Sol Cesto

Sol Cesto is a fast-paced roguelike where strategy and chance collide. The player seeks to reach the depths of the dungeon in search of the long-lost sun. The rooms are opened one at a time, and the decision is made blindly. Sometimes an empty room is more profitable than a battle. The darkness on the lower levels is denser, and the light does little to help. The first floor looks calm, which is deceiving. Each floor is divided into four rooms, and you have to make a choice without knowing what awaits behind the door. There may be a dangerous monster, a valuable treasure or a hidden passage. Findings strengthen the hero, but some of them bring risk. The choice between strength and security is made on the fly. In addition to battles, there are traps, riddles and merchants. The dungeon is randomly generated, so no two journeys are the same. Preparation and luck are equally valued, as the outcome of the race is determined by the combination of finds. The descent does not forgive greed, so you also need to be able to leave. Sometimes it makes more sense to take the loot and return. The weapons found vary in properties, so the choice is not obvious. Sometimes a find changes the entire subsequent descent. The descent does not end with one run, and with each attempt new rooms open up. The style emphasizes the darkness, and the music sets the pace. Updates add rooms and enemies. The style emphasizes mystery and darkness. The music speeds up along with the tempo of the descent. Short runs are good for quick sessions, while long runs require patience. For those who like fast descents and risk, this dungeon is suitable. The game is designed for short but intense runs.
