WazHack was a bit of a darling for its brief time in the sun. It no longer seems to be recieving updates as of 2022, but it's still a fun, quirky, interesting game with endearingly cheap graphics and a solid foundational system. People who like traditional roguelikes will find it familiar, and should still get plenty of use out of it even with the current development stasis.
