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

Originally designed for a single-button 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. Version 1.1 added keyboard commands. The game does not delete saves on death, 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.
