Our take on ZANZIBART
The focus on simple, fast combat gives up the broader exploration and layered progression found in larger action RPGs. Its repeated stacking-item runs center on reaching the ending, leaving less room for systems outside combat, collection, and run advancement.
What is ZANZIBART?
Play as Myrmidon of Loss, whose master Zanzibart has been killed.
This simple roguelite centers on dodging bullets and large groups of enemies while defeating them quickly. Each run provides progress and items with effects that can stack without an indicated limit, building a collection over time as the journey continues toward its conclusion.
