NetHack Mod is a direct mobile port of the 1987 ASCII-based roguelike dungeon exploration game. It is designed for players familiar with traditional, turn-based RPG mechanics and permadeath. The core loop involves descending through the Dungeons of Doom, managing inventory, solving environmental puzzles, and battling monsters in a procedurally generated world. The mobile adaptation retains the original's keyboard command complexity through a touch-based interface overlay.
What This Mod Unlocks
- All character classes (e.g., Archeologist, Barbarian, Healer) are unlocked from the start.
- All character races (e.g., Human, Elf, Orc) are available for selection.
- All role-specific starting gear kits are accessible.
- The ability to choose any lawful/neutral/chaotic alignment combination is enabled.
- Character creation attribute rolling is bypassed, allowing direct assignment.
The primary mod feature is integrated into the character creation screen. After launching NetHack Mod and selecting 'New Game', the character role selection menu will display all options without restriction. The alignment and race selection screens function similarly.

Known edge cases include the potential for saved games created with modded characters to become unstable if the mod is removed. The mod only affects the initial character generation parameters; all other game systems, including monster difficulty and item generation, remain unchanged. Playing NetHack Mod in online score submission modes with modded characters may result in score rejection.
