Cryptical Path Coming to Steam on January 29

Old Skull Games finally revealed the official release date for its upcoming title Cryptical Path. The roguelite dungeon crawler is launching on Steam this January 29.

The game puts plates in the role of the Architect as they build their very own path and navigate through an ever-changing labyrinth within which they’ve been summoned. If anything, the game is able to push the boundaries of what the roguelite genre can offer. That’s because it may well be the very first action roguelite builder where players can add a new creative angle to their style of gameplay.

Basically, it makes players the Architect of their adventure. They’ll dive into a universe where each run is theirs to shape. Now the goal of the game is simple and that is to reach the boss and defeat him. However there is a twist and that is players can place their own rooms in the dungeon and even create their own path. This results in them being able to influence the challenges ahead. This rather interesting gameplay mechanic introduces that new layer of optimization along with a unique depth to the roguelite genre.

In a statement, the studio shared that the game offers a journey that’s been designed by roguelite fans and aimed at action roguelite enthusiasts. It’s able to stand out with the other titles in the same genre with its dynamic and ever-evolving gameplay. Of course, there’s also the feature where each decision in configuring the dungeon results in reshaping the course of the adventure. It is modularity that allows players control over their experience while preserving classic genre staples like progression through repeated attempts, diverse enemies, and intense combat.

Key features of the game include:
