Consequently they will harass the player for a time with actions like summoning powerful monsters against the player, inflicting nasty status effects like slowing, or simply dealing large amounts of damage on the player. However, this will usually cause the deity to become angry at the player. A player can also choose to abandon their god in favor of another. Some gods' enhancements are tailored to specific play styles, such as Okawaru's gifts of weapons and combat boosts supporting fighter types and Sif Muna's gifts of spell books and increases to MP regeneration, which are more beneficial to sorcerer types. Favor with one's god is rewarded with widely different benefits, ranging from passive enhancements to occasional gifts to the player to powerful activated abilities. Some appreciate the player exploring or killing enemies, but there are also more whimsical gods like Ru, who expects sacrifices of his worshippers. Favor with gods is earned in different ways. The choice of the deity significantly impacts gameplay. A few backgrounds even start the game already worshipping a specific god. The player can choose to worship one of the gods once the appropriate altar is found. The game also offers a pantheon of 26 gods. The background choice determines the starting skills and equipment, with 24 choices as of 0.28 such as fighters, necromancers, and berserkers unlike species choice, background choice only affects the start of the game – the player is not prevented from pursuing any skills and using any equipment. In the 0.28 version, 27 species are available, from those with little deviation from the common mechanics such as humans and hill orcs, to species such as mummies and octopodes which have unusual gameplay mechanics. The species choice determines the aptitudes of the character for each of the skills, which represent how much experience is needed to raise the skill to higher levels and adds species-specific abilities. The player determines which skills to increase. Character advancement is based on experience points gained by defeating monsters, which increase both an experience level and a set of skills including melee weapons, ranged weapons and magic. Randomly generated levels may contain randomly chosen manually designed fragments called "vaults", as well as portals to special manually designed mini-levels called "portal vaults" such as volcanoes and wizard's laboratories.Ĭharacters are initially defined by their species and their background. Most levels are randomly generated to maximize variety, while the levels containing the objective items are randomly chosen between several manually-designed layouts, which usually contain random elements, and which are authored in a Crawl-specific language incorporating Lua scripting. Conversely, the developer team seeks to avoid providing incentives for repeating boring actions without consideration, or providing illusory gameplay choices where one alternative is always superior. The game has an explicit design philosophy intended to provide interesting strategic and tactical choices within a balanced game to offer replayability based on random dungeon generation to make the game accessible and enjoyable without deep knowledge of its internal mechanics and to present a friendly user interface that can optionally automate several tasks like exploration and searching for previously seen items. To enter the Realm of Zot where the Orb is located, the player must first obtain at least three "runes of Zot" of the 15 available these are located at the ends of diverse dungeon branches such as the Spider Nest, Tomb, and Slime Pits. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a roguelike game where the player creates a character and guides it through a dungeon, mostly consisting of persistent levels, full of monsters and items, with the goal of retrieving the "Orb of Zot" (a MacGuffin) located there, and escaping alive.
