Codemakers

Codemakers is a first-person roguelike about rebuilding the universe with fragments of code. You descend through floors of a simulator protocol, fighting machines and beings of pure corruption while searching for the fragments and uncovering what happened. The story also asks whether you can save those you find and what will happen when the real threat emerges.

Fight through the floors

Each floor brings new hazards and challenges, and you battle enemies while solving your way through the simulator. Each enemy has its own attacks and weaknesses; some resist or are immune to certain damage types. Enemies can also hit one another by accident and trigger environmental hazards such as landmines, so you need to watch for these interactions.

Weapons and items

You gain access to a large arsenal of weapons and items for crushing, slashing, impaling, disintegrating and exploding enemies. Most guns have a set of mods that can substantially change how they work, and some have alternate modes. Other items can increase your speed or cause certain enemy types to fail. The arsenal also includes melee weapons that explode or can be thrown, as well as active items that stop time or call in airstrikes.

Explore the overworld

The overworld expands as the story progresses, opening new areas, shops, characters and quests. You can also discover Mysterium Corp., an organization that currently helps you. Overworld side quests may involve different activities without taking you to custom areas. One upcoming quest line, Keeper of the Shells, has you use shotguns in different ways to unlock new ones, culminating in a shotgun described as being able to kill gods.
