Ziggurat 2 review upgrade#
This upgrade system is extremely customizable and allows the player to tailor it to their needs. You can increase the bonuses you get for everything be it, maximum health, elemental damage, experience increases and more. The skill tree applies to all of your characters and can provide them with a range of bonuses. Insight is what’s used to upgrade your skill tree.You’ll also be awarded with new perks that are gained when leveling up in a run and some of the game’s meta-currency “Insight”. After you’ve completed each floor of a dungeon you’ll be awarded with a new piece of equipment that’s added to the pool of items that can be found in a run.It’s almost like you’re starting to learn who these bosses are and each time you fight one is like fighting your old nemesis. Not to mention, being able to fight the bosses in multiple different runs gives them a sense of familiarity. That being said the bosses have enough differentiation among them so that they never feel old.Each boss is not unique, however and many of them will be repeat battles across each of your different runs. There are multiple different bosses that can be fought depending on the floor level. At the end of every floor to proceed to the next you’ll have to fight a boss.There are other room types as well such as challenge rooms that provide new equipment, healing fountains to replenish health, and shops to spend your gold on.In all seriousness the giant carrot monsters are actually very frightening. Some battles will pit you up against crossbow wielding goblins, and others against giant carrot monsters. While many of the room’s layouts are very similar the monster’s that spawn in waves are always different.The usual format for a room is that the door locks behind you and you can’t leave until you have vanquished every creature. Every room in the dungeon is procedurally generated which means you’ll never know exactly what to expect.To reach the next floor you’ll have to find the key to open the door, and the door to the next floor. Every floor has a certain number of rooms to explore.
Ziggurat 2 review series#
Each dungeon is divided into a series of rooms and floors.The dungeons range from volcanic lairs, to adbandoned mines and even floating castles. When you begin a run you’ll start in one of the game’s multiple dungeon types. The campaign mode will start you off with a brief tutorial outlining the game’s mechanics.If you’re a traditional roguelite fan, there’s also a classic mode and daily challenges you can play. As an important note Ziggurat 2’s main mode is the campaign mode with unlocks, permanent progression, and an overarching narrative.

Ziggurat 2 review full#
Now that I have spent some time with the full release of Ziggurat 2, I can honestly say, I’m really starting to love this genre.

That being said, I didn’t love the game enough to say that the genre had cemented a place in my heart going forward. It mixed gun variety with a deep permanent skill tree and many levels of difficulty. I played Gunfire Reborn for the first time about 6 months back at the request of my best friend and I really enjoyed it.
