add to the list:
Sword of the Stars: The Pit
Dungeon of Dredmor

[Vaughner]

Dungeons of Dredmor is a good one. (Can get on Steam) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a great one too... and that one is free. Brogue is one of my favorites though it is ASCII based. Unreal World is awesome. Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead is an amazing game.

Nothing is much like ToME but each of those I have listed has a solid base and are all very enjoyable.

Have Fun!

Elona is probably the closest, but that was done by Japanese people with traditional japanese stuff....tentacles.. and the graphics are like they're from rpg maker.

It has quests and all that stuff, races/classes and whatnot.

If you can get over ASCII graphics, PosChenBand is great.

[Sumppi]

Yep, Elona+ and Dungeon Crawl Stonesoup are the closest I could think of.
Ofcourse there are loads of other roguelikes (nethack, angband variations, unreal world, doom roguelike, cataclysm..) but those two are the ones most similar to ToME. DF adventure mode is great but there is not a whole lot to do before the upcoming update.

Dredmor feels too... hmm.. I don't know. Plastic?

Oh man, just thinking about the upcoming update makes me excited. Anyone who somehow doubts it's gonna be amazing, just read the devlogs. Reading them is one of my favorite things to do, some of them are hilariously awesome (like the most recent one at the time of this comment, located here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/).

I can agree with this statement... but it is still pretty good. Though due to the humor and such it doesn't feel organic like many of the others. But that's pretty much by design. It's a funny and enjoyable experience but I still return to ToME for my core gaming though.

As for DwarfFortress... I can not wait for the next update. I finally had to break down and bought the O'Riley book some time ago and I love DF! I just wish Tarn would do a UI pass and clean things up a bit. There are just so many things that work weirdly it can be frustrating.

[BossGalaga]

CastlevaniaRL and DoomRL both have a very similar feel to ToME...in a way.

As far as personal recommendations, I would say:
Nethack (#1)/Vulture (UI for Nethack, its on Greenlight), ADOM, Brogue, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Powder, DoomRL, CastlevaniaRL (as previously mentioned), Dungeons of Dredmor.
