Gameplay

Eco Ronin is a third person action-platformer roguelike with fast combat and vertical movement abilities. Grapple, jetpack, shoot, and slash through procedurally generated worlds in search of collectibles, bosses, and secret stages. 

Features

• Fast paced third person combat 

• Verticality (grapple, fast falling, jetpack gliding) 

• Inventory, consumables, resource management, crafting

• Collect-a-thon -- philosophy pages and other rare pickups to find

• Passive story telling and optional dialogue

Content

• Tutorial: Learn how to grapple, glide, swing your sword, shoot, use your inventory, etc. 

• Celestial Trial (Advanced Tutorial): Learn advanced mechanics such as using your grapple as a slingshot to launch you across the map. Rapidly retry platforming challenges similar to Celeste. Access the Celestial Trial by using your jetpack to get the tower at the far back end of the tutorial (near the tutorial completion portal!)

• Main Game: Progress through five procedurally generated floors by finding 3 crystals on each floor and unlocking the final door. 

• Boss Battle: Reach floor 5 to face the final boss. 

• Puzzle Dungeons: Each floor of the main dungeon has a unique puzzlebox-style dungeon reminiscent of the Zelda series. Navigate through the dungeon and solve the puzzles to be rewarded with an iceberg piece for an alternative ending.

• Trial of the Gods: Collect all iceberg pieces and defeat the final boss to gain access to the Trial of the Gods -- the most difficult and advanced section of the game. Defeat this section and you're an Eco Ronin god! 

• Infinite Mode: Explore a procedurally generated endless world in search of 32 diamonds (reminiscent of Minecraft!) to unlock a door for your final achievement! Put your platforming to the test to traverse the difficult biomes, and make sure you find safety before night falls. 

• Hardcore Mode: Repay the main dungeon but with increased time dilation (everything moves faster), buffed enemies, and permadeath. Find checkpoints to save! 

• Wave Arena: Located on floor 4 of the main dungeon. Put your skills to the test!

Note from the developer

Thanks for your interest in Eco Ronin! This game is very close to my heart. Making this game, I wanted to capture the magic of exploring endless worlds like in Minecraft, but more advanced gameplay and movement similar to something like Breath of the Wild. I am also a fan of sci-fi games like Metroid Prime, and thus Eco Ronin was born! 

It's not an easy game! The Tutorial and Celestial Trial are more linear and will guide you through learning the mechanics. But once you enter the main dungeon, it can get tricky to learn where to go and what to do! My advice: On each floor try to find the Exit House as soon as possible, there you will get access to the Scanner Arrow which will point you in the direction of the nearest crystal so you can find enough to open the exit door. 

Also, don't be afraid to steal from Pasqualdo's shop! He might look scary, but he is also hostile to other enemies if they are tricked into hitting him! Use the unbiased aggro of the enemies to your advantage! 

If you like this game, chances are you'll like my others too! Please check out Lost Temple Treasure and Running Robot Man 4. LTT is more story driven but with similar themes, and RRM4 is less story driven but with more fast gameplay and similar abilities!

Thanks!
