Thus lore and competition can be shared with others. This seed is used to procedurally generate the planet, overworld, secrets and dungeons.Įntering the same world seed will always generate the same world, no matter which platform you are playing on.

Jib is automatically controlled by AI, or player two can play Jib in local co-op mode. He can also gain the ability to stun foes. Jib scans the bodies of your fallen foes, sometimes uncovering valuable loot. On his deathbed, he illegally transferred his consciousness into a skybot, destroying the consciousness link thereby preventing overwrite. Growing up, he took an interest in programming artificial intelligence, eventually making a career for himself. Jib began life as a human boy on the skycity planet Yuerder. The sword is pretty fraggin' sweet though. When Roq finds the nanosword hidden in a cave on Ekzera, he unwittingly awakens an ancient evil. With a propensity for partying and making music, he cruises the galaxy with his skybot Jib aboard the ship Songbringer, searching for verdant planets absent the presence of galactic police. You play the role of protagonist and accidental hero, Roq Epimetheos.

Songbringer implements a competitive vibe as well with its leaderboard system which goes hand-in-hand with its speedrunning influence, so anytime you feel like wanting to show off your swordplay in the rankings it’s all there for you.Songbringer is a scifi action RPG with swords, secrets, dungeons, bosses and stuff.

So being mindful at times can really be of great benefit especially when you’re unsure of what to expect. The scary part about that however is when you leave an area then return to it, some enemies may reappear and cause you even more of a headache because we’ll be honest, there were times when we came across a room only to be bombarded by a horde of unrelenting enemies and of course we got destroyed. Every puzzle is a stimulating one and encourages you to sometimes backtrack in order to gather certain hints that perhaps you may have overlooked. We died a great deal while playing but just like any other roguelike experience, you brush off those losses and jump right back in hopes that you can finally overcome the demons that stand in front of you. Every dungeon is uniquely crafted in that there’s never a repeat of what you saw before and that gives the game a fresh appeal every time you begin a quest.
