Discover a world where ancient Egypt has evolved beyond expectations, merging history, mythology, and advanced sci-fi technology. Play as fictional character Emily Sands, a daring explorer who mysteriously vanished while searching for the temple of Osiris in 1926. Cursed and stripped of humanity, you’ll navigate through intricately hand-crafted trap corridors, each presenting a unique challenge that demands diverse skills, precise timing, and adaptable strategies.

Where skill is more than a mere recommendation – it’s a critical necessity.

Familiar yet ever-evolving, our dungeons are built from a vast array of carefully crafted scenes. Each scene is detailed, featuring landmarks that stand out in the ever-changing layouts. Journey through various corridors and arenas, memorize their unique features and master the environment as well as the combat. This design ensures every run is familiar yet surprisingly new, offering a distinct adventure each time.
Within the depths of the dungeon, not only do enemies pose a threat, but the very halls themselves also test your courage. Many cunning traps lie in wait, ready to snare the unwary. You can either embark on dangerous paths filled with hidden treasures or choose the relative peace of safer alternatives. The power of choice, rich with potential fates, is yours to wield.

Gostei do jogo, achei o grafico otimo pro estilo de jogo e tambem a musica, as dungeons sao beem criadas, mas o sistema de ataques, combos, medalhoes e glifos um pouco confuso. Se dedicando bem ao jogo voce acaba pegando as tecnicas para progredir melhor. Se morrer perde itens. Pode conferir minha primeira hora em https://youtu.be/FMm2yfIt0Jo e dizer o que achou Joguei um bom tempo achando que nao tinha traducao mas so depois achei no canto superior direito um icone para traduzir o jogo. Seria legal mudar de lugar e incluir isso nos menus de configuracoes
The Book of Aaru es mucho más que un roguelite; es una experiencia visceral y dura que reinterpreta la mitología egipcia a su manera, con toques de ciencia ficción y con una maestría táctica y audiovisual que te deja sin aliento. Un desafío que te mantiene pegada a la pantalla, con una estética brutal y una jugabilidad realmente adictiva.

The Book of Aaru – Egyptské mýty v sci-fi háve The Book of Aaru od českého Amenti Studio je unikátnym mixom egyptských mýtov, sci-fi a roguelite mechaník. Hra ponúka náročný a atmosférický zážitok, ktorý vás pohltí svojím vizuálom, ale aj frustráciami spojenými s ovládaním a vyvážením obtiažnosti. Hráč sa ujíma postavy Emily Sands, dobrodružnej bádateľky, ktorá sa ocitá v technologicko-mystickom podsvetí. Príbeh sa nevykladá explicitne, no prostredie, plné pascí a démonických bytostí, vytvára fascinujúcu atmosféru. Hra sa zameriava na dynamicky generované úrovne a kombinuje akčné súboje s možnosťami spomalenia času, úskokov a vylepšovania zbraní cez glyfy a medailóny. Vývoj postavy v rámci aktívnej meta-progresie ponúka hlboký zážitok, no môže byť frustrujúci, keď sa spravia nezvratné chyby. Ovládanie na klávesnici nie je najintuitívnejšie a nevyvážená obtiažnosť môže odradiť tých, ktorí hľadajú uvoľnenú zábavu. Grafika je príjemne retro s egyptským sci-fi vizuálom, ktorý pripomína tituly ako Titan Quest. Hudba inšpirovaná arabskými rytmami dokonale dopĺňa atmosféru. Hoci hra má ešte technické problémy (bugy, slabé UI), je zrejmé, že autori intenzívne pracujú na vylepšeniach. The Book of Aaru nie je dokonalý, ale ponúka nápadité herné mechaniky a originálny svet, ktorý môže fascinovať náročnejších hráčov. Pre indie scénu je to veľký krok, a aj keď hru možno odradí nie každý, jej potenciál je nepopierateľný. Verdikt: Skvelý začiatok pre českú indie scénu s množstvom nápadov, ktoré potrebujú ešte pár vylepšení. Hra je náročná, ale pre tých, ktorí hľadajú výzvu, sa môže stať neodolateľnou.
The Book of Aaru has a lot of potential and a gorgeous visual identity. The Ancient Egypt-inspired sci-fi aesthetic is slick, and I really like the idea of weapon sets that completely reshape your abilities. Combat is challenging, and the time-slow mechanic gives it some style. That said, this is a cautious thumbs up at best. Parrying feels off even after recent patches, dimensional portals can kill you for unclear reasons, and several bugs (like softlocks or broken run tracking) need attention. The UI is clunky, and content is a bit thin for a full release. I don’t recommend buying it at full price just yet, but if you’re a roguelite fan with patience for early rough edges, there’s a good chance you’ll find something enjoyable here—especially with future updates. 👉 Read the full review at TrueScore Gaming: https://truescoregaming.com/the-book-of-aaru-review
[quote] 在刚进行新手教程的时候,本作的动作系统让我想起了《无间冥寺》。那熟悉的感觉还有那体力点的限制,真的很像。不过本作和《无间冥寺》还是有些区别的。首先是选择武器方面,本座只能使用固定的三套武器作为开局。而且除了一开始新手造成选择的武器以外,另外两套武器想要使用的话,需要在后续关卡中打出材料来建造。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3496743969 好的说到武器我就再说说游戏的战斗系统。首先是对玩家的限制——体力点。在游戏中连续轻攻击第三下会释放一个比较强的轻攻击,会消耗一点体力点;使用重攻击会消耗一点体力点;闪避会消耗一点体力点。重攻击和闪避消耗体力点是司空见惯的。但是本作的轻攻击消耗体力点是真的让我感觉有点难受。首先游戏中大部分伤害都是清空最大的。而且攻击的时候要配合闪避使用,这就导致我有时候轻攻击打着打着把体力点消耗光了,无法使用闪避从而被打。还有就是游戏内的打击感不是特别好。我在一开始用键盘游玩的时候,也没注意到有自动瞄准,攻击就经常落空,游戏体验真的很一般,与此相对的重攻击就因为需要蓄力,好瞄准,攻击范围大等特点让我前期更喜欢使用。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3496743935 游戏难度方面怪物倒不是很难,陷阱就比较恶心了。我好多次没有注意到陷阱被白白消耗血量,而游戏中的血量补充方法又比较少,搞得我好几次打怪无伤却被陷阱差点搞死。 boss方面我也就打过了一个boss,是狗头人旁边那个关卡的boss。主要靠风筝让他打灯笼里的火,灯笼被boss击中后,里面的火焰会释放出来对boss造成伤害。 游戏局外的成长需要在局内通过破坏场景打怪收集材料,然后用祝福的方式将其带回去。但是相比较局外成长需要的数值,局内打到的材料太少了,可能打通一次带回去的材料还不够局外点一次的。而且如果局内死了,基本带不回去什么东西。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3496743828 [code]欢迎关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45467420/]琴音社[/url] 让我们听见游戏的每一个音符♪~[/code][/quote]
[h1][b]深入地下城,感受古埃及的奇幻壮丽与危机四伏[/b][/h1] 《The Book of Aaru》是一款具有奇幻色彩的Rogue动作游戏,玩家将扮演神似埃及法老的主角,穿梭于古老的遗迹中,在层出不穷的敌人和陷阱夹击下生还。 本作为俯视角动作Rogue,设计上借鉴了大火的《哈迪斯》和个人非常喜欢的硬核Rogue《无间冥寺》。 角色可使用多种武器,如盾牌、权杖等,每种武器都有不同的攻击模组,其中包含近战攻击远程攻击以及对应的强化版本,如果混搭普通攻击和强化攻击还能施展出更为强大的终结技。 游戏整体难度较高,系统提供了闪避、弹反、慢动作等动作和机制帮助玩家作战。 本作的构筑也比较特殊,获得战利品后可选择将其转化为技能还是符文,随后可任意选择现有槽位并放入,放入部分契合的位置还能获得额外加成。 游玩下来,本作的动作手感其实比较一般,但胜在远程攻击手长和较为不错的输出频率,玩起来倒也没那么差。 相比于敌人,场景和陷阱的难度显然更大一点,什么尖刺、火球、激光、齿轮等统统齐上阵,配合上浓浓的古埃及风,气氛非常到位。 整体来说优缺点都比较明显的一部游戏,框架不错手感欠佳,朝着这个方向优化打磨的话会是款不错的Rogue游戏。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
4/10
Ačkoliv hra vypadá na první pohled vcelku sympaticky nejde přehlédnout určité technické problémy. A taky fakt, že minimální / doporučovaná sestava, na základě kterých jsem hru pořídil, moc neodpovídá realitě, anebo jsem možná jen shodou okolností narazil na dvě odlišné sestavy lepší než uvedené na kterých hra běhá jen velice bídně. Stejně tak v popisu uvedené české titulky se mi nikde nepovedlo zprovoznit, a jsou tam vůbec? Chápu, že je to jen malá hra, ale čekal bych, že když vyšla v květnu tak po vánocích už bude trochu odladěná. Prozatím palec dolů a uvidíme až vyjde nějaký patch.
Прикольно, потом вернусь
I have played a lot of roguelikes and this one was brutal (in a good way)! It has similar mechanics to Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods. A little rough around the edges, but recent updates has brought a lot of quality of life improvements. Worth playing if you enjoy roguelikes
