Our take on 克苏鲁异闻录
Sanity management is the defining constraint: investigation and accumulated knowledge can increase understanding while bringing the characters closer to madness, all within randomized levels built around twin-stick combat.
What is 克苏鲁异闻录?
This roguelike action adventure uses a Lovecraftian setting and randomly generated levels.
Players choose from five characters, with four available during early access, each offering different attributes, weapons, combat actions, and storylines. Exploration combines clues, information gathering, branching choices, encounters with NPCs, and battles against cultists, monsters, and ancient gods. Sanity changes according to player decisions and knowledge, creating a balance between investigation and combat. The game uses a top-down twin-stick shooting system, 12 randomized levels, five special levels, more than 50 monsters, over 30 weapons, and hundreds of items and artifacts. Money and intellect form a two-currency system for character customization.
