Vulture for NetHack

Every game brings a new hero, a randomly generated dungeon, and new ways to die! Master different races and classes, collect gear, uncover treasures, battle monsters, and solve puzzles. Find the Amulet of Yendor and escape alive in this point-and-click isometric roguelike RPG. One life. No mercy.

Welcome to Vulture for NetHack!

A legendary dungeon. Countless possibilities. One very slim chance of survival.

Vulture for NetHack brings the legendary depth, complexity, and unforgiving gameplay of NetHack to life with colourful isometric graphics, intuitive point-and-click controls, and a detailed fantasy world.

Explore dangerous dungeons, encounter bizarre creatures, experiment with mysterious items, and discover just how many ways there are to meet an untimely end. Every decision matters, every discovery teaches you something, and every adventure is a story waiting to happen.

Choose Your Hero. Meet Your Fate.

Will you charge into battle as a fearless Barbarian, wield powerful magic as a Wizard, sneak through the shadows as a Rogue, or trust your luck as a Tourist?

Choose from a variety of races, roles, and alignments, each offering different abilities, challenges, and strategies. Experiment with combinations, discover your strengths, and find new ways to survive.

Your hero might not make it out alive, but the knowledge you gain could save your next one!

No Two Dungeons Are Alike

Forget memorising maps. Every adventure takes place in a randomly generated dungeon filled with winding corridors, hidden rooms, dangerous traps, mysterious treasures, and unpredictable encounters.

One moment you're celebrating a lucky discovery. The next, you're desperately searching your inventory for something, anything, that might keep you alive.

Explore. Experiment. Adapt. Survive.

Monsters, Magic & Mayhem

From humble newts and mischievous goblins to terrifying dragons and powerful demons, the dungeon is crawling with creatures that would love to make your adventure a short one.

Fight with weapons, cast spells, use magical wands, drink potions, read scrolls, and turn the environment to your advantage.

But brute force won't always save you. Sometimes the cleverest move is running away. Sometimes it's using an unusual item in an unexpected way. And sometimes... well, at least you'll know what not to do next time.

Loot First. Ask Questions Later.

Discover weapons, armour, rings, amulets, spellbooks, potions, scrolls, and countless other items scattered throughout the dungeon.

But there's a catch: not everything is what it seems.

That unidentified potion could save your life or ruin your day. That shiny new sword might be cursed. And that seemingly useless item could become your greatest weapon.

Experiment, identify, enchant, and combine items to uncover surprising possibilities. The more you learn, the more creative your strategies become.

Death Is Permanent. Knowledge Isn't.

In Vulture for NetHack, there are no second chances. When your hero dies, that adventure is over.

But dying is part of the fun!

Every defeat is an opportunity to discover a new trick, understand a monster, master an item, or laugh at a spectacularly unfortunate mistake.

The dungeon doesn't get easier. You get smarter.

The Ultimate Quest: The Amulet of Yendor

Deep within the dungeon lies the legendary Amulet of Yendor. Finding it is only half the challenge.

You'll need to descend into increasingly dangerous depths, overcome powerful enemies, recover the Amulet, and somehow make it all the way back out alive.

Sounds simple?
