Step into the eerie world of Ido and face off against terrifying creatures steeped in Japanese folklore in Labyrinth of Zangetsu. With a distinctive art style inspired by Japanese sumi-e ink painting, this challenging dungeon crawler seamlessly blends traditional elements with modern design.

What we like:
  • Polished and user-friendly dungeon crawler
  • Unique 'front & back mechanic'
  • Artistic direction, music, and atmosphere are well done
  • Smooth and modern implementation of a classic genre
  • Designer and primary developer are active in the community
What could be improved:
  • Stat downgrades when leveling up and lack of class-specific item drops can be frustrating
  • Game does not provide information on class-specific prerequisites
  • Masochistic gameplay mechanics can lead to hours of lost progress
  • UI sounds can be overly loud
