What's new

MAC & LINUX Versions Available NOW! (Vaporum: Lockdown - Patch #4)

2020-10-16

Hey, guys and gals! While Patch #4 is smaller in terms of changes and fixes, it's actually a big deal -- the game is now released on Mac & Linux! Work on the Switch port is well underway already, so that's to come in the nearest future, too. Here are patch notes as usual: - Support for Mac & Linux added. - Tweaked the blackouts in the psychedelic part of the Hive to happen at specific points rather than triggering at random times during the whole ordeal. - Fixed: Continuous damage received from enemies does not scale with the difficulty level. (You can always find the patch notes in the installation folder in PatchNotes.txt.) Share, comment, and enjoy! :)

I'm not generally a steampunk fan, but even with that, this game is well-crafted and the visual style fits the game style, and it truly feels like a fresh new take on a gameplay style I love. Not a bad game, at...

I liked Vaporum for what it was - a somewhat simple grid-based dungeon crawler with some interesting additions such as gadgets (think spells) and different circuit lines for additional skills and build variety. I was kind of looking forward to Vaporum: Lockdown, but I just can't really get into it. I think the main issue with it is that it's just Vaporum again. I don't really mean that facetiously either - it's...
