You play as an adventurer who sets out to defend the world from the Coming of Chaos, as told by an ancient prophecy. ADOM offers many areas to explore, as well as multiple story-driven quests and endings. While the early versions were limited to ASCII graphics, later versions added tile-based graphics, music, sound, and an overworld map.
