About this game

Revengate is a Rogue-like dungeon crawler RPG set in a steampunk universe full of Victorian technology and magic.

Explore an alternate mid-19th century Lyon as an investigator for the mysterious Lux Co. organization. Meet locals and investigate mysteries through role-playing and dungeon exploration. With quirky items like the potion of absinthe and the potion of analysis-paralysis, you will have to apply novel strategies and tactics to overcome your challenges.

The game takes a lot of inspiration from Nethack and other traditional roguelikes while keeping actions simple to make the controls more mobile-friendly. The control scheme borrows a lot ideas from the excellent UI in Pixel Dungeon and its Shattered Pixel variant.

This free and open source game is made with the Godot Game Engine. Revengate has no ads, no micro transactions, and can be played offline.

Ratings and reviews

Fun little game and everything is as it's described, small indie roguelike still pretty early in development. The main thing I can compare it to is shattered pixel dungeon because mechanic-wise they are very similar but where this game falls short in UI and art it makes up for with personality and depth. At first the letters as entities is discomforting but after playing for a while it grows on you, very clever!

Controls were not working at all. I touched everything thinking I don't understand this game. Came back here, found itch link. Played in web browser and it works just fine in web browser.

Cool game, I really love medieval-like games, like Heroes. Also I'd like to see some characters :)
