* BladeOnAStick: You can fight with spears as well, forgoing the multi-enemy damaging swings of the bladed weapons for sake of greater range.

* WhipItGood: One of the weapon types. You can also get a Flaming Whip by killing the Balrog.

* AnAxeToGrind: One of the available melee weapons.

''Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy'' has been announced for 2020.

The game is heavily inspired by ''VideoGame/{{Nethack}}'', with the same premise (retrieving the Amulet of Yendor from the bottom of the Dungeons of Doom), and a very similar game log which often uses the same phrases (i.e. "You feel whole again" for when the player is healed back to full health.) However, it is fully real-time rather than simultaneous turn-based. Moreover, its key selling point is "circular" dungeon generation, where each floor loops organically around a point of interest at its core, rather than being a simple collection of rooms and corridors like in most classical roguelikes.

* OptionalStealth: It is possible to sneak by enemies, especially if you forgo heavy, movement-restraining and/or clanging armours, and slip into light cloaks instead.

* BladeOnAStick: You can fight with spears as well, forgoing the multi-enemy damagins swings of the bladed weapons for sake of greater range.

* CursedItem: Like in ''VideoGame/{{Rogue}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Nethack}}'', these will fuse themselves to your body, making it impossible to take off such cursed armour, or switch a cursed weapon to a different one, unless you happen to read a scroll of remove curse or your god decides to remove the curse in response to a prayer.

* HealingPotion: Present and accounted for. Because the player starts with two of them, they're the only potion that is identified from the start. More healing potions can be crafted by combining a Scroll of Light with a flask of Healing Water. The rest of the potions, depending on what achievements you unlocked and what items you buy at the start of a run, must be identified either through a scroll, by drinking them or buying them from a store in the dungeon.

* BloodlessCarnage: Averted. Defeated enemies leave blood splatter on the floor, be that blood red or black.

* FallDamage: Present. You should be especially careful if you happen to discover a Scroll of Descend, for instance: sure, it will instantly send you down to a lower level, and thus save you having to clear out a whole lot of rooms. The downside is that you'll literally fall, and do so qucikly enough to take hefty damage in the process.

Unless you buy them at the start of the game, the rest of the potion types can only be identified through a spell, or by drinking - but then you run a risk of accidentally ingesting poison, or something else really nasty.

* LevelLockedLoot: Much of gear or weapons can only be worn or wielded after your strength got high enough - which, in turn, can only be increased by either drinking strength potions or wearing strength-boosting rings and such.
