The description of Ultima Ratio Regum - Play With New Friends
Ultima Ratio Regum is a very special roguelike where the main focus is not combat or traps, as with the majority of other games in this genre. Instead, you'll be tasked with finding evidence scattered around the world in order to uncover an intellectual conspiracy to rewrite the history of mankind, from religion and customs to types of government and more.
When you start a new game, Ultima Ratio Regum begins by generating a whole universe. Basically, the game generates an entire galaxy, planets and all. Then you choose the planet where you want to play. You can indicate certain preferences for your planet, such as the preferred type of government, culture, religious beliefs, and legal system. Or, if you prefer, you can randomize it.
Once you've created the world, you can start playing. In the beginning, as in most roguelikes, the game might be a little confusing. Luckily, Ultima Ratio Regum includes a sort of built-in tutorial that explains all the controls available to you in each moment. No matter what, from the beginning, you can move around the world freely and begin your investigation.
Ultima Ratio Regum is a totally unique roguelike with an ambitious premise. Visually speaking, this game has a certain charm that goes far beyond its ASCII style, such as its procedurally-generated ANSI illustrations. And that's what's at the core of this game: everything is procedurally-generated, so no game is alike, and you'll never get bored.
