Players will go through a series of dungeon floors while defeating waves of enemies until they eventually reach the floor boss, which once defeated will allow them to proceed to the next level. So yes, contrary to many other roguelites and dungeon crawlers, Ziggurat 2 does have a storyline, even if it’s one that is merely based on exposition through 2D cutscenes.ĭespite some shifts in design, Ziggurat 2 is still a roguelite FPS at its core.

In Ziggurat 2, you play as a group of mages whose goal is to rebuild the Ziggurat, and so you embark on a quest to gather support and whatever else is necessary to accomplish that objective. Unfortunately, a civil war between the mages broke out and due to the ensuing maelstrom, the Ziggurat was damaged and its prisoners managed to flee and are now terrorizing the land.
#Ziggurat 2 game trial#
The Ziggurat was a prison that housed many monsters and creatures who couldn’t be killed, but it also served as the final trial for any mages of the land that aspired to join the Brotherhood. With that in mind, I dove into the current Early Access version Ziggurat 2 hoping to see something new and exciting, something that would grab my attention for more than just a few hours. It was recommended to me by a friend, I gave it a shot and although I liked it, I put it aside after just a few hours. In any case, while I did play the first game, I don’t think it would be fair to say that I really got to know it. I’m pretty sure that the original, released way back in 2014, was one of the first FPS roguelites/dungeon crawlers to be released on Steam, but nowadays there are many more. I don’t remember exactly when, but sometime during last week, as I was browsing Steam like I tend to do, to see if I find any game worth checking out, I stumbled upon Ziggurat 2 in the upcoming section.
