About This Game

Forgotten Circuits is a pixel-art side-scrolling action RPG. Fight and explore a fallen island, then build a character by socketing circuit modules into shaped boards.

Story and goals

You are sent to evacuate people from the island. An engineer is still studying a machine, and the road east has been sealed. To go farther, activate beacons for fast travel or take a boat from the western dock toward the camp, town, and mechanical tower. Hostile machines, wildlife, and stronger foes block the way.

Action combat

Move, jump, and chain attacks through side-view areas. Combat includes attack combos, jump attacks, dash attacks, a draw strike, blocking, and a backstep. Some modules grant extra skills, such as Sword Dance. Hits knock enemies back. Shields and defense help you survive the counterattack.

Circuit builds

Modules do not work just by sitting in your pack. They must be socketed into a shaped circuit board. Slots restrict module types such as attack, defense, or support, and a module must connect along a powered trace. The board activates only when every slot is powered, adding that circuit's own bonus.

Boards include Offense, Defense, Support, Balance, Berserker, and a board that shares the game's name. Each board remembers its own sockets, and progress lets you switch to new layouts.

Loot and growth

Enemies and chests drop modules of different rarities, plus experience. Modules can change attack, defense, critical chance, attack speed, move speed, health, shields, life steal, extra jumps, or trigger effects on hit, kill, or damage taken. Levels raise your base stats. An engineer sells modules. Multiple save slots store your position, circuits, inventory, and progress. Beacons act as fast-travel and save points.
