Think... Heretic meets Binding of Isaac... meets... permadeath.

i will say that the good enemies are essentially just skinned equivalents to good enemies from the games its inspired by, and anything without a direct parallel is kind of lame (so far)

This game seems okay but it runs like complete rear end no matter what kind of system you have and makes it almost unplayable. RIP.

My computer runs performance hog games like Shadow of Mordor and Evil Within on very high settings and this thing chugs at absolute minimum settings. I don't get it.

Also it gives me Xbox button prompts even though I don't have a gamepad plugged in...WTF.

My only problem with it on that front is that, like most games coming out lately, it seems like the sensitivity fluctuates based on the framerate, which makes aiming a pain in the balls.

There's a bug with Far Cry 4 that makes it run like poo poo if it thinks you have a gamepad in. Maybe something hooked up to your machine is making Ziggurat think you have a gamepad in and it's bugging out?

beat it, trip report:

classic poo poo is all good, most hazard rooms are tolerable with a few really annoying exceptions, the floating island room with the portal key gets especially tedious but still just takes like 8 seconds to do right so no biggie

my big disappointment is that all the bosses are super-versions of regular mobs*, save the final boss. this is the kind of game i'd love to see get continual content packs, ala isaac

just got three new characters unlocked so i'll have to see what they're all about

*they have unique attacks and abilities, but still

American McGee is the designer of this awesome level.

Anyway Zigg is closer to Hexen just for the whole rule of 4/multiple mana pools thing going on. Hexen and Heretic are pretty close gamebros though
