Striving for Light

Striving for Light is a mixture of action, roguelike and role-playing game. The 2D graphics in this indie project were drawn by hand. The camera is located at the top and at an angle. The title is made in a fantasy setting. The plot of the story is extremely laconic. The hero is asked to save the villagers from evil. To do this, he needs to go down into the dungeon and clear it of monsters. If successful, the player is offered to go to a new dungeon. Then the cycle repeats. Locations are generated randomly. There are several biomes. They always change in the same order. The monsters are gradually becoming stronger. Among them there are bosses and mini-bosses. As a reward for defeating the leaders, you are given the key to the chest with loot. Contractions take place in real time. You can switch between melee and ranged weapons on the fly. It is possible to evade enemy attacks through dashes.

The indie title Striving for Light can be played by two people on one computer. One user can control their character via keyboard and mouse, while the second user is allowed to use a gamepad. There is no online multiplayer, but there is an online leaderboard. With each new race, gamers receive unique skill lines. The leveling trees themselves are endless. They dynamically expand depending on the builds the players come up with. The skills presented in them can, if desired, be replaced using special fragments. As they progress, users can unlock new weapons, skills, and cards. The indie game also has modifiers to make the raids more difficult.
