Description

Chamber Crusader is a roguelike, procedurally generated, arcade-style game. The player moves around in a small map shooting or swinging at enemies until they die. The key here is survival. How many points can you accumulate and how many rooms can you complete? The game is fast-paced, so a mouse and keyboard is recommended. Enemies will chase you quickly around the map so you will have to keep moving or else you will die. The map is considerably small and it will procedurally generate different layouts by randomising the location of blocks and enemies. The game also progressively gets more difficult the further you go.

The spawn location of each enemy will also be randomised. Players will enter a new room after defeating all the enemies in that room, they keep progressing until they die. The player gets points for every enemy defeated.

Procedural map generation adds replay ability and variety to the game. Each playthrough offers a new map configuration which the player may have never seen before. The random enemy placement adds unpredictability and forces players to constantly move or else they will quickly lose. The player will have to aim precisely with the mouse whilst moving at the same time in this fast-paced game.

Have fun and enjoy!
