Crossfire is a free and open-source cooperative multiplayer graphical RPG and adventure game. Set in a medieval fantasy world, it stands out by combining real-time action with traditional role-playing mechanics inspired by games such as Gauntlet, NetHack, Moria, and Angband. Players can choose from 14 races and 16 character classes, develop skills and magic, worship a pantheon of gods, complete quests, discover powerful artifacts, and explore thousands of interconnected maps filled with monsters, dungeons, cities, and adventures. Crossfire has been continuously developed since 1992 and remains an actively maintained community project.
