Elona
Elona is a roguelike game created by Japanese developer Noa. Its name is short for "Eternal League of Nefia". Noa began developing Elona in 2006, and based it on roguelikes such as Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) and Angband. Noa had previously made two other role-playing games, Shade and Etherwind. A reviewer at Insert Credit praised Elona as "very well-made" and compared its character development system to that of ADOM.

About This Game
Set in the fantasy world of Irva, Elona drops players into the northern reaches of the continent Tyris as a shipwreck survivor with no past and no allegiances. From there, they can become anything — adventurer, musician, merchant, god-favored champion — in a world of procedurally generated dungeons, towns, and unpredictable characters. A seasonal phenomenon called Etherwind periodically poisons the land with corrupting energy, and players must learn to manage its effects while juggling quests, divine relationships, and the fundamental challenge of survival.
