Catarsis

Catarsis is an action roguelike about Nyx, a cat who unexpectedly takes control of a prototype robot as evil robots wage war on humanity. You fight robot attacks room by room, gaining XP by defeating enemies and improving your character and weapons for the next room.

Story

Humans and advanced robots lived in peace for centuries, until a group of powerful robots declared war on humanity. Believing they no longer needed humans, the robots gathered in the Net Building, made mini robots to serve their purposes and launched a surprise attack. Humanity was on the verge of extinction.

The scientists at Paw Lab, the most advanced laboratory in the Catarsis universe, had been trying to develop a robot controlled by mental power. Their tests had repeatedly failed, until the laboratory cat Nyx entered the pre-robot prototype one night and succeeded in controlling it. The scientists had been testing the prototype for months without getting it to work. The pre-robots and cats may now be humanity's chance to defeat the evil robots and their army.

Combat and upgrades

You buy and upgrade weapons and equipment, then choose weapons and character abilities to suit each fight. Strategy, reflexes and careful choices help you survive the attacks and make progress through the rooms.
