=== What is IVAN? ===
=== What is a roguelike ? ===
* '''Bodypart system'''. Remember Monty Python and the Holy Grail? All bodyparts in IVAN have separate armors and separate hit points. After you’ve found your first good weapons, you will be able to reduce some monsters to helpless torsos by mutilating them frivolously! The game rewards brutality by showing its results graphically. Brutality can also be applied to you, though, so it’s best to have a remedy available in case of a lost limb.
=== Who or what is an ''ommel''? ===
Some rumors say that the ''ommel'' is so powerful that it can easily squash Elpuri down with just a foot and doesn't even notice that, and some says it resembles to an enormous cammel or a huge donkey, but they are just rumors.
