"Autologic" dungeon crawler 'Dungeon Automata' gets new trailer and demo
Dungeon Automata is an upcoming dungeon crawler game from developer Medium-Rare Games, and it packs a twist to the genre. The developers term it as an "autologic" whereby players visually script their party to progress across the in-game labyrinth. Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and Japan-based publisher Kakehashi Games announced their co-partnership with Medium-Rare Games to publish Dungeon Automata, and aired a new trailer to accompany the announcement:
Key Features in Dungeon Automata include:
- The world of Syntaxia is in peril - Monsters have emerged alongside The Tower of Corruption, threatening the way of humanity. Pushed to stop whatever evil resides within, players must turn to their alchemy - synthesizing a powerful party of golems and programming them to autonomously challenge the complex labyrinth leading to the tower’s summit.
- Decode the Dungeon - Each handcrafted level of the tower presents a unique set of challenges. Program blueprints to handle all kinds of cases and situations: from traps to bosses. Once the golems are sent into the dungeon to automatically explore, all players can do is watch, and repeat again and again to decipher the challenge.
- Find improvements and enhancements - Find catalysts to increase the golems’ physical abilities and nodes that allow for new action or targeting logic, and customize parties by creating unique golems with the parts found throughout.
- Much more than monochrome - The world of Dungeon Automata is an expressive fantasy world with beautifully handcrafted 8-bit pixel art. Accompanying the incredibly striking visuals is a powerful soundtrack by none other than the legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro, known for his true Genesis synth style.
