About TAURONOS
Trapped inside an ancient labyrinth, chased by the mythical Minotaur. Will you reach the center? And if so, what will you discover about yourself there, in the dark? But it is the unbeatable Minotaur. Only by exploring the maze of the Labyrinth can you hope to discover how to defeat this immortal monster. The great maze has many tools, many rewards, and many secrets just waiting for you to find them. But you can’t waste your precious time, for the Minotaur is getting ever closer.The game is inspired by the Greek myth of the labyrinth and the fight between Theseus and the Minotaur. The dark theme is visually expressed by retro pixel art, enriched by voice acting and metaphorical storytelling, creating (we hope) a thrilling atmosphere. The journey has 6 chapters - each with its own specific challenges, patterns, and rewards. A total of 42 stages, 5 skill upgrades - each with 3 levels, 3 hidden upgrades, 2 unique upgrades, secret passages and Easter eggs. And, why not ? a custom map editor that will challenge your creativity (and patience), where you can unlock more content based on your progress in the main story.This game is not a rogue-like dungeon crawler, but rather an experience which will ultimately give you the answer to the question: dare you know yourself? Of course, you can simply see it as a guilty pleasure arcade game, just take note: permadeath is unforgiving.

Making badges on steam can be worth it sometimes. In this case, I got a 50% coupon for Tauronos. It’s appealing to give such a game a try when it costs me €2,50 and it seems to have its priorities straight. I can say with confidence that the game has been worth it after spending 6.7 hours on it. The game is mostly a mix of exploration, survival, health/stamina management and being chased by a monster in some stages. You have a light around you that lets you see your direct surroundings but the rest of the stage is dark. You have to be careful of traps or you need to avoid getting lost in a maze. Clearing rubbles takes time and running costs stamina. You can become stronger when you find upgrades for your stats (armour, stamina, interaction time, strength of light and movement speed). There are 6 chapters with each one having between 5 and 8 stages. The game also has secrets where you can find extra lives, health regen, unlocks for a map editor etc. There are different difficulty modes with easy allowing you to continue after losing your lives. But you will have to start from the beginning of a chapter. Game auto saves when you clear a stage. The most important aspect the game g…4 found this helpful
Love the dungeon vibe and the general design idea! Pretty tough too, so beware!4 found this helpful
There is a bug on the level "A Clear Way Forward" where you play as the minotaur. The human gets stuck on a patch of water and starts spasming around until he eventually glitches through the wall, therefore you can't kill him or be killed by him. I've lost 2 lives for no reason because of this. The only way to not have it happen is to get him fast enough just before he glitches past the wall, which took 2 tries (aka, my 2 lives wasted). This shouldn't be a thing, this can ruin someone's playthrough.2 found this helpful
Tauronos is a top-view survival horror game where you are trapped in an ancient labyrinth and must find a way to escape. This task is complicated because you will be chased by a Minotaur and need to be careful to avoid dangerous traps. The game consists of six chapters, each with multiple levels. In some levels, you can find upgrades that increase your stats and even secret developer rooms. If you die, you will need to start the chapter from the beginning unless you have found an extra life before. Some level names give you hints about the level. All in-game dialogues are voiced. The game has three difficulty levels and a map editor where you can create your own levels. The controls are simple and straightforward. The only downside I find is that after finishing the game, you can't replay specific chapter or level. Overall, it's a pretty good, underrated game with a nice price.

Tauronos is an indie game that combines elements from the adventure, survival horror and puzzle genres. In it, you play as a Greek warrior descending into the depths of an underground complex where a hostile minotaur is lurking. Also, facing the minotaur may or may not have a symbolic significance...? The gameplay is generally slow-paced dungeon crawling from a top-down perspective. You move around labyrinthine corridors, try to avoid traps through patient observation, clear rocky obstacles and pick up upgrades which will boost some of your stats, such as movement speed, torch power and defense. The minotaur is also present in some levels, slowly but surely moving towards your location like a heat-seeking missile. Given enough time, the minotaur's speed and aggression increases, until eventually it's impossible to avoid. The only way to slow down the minotaur is to close the hatch from where it spawns; other than that, you just have to keep moving and think on your feet. The game's basic formula is pretty simple, but the developers have squeezed everything out of it to keep things interesting for the game's six chapters. It doesn't take long until the game starts playing some mi…1 found this helpful
