About This Game

Revenge on the 13th Floor is a small, brutal top-down shooter inspired by DOS-era classics, ASCII graphics, arcade shoot 'em ups, gloriously over-the-top '80s action movies... and an unhealthy amount of profanity!

THEY TOOK YOUR DAUGHTER.
THEY TOLD YOU TO FORGET HER.
BIG MISTAKE!

Armed with a gun and a questionable sense of self-preservation, you'll fight your way through a building full of people who really, really don't want you reaching the 13th floor. Fight through Campaign, Endless, and Horde modes, then create your own carnage with the built-in level editor and Steam Workshop support. NO MERCY!

OLD-SCHOOL VIOLENCE.
OLD-SCHOOL GRAPHICS.

Forget fancy polygons and realistic lighting. Everything here is made of ASCII characters, a handful of retro colors, and a considerable amount of bad intentions. Underneath that deliberately primitive presentation is a fast-paced, bloody shooter where positioning, ammunition, and quick reactions make all the difference.

THIRTEEN FLOORS.
ONE WAY UP.
THE ELEVATOR IS WAITING.
LEAVE NO ONE STANDING.

• ASCII graphics — Retro computer aesthetics, a 16-color palette, and optional CRT effects.

• Procedural levels — Rooms, layouts, and enemy encounters that change between runs.

• One life — Die, and you're back at the beginning. No second chances. No savegames.

• Different weapons — Pistols, shotguns, automatic weapons, and a knife when things get desperate.

• Enemies that fight back — They'll patrol, investigate, pursue, and shoot. Sometimes they'll even hit each other.

• Limited ammunition — Make your shots count. Or find more bullets.

• A final confrontation — Someone is waiting at the top of the building.

• Level Editor  — Create, test, play and share your own custom campaigns, with up to 20 floors and four interconnected sections per floor. Compatible with Steam Workshop.

• Endless Mode — Survive the campaign to unlock an ongoing challenge.

• Horde Mode — Take them all down with you!

• Local Multiplayer — Revenge is better with a friend (or at least a little less lonely).

• Achievements — Because revenge alone isn't enough.

Made with love, ASCII, questionable programming, and absolutely terrible anger management.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Revenge on the 13th Floor features frequent stylized, cartoon-like violence depicted entirely through ASCII graphics and a retro 16-color palette. Players use firearms and a knife to fight human enemies. Combat includes shooting, melee attacks, exaggerated ASCII blood splatters, persistent bloodstains, and fallen bodies. The game also contains frequent strong language and profanity. Despite its violent themes, all visuals are highly abstract and deliberately unrealistic, inspired by classic DOS games and '80s arcade aesthetics. The game contains no realistic gore, nudity, or sexual content.
