My thoughts on: Ziggurat; a review
Here’s my review of Ziggurat, a 2014 fantasy roguelite FPS by Milkstone Studios. I’ve been playing the version available on GOG.
If you’ve been wondering whether the game is worth playing… Here’s my answer.
Aesthetics
As I mentioned above, Ziggurat is a fantasy First Person Shooter. The “guns” here are magic staves, spellbooks and alchemical contraptions. The final ones are the only ones that actually resemble guns… sometimes. Some might be reminded of Heretic or Hexen, due that design choice.
As for the environments, there’s motly castle-like environments, with one looking more cave/canyon/mine like.
The enemies are also mostly a generic fantasy staple, with some skeletons, banshees, goblins, demons, running carrots, mushrooms, bulbous plants and bloodthristy flamingos and slimes. As well as several recolours of them. While there actually is rather decent variety of enemy models… they somehow feel repetitive.
Story
This game, I feel, follows what John Carmac once said about stories in video games.
Yes it’s there, serving as a thin and flimsy explanation for the action. But it’s a good enough explanation. The game technically has multiple endings, based on how many rooms were left uncleared: the bad ending, if you rushed through and skipped most rooms; the good one, when you cleared (almost) everything; and the “neutral” one where you cleared most rooms, but still left enough to not qualify for the good ending. They are pretty much inconsequential. There because having multiple endings is good, right?
There are some lore snippets that can be found as well… But I forgot what was in them by the time I left the room in which they were.
Gameplay
It’s a fantasy-themed First Person Shooter, I’d even say it’s a Boomer Shooter. With a roguelite twist, heavily reminiscent of Binding of Isaac.
A run consists of levels (floors) with randomly generated layout. Depending on the difficulty the amount of floors changes. Each of those floors has a secret room that gives a free perk, and has a screen and a paragraph of text talking about other games of the studio. And honestly? I cared more about those little tidbits than the lore scrolls.
Some of those rooms can have random modifiers, they range from neat but essentially meaningless, through kinda meh and ending up in the annoying and frustrating territory. Things like “everything gets pixelated” is the neat category… but honestly, there’s much more annoying ones, like invisible or respawning enemies.
As for the meat of the game, it’s pretty good. The movement and shooting feel really nice… unfortunately due to the lack of reactions from enemies… most of the guns feel flimsy and ineffective, even if they are anything but.
Speaking of weapons, you start with a wand (some characters also get a weapon). This is tied to character, but all essentially are a weak backup weapon with regenerating ammo mana. Other than that there’s 3 types: Spell, Staff and Alchemy, each type has it’s own mana pool and perks that affect only those. And, of course, you can only have 1 of each type.
Variety is a pain point for this game, there’s a lot of stuff… But most of it is locked. Unlike new characters, which have their unique requirements, perks and gear are unlocked randomly. On top of that to get a new gun you have to get far enough in a run, almost complete one, in fact.
So if you’re unlucky enough, you’ll get all the uninspired weapons first… Which might amount to well over a dozen hours. Or you might get the fun ones early on. One of my favourites is an Alchemic one: a cube that, once thrown, zaps the nearest enemy. Another fun one is a Spell that spawns a swarm of butterflies that home in on enemies.
Unfortunately a bulk of the weapons roughly act as different coloured shotguns (for spells) or rifles (for staves). Or that’s the impression I got. Sure they have some additional effects, like chance of freezing out poisoning the target… But must if the time it’s a bunch of sparks fired in a different pattern and we different rates depending on the weapon. Each weapon has an alternate mode, which is nice… But that mode is always terribly uninspired, which is disappointing. It’s either more sparks, more projectiles, higher damage or faster rate but less accurate.
Suma Summarum
All in all Ziggurat is a pretty decent Roguelite FPS. Though it’s painful to see many of its wasted potential. I’m giving it a 4-.
It’s decent. Maybe even good… But it also feels somewhat bland and at times irritating, especially when enemies spawn behind your back. And then pounce unseen. Or just are invisible, because why not.
Oh, the game does have achievements on GOG, if you care about that thing.

@DrewNaylor Three #WiiU titles that deserve more attention:
Chew Man Fu (Turbografx 16, Virtual Console) - a hidden gem, with unique gameplay.
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush: a colourful classic.
Swords and Soldiers - also available on Switch. Also works very well with the stylus and gamepad.
All should be available on the eshop.
[Corrected Swords and Soldiers Switch availability. As redemption, I'll mention two other great games that are on both WiiU and Switch - #Unepic and #Ziggurat.]

Wäre es ein Indie-Titel, wäre es ein sehr gutes Spiel für Casual-Gamer. So muss man leider sagen, dass es sich eher um ein Werk handelt, dass nur dem schnellen Geld dient. Es ist zwar grundsätzlich nichts verkehrt an dem Spiel, mehr erfahrt ihr im Test.

@raccoonformality For an FPS-RPG-Roguelite I'd highly recommend #Ziggurat.
I'm currently playing #TowerofGuns which is another FPS-Roguelite, with a curious Zen-like ambience.

In the original #Ziggurat we had each room variation as a different prefab, so one prefab per room, per theme. And we used a script that updated all the prefabs using the theme models. A real pain, I'm glad we improved the pipeline for the sequel.
