Description

Unexplored is a action based roguelite developed by Ludomotion. It is heavily inspired on Brogue, but features realtime gameplay and brand new dungeon generation technology.

Gameplay

The basic premise of the game is to entire the Dungeon of Doom, defeat the Dragon at level 20, and escape back up with the Amulet of Yendor. The game has all trappings of a roguelike: dungeon crawling fun, unidentified potions and scrolls and perma-death. It is a roguelite because the gameplay is realtime and there is some minor carry over between runs: gold found in a run can be used to buy extra starting equipment on a next run.

The action based melee combat is unique for this game. You are able to equip two weapons. Or equip only one to wield it a higher effective strength. There are many combinations and different foes require different approaches.

The content generation creates relatively small levels, with many lock-and-key style puzzles. Locks and keys might be locks and keys, but the game also uses special gear such as a grappling hook or a staff of blinking to unlock new parts of the dungeon. Some of these puzzles span multiple dungeon floors.

Finally the game has a lot of feed-forward and foreshadowing, allowing you to prepare and plan ahead.

It is still in development, but the game is fully playable: all the core features are present. Projected release is in October/November 2016.
