Top Down - Rogue-like Engine

DOCUMENTATION | ROADMAP | WebGL DEMO | DISCORD SUPPORT

Building a roguelike from scratch takes months. This engine gets you to a playable prototype in a day.

You want to ship the next Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon, or bullet-hell roguelike - not spend your first three months writing a character controller, an AI state machine, and an inventory system, or untangling a 200 MB general-purpose framework where your genre is one demo scene out of ten.

Top Down - Rogue-like Engine is specialized. It does one thing: top-down action roguelikes. Every system the genre needs is included, already connected, and configured entirely from the Inspector. Open the demo scene, press Play - you have a working game. Swap the art, tune the numbers - you have your game.

➕ ADD-ONS

─────────────────────────────────────

• 10 Additional Abilities

─────────────────────────────────────

🛠 ONE WORKFLOW FOR EVERYTHING

─────────────────────────────────────

Every system follows the same pattern: create a ScriptableObject → assign it in the Inspector → done.

• No boilerplate, no architecture decisions, no hidden dependencies.
• New weapon, enemy, ability, item, or dialogue - minutes in the Inspector, zero code.
• Need custom behavior? Inherit one base class to add your own weapons, abilities, AI states, or actions. The core stays untouched, so updates never break your work.

🔫 Weapons

• Ranged weapons with multi-shot, spread, recoil, and burst fire. Bullet-hell ring and step-based attack patterns. Melee weapons with slash, thrust, and dash modes.

Waveform preview, per-sound cooldown, fade in/out, spatial blend, and clip variance. Dedicated music player with sequential/random playback, crossfade, and gap between tracks. All configured via Scriptable Objects, no code needed.

⭐ If this engine saved you time, a review helps a small specialized tool stay visible next to the big general frameworks - more than you'd think.
