(CriticalIndieGamer) Crystal Catacombs is, in many ways, your typical roguelike game. As Captain Vasil Ravencraft your out on a journey to discover the treasures that dwell deep within the fabled catacombs, but your quest will not be easy, as is always the way with these things. Evil creatures and demons haunt the catacomb’s various lairs, which each have their own theme, and will make your life difficult. Ruthlessly difficult. Nobody has ever returned from within the catacombs to tell their tale, but if you can master this cursed place and destroy the creatures that haunt it, maybe Captain Vasil will be the first.
Marcus Estrada writes: "If you’ve been keeping an eye on Kickstarter for the past few years then perhaps Crystal Catacombs is a familiar name to you. It was way back in 2011 when developer Maxwell Jensen tried, but ultimately failed, to raise funds for the game. Of course, just because one campaign doesn’t make it on Kickstarter does not mean it’s time to throw in the towel. A year later Crystal Catacombs was back seeking crowdfunding and succeeded. In fact, it raised more than double the goal"
When it comes to challenging games, few come close to the roguelike games in terms of sheer organ-punching difficulty levels, and Crystal Catacombs is no exception.
