About Ziggurat
Blast through randomly-generated dungeons as a wizard using fast-paced FPS combat combined with roguelike progression and diverse magical weapons. Every run is unique thanks to procedural level design and impactful perks that fundamentally change your playstyle, making skill and strategy matter more than grinding or luck.
Become a neophyte sorcerer, and get ready for your rite of passage: Enter the labyrinth and face dangerous challenges to prove your worth and become a powerful wizard!
The game focuses on fast-paced first person shooting, with an old-school vibe, and updated handling and game mechanics. Dungeon crawling and RPG/Roguelike elements are added into the mix, resulting in a fun, challenging and varied game, with lots of content to discover.
Fight almighty bosses, get through rooms filled with traps, and treasures that may help you in your journey... Each game is a whole new experience!
Unlike most Rogue-thingies, on Ziggurat your combat skills will be the most important asset to keep advancing. Leveling up and randomly generated content is there to improve variety and make each game different, not to make the game a roll dice or an unbearable grind.
Most perks are designed to change the way you have to play or the weapons you'll want to use. Do you want more speed in exchange for less health, or maybe is better to have mana regeneration? Increase drop rate, or refill ammo here and now? No number game here, simple and direct choices.
We've also ensured that, as a proper FPS game, the experience is quick and direct. There's no inventory to manage or the need to compare two almost equal item drops, just weapon selection, and mana/health are usually the bargaining chip.
A whole arsenal of magic and alchemic weapons will be at your disposal. Wreak havoc among your enemies, but watch your mana reserves or you might regret it later!
Magic staves, spellbooks, magic wands... dozens of weapons with different attack strategies that help keeping the game fresh!

I wanted to like this but the lack of progression combined with the repetitiveness of the combat doesn't feel very good. I've done about 10 runs and they all feel the same, the amount of upgrades you get doesn't feel rewarding at all. I've read the sequel is much better so I may give that game a shot but skip this one.2 found this helpful
Roguelike Dungeon crawler with no build. You start from zero every time. meh1 found this helpful
What is level design? Could feel my neurons dying from the repetitiveness.
A very fun rogue-like with plenty of variation in character, weapons, traits, and enemies. You can find a playstyle that fits you no guarantee you'll get everything you want.
Don't want to fully recommend, but don't think it deserves a thumbs down. It's an alright game, that doesn't do anything egregiously wrong, but it get repetitive fast and the weapons and enemies do not feel great to use and fight respectively. Some of the rooms and spawns feel like bs at times. It's a game I'd put on while trying to listening to something in the background. Would just suggest on a sale or part of a cheap bundle.
Fun game that gives you a nice pacing of unlockable content as you complete runs. The weapons have a good variety even if the balance between them is hit or miss sometimes. Movement is smooth and floaty which works for the game. Was my go-to offline shooter game to just knock out some hours on.
