Tiles or ASCII?
Ashannar:
Both. Tiles are much more bearable once you alter the configuration file to make them twice as small.
Zoli:
Tiles for me. I love the original Doom graphics. And I'm playing with mouse.
White Rider:
Tiles. But now that I can play Crawl kinda-sorta competently without a mouse I might try DoomRL in ASCII.
dougjoe2e:
ASCII. Like others have commented, I like being able to see the whole map at once. i tried the tile mode a few times (and again, as others have said the tiles are well done) and it just didn't click for me for some reason.
And, as a side note, I like the availability of the low-quality download too... the difference between 100 MB and 5 MB is a big deal for my crappy internet connection.
Yholl:
Tiles. A picture is worth a thousand letters, I guess. Is that a Cacodemon? Yes. Also, does ASCII even have entities shifting from one tile to another when they move, or do they just blink there instantly? Smooth movement helps identify things threats even more. ASCII is offputting for me because my brain needs to do the extra work of identifying that letter/symbol and remembering what it's even supposed to be, instead of just looking at the graphic of a Cacodemon.
