Hack, Slash, Loot
By OddballDave | Released Jan 21, 2012
There are dark places in the world inhabited by evil denizens. Places filled with danger and foreboding where no ordinary man would dare to journey. However, there are a few who are willing to risk death in the name of good, in the name of justice, in the name of.. valuable loot! Hack, Slash, Loot(HSL) is a single-player turn-based dungeon crawler for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Take control of a lone hero and explore sprawling dungeons, fight dangerous monsters, and most importantly, plunder valuable treasures. HSL features thousands of items, monsters, and dungeon features, and with a new dungeon created every game you can be sure that no two plays will ever be the same. Boasting easy to master controls you'll be adventuring in no time, but there is still enough depth to challenge the most hardened of adventurers.

I love Rogue-likes, and was excited to see one with a nice graphical style. The simple interface also makes this game more approachable than most games in that genre. However, what I enjoy about Rogue-likes is their complexity of interaction. This game is closer to the complete lack of complexity of "Gauntlet." Which is perfectly fine if that's what one enjoys. "Hack, Slash, Loot" has the classic "NetHack" keys available for movement and attacking. But this just makes it feel like that much more…

@fassolas @JigxorAndy Doing something you enjoy is never a waste of time. Or are you some kind of workaholic machine?

@moshboy He gets lots of hate from ppl due to the games quality, but I think those ppl have missed the point. He's a winner in my book.

@wiebow Then how do you know that they're shitty?

@wiebow Well I've made plenty of shitty games in my time so that doesn't bother me. And like me I don't think he makes game for the fame.

@DesktopGamer Not everyone is trying to make Citizen Kane. Some of us are happier making Troma films. It can be a lot more rewarding.

@DesktopGamer There's a couple of different ones, but does it really matter? The guy's doing what he loves. You can't fault him for that.

This ain't rouge-like :(
I'll keep it installed on my Steam library and try to play a few times though.

This game turned my son gay. Now he likes men :(

Thanks. I always enjoy hearing what people think of the game. The lack of sound on some Linux distros is a known issue. You may find a solution that works for you here:-

I really enjoyed this. Took a bit to get the hang of it, but it's actually quite fun.
So, how exactly does this qualify as a "game"?. Seems like when I attempt "playing" it, everything is pre-determined.
I see no real way for me to build up my character, or how to make a good stratigy on fighting the bad guys.
Can someone please post a nice playerguide? The one on YouTube is just a bias 10 minute long rant.
I really want to love this, I really do!
It's not pre-determined. And not every level playable from the start. Mask looks like simplest level for me to start - it _can_ be finished with basic character. :)
Stick to the easier ones at first, like Mask of the Boy King or Journey to the Kimon.
Here's a guide someone made about completing your first quest - Chat.hackslashloot.com
Awesome update! It really evens the odds.
(Hopes for multiplayer)
