ARCASCIAN

ARCASCIAN is a minimalist ASCII-rendered fantasy FPS built around fast runs, procedural dungeons, and relentless combat.

Fight through endlessly generated dungeon floors, survive mounting enemy pressure, collect weapons and upgrades, and reach the portal before you're overwhelmed. Every escape takes you deeper into an increasingly dangerous run.

Play solo or fight alongside friends with support for offline play, Steam Remote Play, and full online co-op for up to four players.

Features

• Endless Procedural Runs
  Explore procedurally generated dungeon floors with changing encounters, enemies, drops, and opportunities to improve your build.

• 1–4 Player Co-op
  Play alone, locally, through Steam Remote Play, or in full Steam online multiplayer with up to four players.

• Minimalist ASCII FPS Combat
  A distinctive ASCII-rendered fantasy world combined with fast first-person combat and an original chiptune soundtrack.

• Highly Configurable Gameplay
  Weapons, levels, balance settings, and game rules can be modified in-game, saved as presets, shared with other players, or edited directly through simple .json files.

• Accessible by Design
  Full Steam Input support and completely configurable controls allow the game to adapt to different players and control methods.

• Customisable Visuals
  Choose and create colour schemes, including colourblind-tested configurations, or enable simplified rendering options for greater clarity.

• Built to Run Anywhere
  ARCASCIAN is deliberately small and lightweight, with modest hardware requirements designed to run well even on low-end PCs.

• Handheld Friendly
  Low system requirements and lightweight rendering help reduce resource usage and preserve battery life on portable gaming PCs.

Enter the dungeon. Build your arsenal. Find the portal. Repeat.
