A very nice little roguelike - the UI is quite clean and usable once you get used to it (much better than Dungeonmans, which I love but you're always fighting the UI and graphics).

Developed by IBOLOGY LLC (Bob Saunders), the same guy behind the cult classic Approaching Infinity, The Curse of Yendor offers a good experience for both newcomers and veterans of the roguelike genre, providing both the traditional YASD experience as well easier difficulty levels and the possibility to disable permadeath, if you wanna play it like a regular RPG.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

I also found it amusing to mix classic 8-bit game sounds with a nice Dark Ambient soundtrack, and somehow it just works.
