Automated dungeon crawler game Algolemeth heads to PC Steam in 2025 with Yuzo Koshiro as the composer
Medium-Rare Games will release Algolemeth for PC via Steam in 2025. This indie game will appear as a dungeon crawler RPG with a twist: The player will only be tasked to input sets of orders for the AI of the Golems in their party. The Golems will then explore the dungeon on their own and fight the enemies based on the given orders.
Algolemeth has been in development for quite some time, and it has been showcased in indie game events from as early as January 2023. But while the game was initially slated for release in 2024, the studio later delayed it to 2025.
One of the major announcements Medium-Rare Games made in recent days is that they have hired Yuzo Koshiro, whose career began at Nihon Falcom with the 1986 legacy PC release of Xanadu Scenario II: The Resurrection of Dragon, as the game's music composer. The whole soundtrack will be made with FM synthesis and be reminiscent of Sega Genesis-era soundtracks.
You can find the new official trailer, along with the screenshots and fact sheet for Algolemeth, right below. The game will be available in Japanese and English languages.
Create AI and Conquer the Dungeon.
Algolemeth is a dungeon RPG where you send golems equipped with program into a dungeon for fully automated exploration.
Challenge the Dungeon through Trial and Error!
As an alchemist, players create autonomously operating golems, forming parties to undertake automatic dungeon conquests. Once the golems are dispatched into the dungeon, all you can do is watch. Analyze enemy actions, iterate through trial and error, and aim to conquer the dungeon!
Bring Back Parts and Strengthen Your Golems!
Various enhancement parts can be found in the dungeon. Among them are those that directly increase the golem's physical abilities and modules that allow for new action logic. Create your own unique golems with the parts you acquire!
Not Just Battle, But Fully Automated Exploration!
Players can control exploration actions in the dungeon using exploration AI. Decide who will unlock the treasure chest, whether to continue exploring based on current health status, or whether to retreat. The actions of your party are dependent on the AI you've created.
