Dreamscaper is the creative lovechild of three best friends who wanted to make a meaningful game. Dreamscaper is an ARPG Roguelite blending elements from brawlers, top-down shooters, and dungeon crawlers.
Every slumber is a different dungeon in an ever-changing world with a multitude of unique events and challenges. You play as Cassidy, dive into her subconscious and take on the surreal nightmares she wrestles with in order to save her from a dark fate. Below is the most recent gameplay demo, so you can see the gameplay in action for yourself:
Originally Dreamscaper debuted as a Kickstarter campaign last year that made over $50,000 during its crowdfunding. The title is a roguelite inspired action RPG with modernized hack’n’slash combat. You can play the prologue now on Steam, which should tied you over until its official release in August 2020.
