About this game

ARCASCIAN is a minimalist ASCII-rendered fantasy FPS built around fast runs, procedural dungeons, and relentless combat.

Fight through endlessly generated dungeon floors, survive mounting enemy pressure, collect weapons and upgrades, and reach the portal before you're overwhelmed. Every escape takes you deeper into an increasingly dangerous run.

Play solo or fight alongside friends with support for offline play, Steam Remote Play, and full online co-op for up to four players.
