Siralim Demo

Roguelike RPGs may not be very popular nowadays, but there are still plenty of games you can try and satisfy your curiosity with, such as Faster Than Light. One of the defining characteristics of the genre is the fact that you can only die once, and there is no reload function. As such, if you happen to fall in a battle, then you have to take it from the beginning.

Siralim is a fantasy-based role-playing game with many roguelike elements integrated into its formula, as well as quite the hefty amount of content. As such, the action takes place in your typical fantasy setting and it involves mages, monsters and dungeons. However, unlike regular role-playing games, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to exploration, crafting and character customization.

Your main goal is to summon and customize creatures, given the fact that your character is a mage. These creatures depend on the class you have chosen in the beginning and they can be improved as you go along. Each one of them requires a certain amount of resources to summon, on the other hand, so it’s not enough to have the right recipe. The creatures can be customized and equipped with a variety of items, with the purpose of making them stronger.

The castle you rule over can be customized and expanded as well, which is quite the neat trick. As such, you can add new rooms and make it more suitable for exotic creatures, in order to make them feel like home. Crafting is an important part of the gameplay as well, because there are countless recipes and items you can create using a handful of resources.

One of the more tantalizing aspects of the game is the fact that it doesn’t technically have any level restrictions, so you can keep gaining experience for as long as you want. Since the world is constantly evolving and changing, the challenges are different as well, although there is obviously a bit of repetition every now and again. Thankfully, the developers are constantly adding new content to keep you entertained.

All things considered, Siralim does a wonderful job when it comes to providing you with a lot of content and the freedom to do whatever you like. Hence, if you do not mind the retro graphics and the confusing mechanics in the beginning, this is definitely a game that can keep you occupied for a long time.
