Reviews

“Sure, the ASCII art is cool, but I'm pretty into what the game seems to be doing with its RPG mechanics, too.”
PC Gamer

“Effulgence RPG is an ASCII-based party RPG that has visuals that remind me of both Dwarf Fortress and Geometry Wars at the same time, except it's an RPG.”
The Escapist

“It looks like nothing else I've seen before, it really is quite impressively made.”

About This Game

A WORLD MADE OF CHARACTERS

Everything you see in Effulgence RPG is built from text characters arranged into 3D forms. Landscapes, creatures, machines and effects come to life as these forms move, rotate and transform throughout a strange sci-fi world.

ENEMIES ARE THE RESOURCE

Defeated enemies break apart into particles. Collect them and use the matter printer to create new weapons and equipment. You can even print during battle, turning fallen enemies into tools for the fights ahead.

FIGHT AS A PARTY

Control four heroes in tactical turn-based battles, each with their own strengths and abilities. Upgrade their skills, combine weapons, cartridges and mechanisms, and adapt to enemies and bosses with their own rules and mechanics.

A COMPACT RPG ADVENTURE

Effulgence RPG is a focused adventure that doesn't demand a hundred-hour commitment. A typical playthrough takes around 5–7 hours, with varied locations, story encounters, secrets and bosses along the way.

  • Three types of mini-games woven into the adventure

  • Deploy unusual mechanisms, from a combat sparrow to a flamethrower copter

  • Bosses built around unique mechanics

  • Dozens of blueprints for printable weapons, gear, and mechanisms
