You could try Zangband for something inbetween the two

[Svlad]

I prefer either vanilla Angband or TOME to Zangband.  Vanilla has no game-breaking wacky stuff added in, TOME is the other extreme.. the points between aren't as exciting to me.

Make that an if.

Getting almost spammy, but I just have to say:

I knew you'd answer like that!!!

[Tom Henrik]

Wheee

I just had to try the game again (as I did play it a little for the competition judging, but this was my first attempt at playing seriously.)

I had 1% health left when I met that Lost Soul

Anyways... what's the point of the Combat Shotgun? It loads 5 bullets, but I have to reload for each shot just like with an ordinary shotgun

Edit:
Nevermind. I found it out. It selfloads after a turn, so that you can run away from bullets in the meantime. Nifty

[Havell]

It's much faster to reload than an ordinary shotgun, if you stay still and use the "r" key to reload then you can pump more than one shot into many enemies before they can do anything.

[Tom Henrik]

Oooh... Even niftier!

[BeefontheBone]

It also lets you fire several times before you need to reload, so you can kill more enemies in the same length of time - you've a better chance of cleaing an area before needing to reload, so you take less damage. It might also have a slightly wider spread at range, can't remember - it did in the original game IIRC.

[Tom Henrik]

My favourite weapon sofar is the Rapid Combat Shotgun

I had a Rocket Launcher and a Chain Gun as well, but they couldn't compete at all. My favourite game in the original game was always the Dual Barreled Shotgun, but it's not that good in this game IMHO. It can't beat the Rapid Combat Shotgun at all.

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

rapid shotgun eh ive only seen the shotgun, double shotgun, fastload shotgun, combat shotgun, extended shotgun but no rapid shotguns  

[Tom Henrik]

Guess I was lucky. Haven't seen it since
