Ziggurat is a first-person roguelike shooter in which players take on the role of a wizard fighting through randomly generated dungeons with magical weapons.

Wands, staves, spellbooks, and alchemy weapons replace guns, and perks gained on level-up shape each run. Death is permanent, so every attempt starts over from the beginning with a new layout. Its fast, arcade-style pacing rewards players who learn enemy behavior and make smart choices about upgrades.
