Why play it

A shooty, slashy, RPG-y game mixing retro and modern sensibilities. A blend of influences from Gauntlet & Smash TV to Zelda & Angband, battle ASCII creatures in colorful areas & free letters to return language to the village.

Story and worldbuilding

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!

I'll admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for any game that describes itself, even in part, as a twin-stick roguelike, but being very aware of how accomplished the competition in the space is on Switch it can also make me tough to impress...
