Labyrinth of the Witch

Labyrinth of the Witch is a traditional roguelike that's inspired by the 'Mystery Dungeon' game series. As usual in the genre, your goal is to descend through a dangerous dungeon full of traps and monsters, in order to reach the last floor and get as much treasure as possible. On this occasion, you'll also be able to capture some of the monsters along the way to create your own ranch.

If you're already familiar with the genre, then the controls in Labyrinth of the Witch won't surprise you. In the lower half of the screen you'll find the usual controls: the arrow keys for moving in a straight line and diagonally and the buttons to attack close up, attack from a distance and open up the inventory. One of the key aspects of the game is definitely the inventory management. If you want to survive in the most dangerous dungeons you'll have to carefully choose what you pick up and what you leave behind.

The dungeons in Labyrinth of the Witch, like those of any self-respecting roguelike, are virtually infinite. Each time you enter a new dungeon, it'll be procedurally generated, so you'll never walk the same corridors and caverns twice. Each new dungeon will be plagued by different traps and different enemies, who will try to put an end to your adventure at all costs. Luckily, the loot you can collect is also completely random, so you can defend yourself using hundreds of different swords, bows, magic wands and scrolls.

Labyrinth of the Witch is an excellent 'roguelike' that, although it has all the fundamental characteristics of the genre (like turn-based combat, procedural generation, permanent death and grid-based movement), it's also very accessible for players who aren't used to all this. Plus, it has beautiful graphics, which are sure to attract even more players to the genre.
