Dreamscaper - Roguelite Battles in the Dream World

Dreamscaper combines the atmosphere of melancholy adventures with the fast-paced combat of an action role-playing game. If you want to take a closer look at this unusual mix, you'll find a cheap key on Keyfuchs.

With Dreamscaper, the developers of Afterburner Studios want to bring fresh wind to the action role-playing genre. To achieve this goal, Dreamscaper combines two different games under one roof at a closer look, which are connected by an exciting story.

When the main character is awake, the game resembles melancholic and quite leisurely adventures of the Life is Strange variety. The player leads a normal life and finds himself in his idyllic hometown. In bars, cafes or bookstores, players meet other characters who have their own stories to tell and face him with sometimes quite cryptic puzzles. By completing tasks and listening to the stories of the residents, he can improve his relationships with people. If certain friendship values are reached, exclusive weapons and other rewards can be unlocked.

Things move a lot faster in the dream world of Dreamscaper, which gameplay-wise can be classified as a classic action role-playing game. It quickly becomes clear that the monsters in the dream world represent the fears and depressions that have taken root in the main character's subconscious. The combat system relies on the typical virtues of the genre and allows for quick and strong attacks, combos, attacking with ranged weapons or parrying with a shield. A skippable tutorial familiarizes the player with the basics of the combat system before they start their adventure. To fully enjoy this, the developers of Afterburner Studios recommend using a gamepad.

One of the most interesting features of Dreamscaper is its roguelite approach. If the player dies in the dream world, their character wakes up and finds themselves back in their hometown. All resources that were collected during the excursion into the dream world are transferred to the real world and can be used to craft unusual gifts for the residents and the player's friends. In turn, this unlocks new extras that can empower and enable the player's own hero to survive longer in the world of dreams and collect even more resources.
