Ampersat is a shooty, slashy, RPG-y game mixing old-school/retro and modern sensibilities. A blend of influences from Gauntlet and Smash TV to Zelda and a dash of Angband, this is a handcrafted adventure with much appeal to fans of Roguelites. A labor of love from a solo developer, Ampersat distills some favorite childhood gaming experiences into a fresh, fun hybrid that sees you killing a lot of monsters, finding a lot of loot, freeing captured letters (um, what?) and growing from a world-weary warrior mage into a powerful smashing/blasting machine!
Main Features
50 handcrafted levels, many with exploration and light puzzles
Optional endless procedural area
Original gameplay elements based around freeing and capturing letters
Flexible character progression with extensive skill tree
Hundreds of unique pieces of loot to find, buy, sell and augment
Upgradeable town hub
