This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!
Today’s Spotlight is Mana Spark, a dungeon crawling roguelite by BEHEMUTT and Kishimoto Studios.
Mana Spark‘s combat system is completely skill-focused; no worrying about dying to cheap RNG in this roguelite. Explore dungeons made up of handcrafted rooms that are procedurally assembled each run. Between runs you’ll have a chance to buy permanent upgrades as you rebuild the game’s starting village using materials you scavenge from the dungeon. You can check out a trailer above.
The game recently received a large content update, which you can read about here.
Mana Spark is available on Windows PC, Mac, Linux (all via Steam and GOG), and Switch for $9.99.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
A challenging action RPG with deep souls-like combat and rogue-like elements. Explore a dreadful dungeon and fight smart enemies that will plan and collaborate between themselves to defeat you.
Key Features:
- COMPLETELY SKILL-BASED COMBAT: Each enemy has its own set of skills, behaviors and collaborations. Learn their patterns and discover their weakness before they lay their hands on you.
- EXCITING PROGRESSION: Be responsible for rebuilding and maintaining your guild’s village. Meet new characters, choose your traps, your weapons and keep track of your discoveries and unlocked content.
- HANDCRAFTED & PROCEDURAL GENERATION: Designed to make each new run a completely new experience. Each room is handcrafted to get the most out of the combat, but you’ll never explore the same dungeon twice.
