Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?
Who are you?
Play the role of a mutant indigenous to the salt-spangled dunes and jungles of Qud, or play a pure-strain descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes—the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City; the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul; or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon.
You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud's jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the fabled Spindle rises above the fray and pierces the cloud-ribboned sky.
You clutch your rifle, or your vibroblade, or your tattered scroll, or your poisonous stinger, or your hypnotized goat. You approach a watervine farmer—he lifts the brim of his straw hat and says, "Live and drink, friend."
What can you do?
Anything and everything. Caves of Qud is a deeply simulated, biologically diverse, richly cultured world.
Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects and 24 castes and kits—outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself—it's all the character diversity you could want.
Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations—each world is nearly 1 million maps large.
Dig through everything—don't like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava. Yes, every wall has a melting point.
Hack the limbs off monsters—every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things.
Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions—apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings—just to name a few.
Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.
Learn the lore—there's a story in every nook, from legendary items with storied pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.
Die—Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent. Don't worry, though—you can always roll a new character.

Caves of Qud is a roguelike RPG that combines the best of exploration, deep lore, and bizarre encounters. From the moment you step into its colorful, post-apocalyptic world, you’re hooked—whether you're crafting a mutant with a psychic brain or exploring ruins that feel like they’re from a fever dream. Every playthrough is unique, full of surprises, and the world is so rich, it feels like it has a personality all its own. If you're into challenging gameplay, strange creatures, and crafting your own crazy adventures, Caves of Qud is an absolute gem. It’s weird, wonderful, and completely addictive—get ready to lose hours, if not days!
If you ever read Jack Vance's Dying Earth and thought "I'd love to have an adventure like this", you've found it. You can live through tales of weird & wondrous science-fantasy in the Caves of Qud. Don't read guides or the wiki: play this game blind and be prepared for anything. This game is guaranteed to surprise you!
I almost skipped this game. Every Twitch streamer made this look like a shallow speedrun. But slowing down and taking in the details? I wish my tabletop D&D campaign had anywhere near this level of immersion.
The game, altough not complete and with some missing features, is in a perfectly viable state, and it can provide hundreds of hours of fun. In a massive procedurally generated world, the developers have created an incredibely rich and immersive environment, with a depth of narration and lore-buillding that very few titles manage to deliver (Dwarf fortress to name the most famous one).
The setting is a visually stunning esotic retro-futuristic lost world in which you will (if you are into this type of sci-fi) get lost in and be amazed by the copious amount of game mechanics, builds, and way of thriving and dying in an extremely alien world.
So, if you are into sci-fi and hard rogue-likes, this game is for you. Recently the devs have introduced a new mode that ease the difficulty by toggling permadeath, and another one that allows you to explore the game without having to care about fighting. On top of that, they are currently devoloping a new more modern UI, so the game is playble also with less keys (altough controlling your character just with the keyboard is fairly easy and intuitive).
Further more, they have added some starting builds that really help new players to get a feel of the gaming experience without being overwhelmed by the complex mechanics.
On the other hand, on a more negative side, if you are new to the genre this game can be really intimidating at first, and expect to DIE A LOT in your first playthroughs! But you will slowly start to understand how to play beside the basical commands, grasping the strategy and tactic behind the fight-and-flight mechanics.
Adding another negative note (that does not reduce my five stars), as other reviewers have said, this version is not compatible with the Steam mods, so you will have to tinker a bit in order to make the mod works.
Overall, I really praise the extremely detailed and engaging work the the small dev tems (mostly two) have done, and I really suggest you to give QuD a shot!
The true riches lie bellow, in the Caves of Qud.
A unique roguelike with a devoted development team, a bright future and a good community. The character building system is enormous and almost limitless, I love playing an albino birdman with a laser rifle shooting from above, or an amphibian mutant desert dweller wearing a stillsuit. On top of that the art-style is gorgeous and the music is perfect.
It's worth the price and runs on surprisingly slow PCs despite the complexity, go for it.
Live and drink, friend.
