The Book of Aaru delivers a deep, immersive gameplay experience

Inspired by games like Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods, Aaru puts its own twist on the roguelite formula-with destructible environments, secret dimensions, and a time-slowing mechanic that becomes a weapon in your hands. Your initiative is rewarded, not just your progression. Every room tells a story. Every run feels different

Key Features:

  • Isometric Action Rogue-lite: Engage in fast-paced, tactical action gameplay from an isometric perspective.

  • Rich Level Design: Experience unique trap sequences and environmental storytelling in every scene.

  • Randomly Sorted Levels: Each run offers a new experience with randomly assembled environments.

  • Time-Slowing Mechanic: Transform slow time into a tool of destruction and invincibility.

  • Craftable Power-Ups: Forge temporary power-ups mid-expedition to ensure smoother progress while weighing the costs against valuable meta-progression materials.

  • Weapon Classes: Each class offers distinct attacks, allowing you to switch gameplay styles and strategies with every weapon.

  • Devastating Sandstorms: Survive the challenge of being pursued by a sandstorm that demolishes everything it swallows.
