Tales of Maj'Eyal, also known by the abbreviation ToME, is a free, open source roguelike roleplaying fantasy game published by NetCore Games. The software falls within the games category, and more specifically within the roleplaying game and roguelike subgenres, which are traditionally characterized by procedurally challenging gameplay, dungeon exploration, and permadeath-style mechanics. The defining characteristics of the software are its tactical turn-based combat system and its advanced character building capabilities, which together form the core of the player experience. The tactical turn-based combat means that encounters unfold in measured rounds rather than in real time, allowing players to consider positioning, abilities, and strategy before committing to each action, while the advanced character building gives players detailed control over how their characters develop and specialize over the course of a playthrough. Typical use cases for Tales of Maj'Eyal include single-player fantasy roleplaying sessions in which users explore the game's world, engage enemies in strategic combat scenarios, and experiment with different character builds and progression paths. Because the game is distributed as free and open source software, it is suitable for players who prefer cost-free gaming options as well as for users and developers interested in open source game projects. The software serves both casual players seeking an accessible roguelike experience and dedicated enthusiasts of the genre who value deep mechanical systems. The current version of Tales of Maj'Eyal available in this catalog is 1.7.6, and the catalog lists one version of the software in total, meaning version 1.7.6 is the sole release represented. This combination of an open license, tactical gameplay depth, and extensive character customization options positions Tales of Maj'Eyal as a notable entry in the roguelike roleplaying category for users browsing free and open source game offerings.
