Caverns of Xaskazien may have been more popular, had its name been easier to remember/spell! (I still haven't got it down even after researching for this game posting!) It's a turn-based Roguelike game with randomized dungeons where the goal is to defeat the evil Xaskazien. Although it shares many traits with other Roguelikes, it also has its own unique feel, in part due to its visual look, and in part due to gameplay mechanics.Caverns of Xaskazien is a classic DOS action-adventure game from the early 1990s. Known for its combination of dungeon crawling, exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving mechanics, it immerses players in a fantasy world filled with dangerous creatures, hidden treasures, and challenging mazes.
