Time for another game in the snap store, methinks.
Tales of Maj’Eyal (ToME) is a free, open source roguelike RPG, featuring tactical turn-based combat and advanced character building. Play as one of many unique races and classes in the lore-filled world of Eyal, exploring random dungeons, facing challenging battles, and developing characters with your own tailored mix of abilities and powers. With a modern graphical and customisable interface, intuitive mouse control, streamlined mechanics and deep, challenging combat, Tales of Maj’Eyal offers engaging roguelike gameplay for the 21st century.
The continent of Maj’Eyal lives in a relative peace. After millennia of war the orcs are extinct, the advanced races have allied together, and the evils of magic have been repressed. But there are still untamed forests, cursed lands, marauding bandits, sealed dungeons of undead, and whispers spread of hidden cults of mages. Some even say the orcs are not all dead, and muster their strength in dark places.
You are an adventurer, seeking your fortune in the open world, investigating ruins and mysteries in search of riches and powers. Explore a continent still scarred by the terrible Spellblaze from ages past, teeming with wild beasts, monsters, trolls and giants. Delve through dark dungeons infested by armies of undead, demonic monstrosities and hideous horrors. Uncover world changing secrets, from relics of the ancient and all-powerful Sher’Tul race to veiled cities of magic and concealed psionic beings. Fight with skill and care against undying necromancers, towering dragons, primeval forces, arcane demons and world-threatening powers.
Take part in an epic fantasy adventure like no other, engaging both your imagination and your intelligence, demanding thought and attention to succeed. Winner of the Roguelike of the Year award 2010, 2011 and 2012, Tales of Maj’Eyal is backed by constant development and an active, friendly community that have together invested over 945 years of total playtime.
I haven’t done much testing with this one. The game is huge and complex. It isn’t usually a style of game which appeals to me but it gets Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam so I’m looking forward to trying it.
Let me know if it runs on your machine and post your combination of hardware and drivers. I’m particularly interested in whether the online integration works.
Killed by Prox on Trollmire 3… apparently this is usual for newbies… Apparently I should only get one level in something (can’t remember what…) and I should get Rush… Really cool that there’s in-game chat and online character profiles despite it being a single-player game! https://te4.org/characters/230586/tome/0bf5f97a-ccd4-45c0-b94e-618426131b0f
This was really enjoyable, the graphics feel better ingame than they look in the screenshots! The snap worked flawlessly on my machine up until that point. Think this’ll have to be added to my list of great FOSS games.

You’re welcome Also, on my character page it’s listing me as having the Items Vault 1.5.0 but I haven’t bought the game or donated to it…so presumably it was bundled in the snap and needs to be removed? Unless this is a mistake in the game/character page itself…
Also I haven’t tried any mods etc, I wonder how they’ll work with the snap…
Also it would be good if you added a contact field to the entry with snap info talesofmajeyal, maybe an email or a link to this forum topic (until/unless the snap is taken on by upstream, then it can link to upstream support).
I’m not sure about that. The only things in the snap are whatever is bundled in the source tarball from the official site. I’ll drop an email to upstream to clarify whether they mean for this to be distributed.
The game is astounding, truly great. All action, all loot, no grinding and no fluff. Can’t find a single fault with it hitting all the buttons, great snap.
On Ubuntu I am unable to copy addon files to the ./snap/… /addons/ folder.
I get a read-only file system error.
It would be nice if there was a spot in my home folder where the config and save files are kept that teaa files would get used? I’m going to dig in the cfg files, maybe there’s a fix there. Addons make TOME better.
It might be a few days before I can look at this but I’d like to get it working for you. I’ll ping you here when I’ve had the chance explore the problem, if that’s ok?
I think this works if you create a folder named addons under $HOME/snap/talesofmajeyal/current/.t-engine/4.0 . Do you want to test that and let me know if it works for you? If so, I’ll try to think of a way to make this more obvious to players.
