Ziggurat 2 for Mac

Roguelike fantasy FPS game

Ziggurat 2 is a premium action game that was developed by Milkstone Studios. It is a first-person shooter with roguelike mechanics in its gameplay. It's the direct sequel to the first dungeon crawler FPS title, Ziggurat, and brings various performance improvements for a smoother and more satisfying experience.

Apart from graphical upgrades over the first Ziggurat, Ziggurat 2 also introduces an arsenal of new weapons and a slew of additional enemies to face and defeat. What's more, the level maps in the game are also randomly generated, so play sessions will look and feel unique and different each time.

Frantic FPS action

Ziggurat is an FPS dungeon crawler that was essentially an ode to classic games like Heretic and Hexen, which helped popularize the genre. It was praised for its fun and engaging combat and high replayability with various characters to unlock, even though playthroughs only lasted a couple of hours. Fast-forward a few years later, and a sequel is finally available to fans in the form of Ziggurat 2.

In this sequel, you're a member of a powerful magical order that is tasked to protect humanity from the forces of evil. Delve deep into dangerous dungeons and defeat hordes of enemies and fearsome Guardians in fast-paced combat. Access a variety of spells and weapons and find the best combination for each run. Take advantage of elemental resistances and weaknesses to gain an edge in battle.

Back to your home at the Citadel, you will also be able to recruit allies to take with you, as well as unlock new weapons and skills to use on your next run. The gameplay is just mindless fun, which is something that some players prefer, while others want more variety and depth—when it comes to the perks and various maps that can still feel the same after a while.

Improvements and refinements

Ziggurat 2 is an exercise in refinement and improvement for the series so far. It takes what was already there and fixes any glaring faults to offer a polished gameplay experience to both newcomers and fans alike. While it doesn't offer anything special, there aren't any major problems with it. It's a safe recommendation if you're into these types of games.
