About Cicadia

Cicadia is a sci-fi FPS roguelike that sends you delving deep into the temples of the Cicadians. An advanced alien species that spread their wretched bug spawn to the corners of the galaxy, chirping their awful tune, signaling their vast motherships.In this shooter game, you will explore the procedurally generated labyrinth of ancient handcrafted rooms. As you do you will have to fight countless swarms of mutated alien insects, gathering their bile as you do. Bile can be spent at upgrade terminals to genetically engineer yourself in real time, building a set of skills perfect for the items you happen to stumble upon in your journey of rooms and floor ever increasing in difficulty. As you explore the tombs of this buried galactic empire, you will retrieve Lore tablets, and once you complete your library you may be able to learn what happened to this ancient race, and why those Cicada calls go unanswered today.

Cicadia is a free first person roguelike shooter that has a pretty simple idea behind it. I am heading into the temples of an ancient alien species and fighting through swarms of mutated insects while trying to work out what happened to the civilisation that built the place. The setting is strange in a good way, because the game mixes dark science fiction with giant bugs and old alien ruins. I like that the game gives me something to be curious about while I am shooting everything in sight. The combat is the main reason I would keep coming back. The game is built around fighting large groups of alien insects, and I can collect Bile from them to improve my character during a run. I can use upgrade terminals to genetically modify myself and build skills around the weapons and items I find. I like this because it gives each run a little bit of its own identity. I am not just getting stronger in exactly the same way every time, because I have to work with what I actually find. The roguelike structure also fits the setting nicely. The labyrinths use procedurally generated layouts made from handcrafted rooms, while the floors become harder as I go deeper. That gives me a reason to lear…

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?
