Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions - apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings, just to name a few.So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. Hack the limbs off monsters - every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player.Dig through everything - don’t like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava.Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations - each world is nearly 1 million maps large.Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects, and 24 castes and kits - outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself it’s all the character diversity you could want.The result is a hybrid handcrafted & procedurally-generated world where you can do just about anything. Caves of Qud weaves a handwritten narrative through rich physical, social, and historical simulations.
