Game Overview:
Ampersat is a unique fusion of action, RPG, and roguelite elements that brings a nostalgic yet fresh twist to the gaming scene. Developed by a solo developer at Gaterooze Ink, this game is a labor of love, blending influences from classic games like Gauntlet, Smash TV, Zelda, and Angband into a handcrafted adventure.
Gameplay Features:
Handcrafted Levels with a Roguelike Twist: Explore over 50 meticulously designed levels, each offering exploration and light puzzles. While the main game features these crafted areas, there’s also an endless procedural area for those who crave the roguelite experience.
ASCII Character Aesthetics: The main character and enemies in Ampersat are represented by ASCII letters, harking back to the aesthetics of original rogue games like Moria and Angband. This unique visual style is blended with vibrant, colorful 3D top-down environments for a distinctive look.
Combat and Progression: Engage in shooty, slashy combat where you’ll battle ASCII creatures, freeing captured letters to restore language to the village of Gentlheim. With a flexible character progression system featuring an extensive skill tree, you’ll grow from a weary mage-warrior into a formidable force.
Loot and Economy: Discover, buy, sell, and augment hundreds of unique pieces of loot. The game includes shops, an Inn for healing and leveling up, and a deep Well leading to randomly generated levels where you can gather resources.
Upgradeable Village: Gentlheim serves as your hub where you can upgrade various structures to improve your capabilities as language is restored to the village.
Co-op Play: Enjoy true drop-in, drop-out asynchronous co-op. The second player controls a fairy that assists you by hovering around and attacking enemies. Beware, though; this fairy might just steal your best spells if you’re not careful!
Story: The village of Gentlheim has been invaded by Lord Z, who has not only surrounded the area with five extraplanar towers and dungeons but has also stolen the language from its people. As Ampersat, the warrior mage, your quest is to defeat minions, restore language, and ultimately vanquish Lord Z.
Atmospheric Experience:
Sound and Music: Ampersat employs Commodore 64 SID chip sound effects alongside real-world music to create an engaging auditory experience that complements its retro-modern visual design.
Exploration and Puzzles: Each level in Ampersat offers opportunities for exploration, with hidden secrets and light puzzles that encourage players to delve deeper into the world.
