Description

Katabatia is a classic style roguelike for Commodore 64. Decend 20 floors to recover the Amulet of Yendor and return with it.

Features

  • Three classes, with four gods to worship. Sacrifice gold to improve a deity-specific stat.
  • Three endings.
  • Full joystick control, using menus for inventory interaction, etc.
  • Spells, Potions, and special weapons and armor.
  • Pour potions over equipment to change their magical abilities.
  • Switch between animated, graphical tiles, or static text-mode graphics.
  • SID soundtrack or sound effects.

Notes

Joystick control is limited to 4 directions. With only one button to work with, you must hold the button to enter the menu. A button tap causes a turn to pass. The game does not delete saves on death (which is impossible to do on a tape drive, without the user rewinding to the beginning of the file), but it does count how many times a game has been loaded, so it will know when someone has beaten the game in one sitting.
