About the Game

Catacomb is a hardcore, melee-focused FPS roguelike inspired by the greats of the early 2000's. Using only your wits, your blade, and over 40 unique artifacts, hack and slash your way back to the surface and earn your freedom.

COMBAT

Catacomb features 5 weapons, with more coming:

  • Shortsword - a basic but balanced melee option, able to parry enemy attacks

  • Dagger - Weak for direct combat, but backstabs make stealth viable

  • Crossbow - A ranged dominator with limited ammo

  • Greatsword - Devastating, sweeping blows but lost mobility

  • Tomahawks - Throwing axes that bounce off enemies and walls Coming soon!

Alongside these options, you can also punch, kick, stomp, and ram through enemies (with the right artifact, of course.)

EXPLORATION

Catacomb will feature 4 unique areas, each with their own loot pools and varied areas to traverse through.

Currently, Area 1 is complete:

  • THE CRYPT

The first step on your climb to the surface, and the darkest. Dingy, stone-brick halls, walls caving in on themselves, and crawling with ghouls and skeletons.

ARTIFACTS

Artifacts are the building blocks that shape your run: They can augment your body, give you new abilities, and some can even alter the world around you. Choose wisely; though, almost all of them have drawbacks.
