Our take on The Depths of Tolagal
The defining structure is the choice between a semi-structured apprentice rescue and an endless dungeon, with high scores available only on permadeath runs.
What is The Depths of Tolagal?
The Depths of Tolagal is a roguelike dungeon crawler focused on tactical combat.
The objective is to find a missing apprentice in the dungeons of Tolagal. Combat is action-point based, with abilities connected to different weapons. Procedurally generated levels contain varied monsters with distinct AI and loot to discover. Story mode presents a semi-structured attempt to rescue the apprentice, while Infinite mode places the search in an endless dungeon and records high scores. Permadeath is optional, although high scores are recorded only for permadeath runs. Journal entries found during each run reveal more about the dungeon and its inhabitants.
