Fatbot Games announced today, that their grid-based, single-player, single-character dungeon crawler game, Vaporum, is available now for PC on Steam.
Check out the launch trailer of Vaporum, featuring some gameplay footage:
“Dwelling on your past is inevitable, and yet, what good can come of it? The terrifying, mechanical tower is luring you in, and there is no doubt it will help you recover your memories. With nothing to lose you step inside to discover things you couldn’t even begin to imagine.
Vaporum is inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series, and the more recent Legend of Grimrock I and II.
The regular price is 19.99 USD / 19.99 EUR, but there’s a 10% discount to celebrate the game’s release! Find out if you have what it takes to survive the depths of the mysterious tower…
Prepare to fight – you’re going to come across many enemies along the way. Each of them has a distinctive set of strengths, weaknesses, offensive and defensive abilities, so you’ll have to employ different tactics to beat them. Choose wisely when equipping yourself with gear. Weapons differ from one another not only by damage levels and appearance, but also in their unique bonuses and behaviors.
Use a wide range of skills throughout the gadget-based RPG system: direct attacks, area attacks, offensive and defensive skills, and more. But be careful – they may be powerful, but they also drain your energy. And don’t forget, some enemies are immune to certain attacks, so you will have to figure out the best way to deal with every encounter the game throws at you.
Solve intriguing puzzles and level-wide objectives using both your wits and reflexes to advance through the game. While most riddles are contained within a single room, progression objectives can span entire levels, or even multiple ones.
Instead of increasing the abilities of your human character, you can upgrade your exoskeleton. Equip yourself with various items and define your own playstyle. Change your armor and weaponry at any time to adapt to the numerous unexpected situations. As your exoskeleton becomes more powerful by absorbing a special substance – fumium – from defeated enemies, you will be able to unlock useful areas of it, gaining significant permanent attribute bonuses and passive skills. Simply put – prepare for tons of customization.”
