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. Explore the black and white labyrinths as you customize your hero's abilities and structure your team to survive. Uncover the harrowing lore that lurks in the depths of the game as you fight to emerge victorious.


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
