Zigdig

Gameplay is as simple and standard for a survivor game as you would expect. You only need to worry about movement while auto aim and firing take care of anything that comes near you. However, there is no experience to collect or level up system that lets you choose perks or upgrades. Instead, you gain random upgrades by collecting green power ups. These upgrades can improve all kinds of things, such as increasing damage, adding more projectiles to your main weapon, or increasing your pickup range. You can also find new weapons, but they generally come from large chests that are rewarded for defeating various bosses that appear every few minutes. There is also a red power up, which you generally want to ignore because picking it up increases enemy strength. However, stronger enemies also increase your overall score, which leads to new perks and weapons being unlocked after the end of a run. Of course, you need to earn enough points to fill the upgrade bar, and each full bar unlocks something new. The amount of points you earn never goes away and continues to stack across all runs. Everything you unlock then has a chance of appearing in future runs. Enemies also drop coins, which …

To Start ZigDig is an addictive game similar to early vampire survivors, you move, you have auto attack and a time limit. At the end of a run (30 min timer) you get upgrades and new weapons acquired from XP during the run. You jump back in and take on the hordes of enemies again with your new upgrades making the game slightly easier as you progress. You gain upgrades during the run and opportunity to gain new weapon unlocks and upgrades just like other survivor like games. Its abit of a Grind (at time of writing) for the major unlocks like gathering 20 relics per level to unlock the max Bonus. You do unlock new levels with just finding a few relics though. I'm Sure there is some secrets i still have to find like if you dig too much or go over 30 mins you will get jumped by the bosses which is fine when you find the way to get OP which you can with the right weapon combo. Weapons! yes there is a ♥♥♥♥ ton you can unlock and finding the right combos works well. things to improve: Slight UI changes maybe a description for the weapons/unlocks so you know what you got. .which I'm sure will be added. in game Bonus could last longer e.g 10 secs for a sale is too short maybe a mi…

I didn't expect much going into Zigdig (the key art put me off a little) but I was pleasantly surprised. Each level you have to collect a relic + enough wood & ore to fix your ship - and there's a time limit. Weapons are weird & the random nature of upgrades introduces just the right amount of chaos. The environment attacks you. Quirky take on the genre. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/ Want more honest niche & indie reviews?

A very addictive and enjoyable game. I like the fact that you can choose your own way to upgrade and that you can finish the level when you want and that they don't end when you kill the relic boss.

Really fun game. Tough to begin with but unlocks feel like they make a huge difference to the game as you go on. Love digging for more knowledge after defeating the relic boss and pushing my luck!

Way more addictive than I expected. Really fun game with a surprisingly satisfying progression loop :)
