Steampunk Dungeon Crawler ‘Vaporum’ Coming to Console

Fatbot Games and Merge Games are pleased to announce the unique steampunk dungeon crawler Vaporum is on its way to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Arriving April 9th through to the 11th 2019, depending on platform, Vaporum is an award-winning grid-based, single-player dungeon crawler game that uses a first-person perspective in an original steampunk setting.

Prepare to fight, because enemies come at you from all directions. Each type has its own strengths, weaknesses, and attack and defense patterns, so you’ll need different tactics to take them down. Gear choices matter too. Weapons vary not just in damage and appearance, but in the unique bonuses or behaviors they bring to the table.

The gadget-based RPG system gives you a wide range of skills to draw on: direct attacks, area attacks, offensive and defensive buffs, and more. They’re powerful, but they drain your energy, so use them wisely. Some enemies are immune to certain attack types entirely, which means figuring out the right approach for every encounter the game throws at you.

Solve intriguing puzzles and level-wide objectives where you will need to use both your wits and reflexes. While most riddles are contained in a single room, progression objectives can span entire levels, or even multiple ones.

Rather than levelling up a human character, you’re improving an exoskeleton. Equip it with various items and shape your own playstyle. Your loadout can change at any time, letting you adapt to unexpected situations as they come. The exo-rig grows stronger by absorbing fumium from defeated enemies, unlocking useful areas that grant permanent attribute bonuses and passive skills. In short: expect tonnes of customization.

The game is inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series and the more recent Legend of Grimrock I and II.
