Sci-Fi

+1
Vaporum is a grid-based dungeon crawler that marries the classic sensibilities of the genre with a slick, steampunk aesthetic. Combat is tactical and deliberate, forcing you to carefully manage resources while outmaneuvering enemies in a confined space. Its defining feature is the environmental puzzles, which are integrated into the level design and demand both observation and experimentation to progress.
