Players will control their character in first person as they engage in real-time combat against a variety of foes, each with strengths, weaknesses, attack, and defense mechanisms that will require different tactics to defeat. Each weapon will have a unique bonus and the exoskeleton rig you wear gives a bonus to different gadgets, whether it be for direct attacks, area attacks, and buffs. Certain enemies will have immunity to your abilities, ensuring the player cannot just mash their way through the game. In addition to combat players will also have to solve puzzles in order to progress through the dungeons. As you progress you won’t be leveling up your character but instead improving the exo-rig you wear by choosing between four types of rigs available. Different gadgets give you different abilities and can be swapped on the fly, while circuits are more permanent increases or passive skills to help you.
Developers Fatbot games draw heavy inspiration fromDungeon Master(1988),Eye of the Beholder(1991), and the more recentLegend of Grimrock(2012), all first person dungeon crawlers.
Vaporum is a grid-based dungeon crawler RPG in an original steampunk setting, inspired by old-school classics of the genre. Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, the hero has to find out what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who he is.
