About Enlightenment

Enlightenment is an action-shooter Roguelike game with a unlinear narrative. Players will venture into a Wasteland-inspired dungeon known as the Ark and experience a risky journey plagued by crisis.

The original inhabitants of this dim underground complex and those who have dared to enter it have either died or have lost their mind. Will you be the exception to the rule?
"...the asteroid hit the Earth in the end anyways, and fxxked everybody up."

"So let's cut this short: An asteroid wiped out civilization as we know it. Some wasteland tramp discovered that the asteroid shards grant possessors unexplained powers; so they founded this cult, calling it the 'Scientific Church of Enlightenment' and this 'Church of Enlightenment' built the Ark and they built a whole city around it. It's gonna be where the restoration of humanity starts, they said. But just look around you; these streets are all empty, not a soul to be seen at all now."

"Sounds worthy of your life to have a look... right?"
  • Procedurally-generated Dungeons - In the underground complex of The Ark, use the environment to your advantage as you fight against enemies in challenging scenarios that change every time you enter the game.
  • Unlockable Weapons and Items - As you return to the starting camp after death, talk to the different merchant to purchase potent unlockables like new guns and other consumables to help you on your next journey.
  • Difficulty and Hardcore Play - In the beginning you may die a lot, maybe even "a lot" a lot. Just give Enlightenment and yourself a bit more time and patience and everything's going to be alright.
  • Smooth, Fast-paced Fighting Experience - As you get through the game, the fluidly-animated action and sense of accomplishment from overcoming what's thrown to you will provide a rewarding experience. Stay wary though, as there are a lot surprises!
  • Weird, Post-Apocalyptic Story - In Enlightenment, you will obtain scattered information about the world constantly. These jigsaw pieces are hidden in item descriptions, the environment, and through NPC interactions which eventually form a "Big Picture" look about the end of the world and the society, culture, and religion that it left behind.
LizardKing is founded in 2015, we are 7 seasoned fervent gamers and work in a small city alongside Yangtze River, on top of the pursuit of perfection, we are also into both exploring the possibility of game-making.

Amazing. Only little thing: the infos lock the way of your directional movement with the mouse.

Enlightenment, developed and published by LizardKing, is a top-down action roguelike that merges twin-stick shooting with procedural dungeon crawling and a grim post-apocalyptic narrative framework. Set in the aftermath of a catastrophic asteroid impact that shattered civilization, the game places players inside a sprawling underground complex known as the Ark. This labyrinthine structure, built and governed by a mysterious cult-like organization, becomes both the primary battleground and the narrative centerpiece. While Enlightenment does not present its story through cinematic cutscenes or heavy exposition, it weaves lore into environmental design, item descriptions, and scattered dialogue, encouraging players to piece together its world through exploration and repeated attempts. The core gameplay revolves around fast-paced twin-stick combat viewed from an isometric perspective. Players must navigate procedurally generated floors filled with hostile enemies, traps, and loot. Movement and aiming are handled independently, creating a fluid combat system that demands precision and spatial awareness. Enemies often attack from multiple angles, requiring quick reflexes and strategic p…

Bought this game when it was on sale for only a dollar and I still feel like I paid too much. The first boss will practically insta kill you if you make even a single mistake

Completed a run once and haven't come back to it since. It's alright but I don't think it'd be worth it to many.

This is a good "my first game" or working prototype for something that would be coming out down the line. Everything is about this feels amateur, and I don't mean that in a negative way, the concept art, the textures, game play, need a polish I am sure the team has considering how old this game is and how long it has been sitting in my library. I wish them the best but not recommend gamer spend their money.

Controller input issue STILL isn't fixed. This game looks like a lot of fun, but the inputs reset to default (keyboard) every time you go into a new room. What a shame.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
