Check Mate Publishing confirmed that Ampersat, the shooty, slashy, RPG-y game developed by Gaterooze, Ink & GrabTheGames and Ratalaika Games, is now available to purchase on the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

A blend of influences from Gauntlet and Smash TV to Zelda and a dash of Angband, this is a handcrafted adventure with much appeal to fans of Roguelites. A labor of love from a solo developer, Ampersat distills some favorite childhood gaming experiences into a fresh, fun hybrid that sees you killing a lot of monsters, finding a lot of loot, freeing captured letters (um, what?) and growing from a world-weary warrior mage into a powerful smashing/blasting machine!

Ampersat Features:

• More than 50 handcrafted levels, many with exploration and light puzzles -
• Optional endless procedural area -
• Original gameplay elements based around freeing and capturing letters -
• Flexible character progression with extensive skill tree -
• Hundreds of unique pieces of loot find, buy, sell and augment -
• Upgradeable town hub -
• Tackle stages in the order you choose -
• 50 unique creature types with individual AI, 10 fiendish bosses -
• Drop-in local async co-op (and online using Steam Remote Play Together), suitable for young players to team up with their parents -

Ampersat is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles for $9.99.
