AETHERIUM CYCLE

A fast-paced neon cyber-fantasy roguelite built around one simple idea: every run should feel different.

Fight through the Neon Void, build your character, discover powerful abilities, complete strange sidequests, and see how far you can survive.

⚡ BUILD YOUR OWN RUN

Choose from different archetypes or create your own character.

Customize your build with:

• Different combat styles • Skills and super attacks • Traits and permanent upgrades • Equipment and relics • Custom colors and patterns • Meta-progression through the Nexus

Every decision changes how your run plays.

⚔️ FAST COMBAT

Fight aggressive enemies using attacks, abilities, dashes and powerful super attacks.

The game features multiple enemy behaviors, ranged enemies, tanks, patrols, turrets, teleporting enemies and dangerous elite encounters.

There are also bosses, sidequest bosses and the mysterious ECHO / Null Herald.

🌀 SIDEQUESTS

The Void isn't just about killing everything you see.

Explore optional objectives involving:

• Hacking terminals • Protecting relays • Charging energy zones • Following constellations • Stabilizing strange structures • Solving environmental objectives • Surviving special encounters

Completing sidequests can trigger unique boss encounters.

☠️ AGGRESSIVE WAVES

Think you can survive?

Enter 10 increasingly difficult waves and see how long your build can last.

Between waves, recover and prepare for what's coming next.

🧬 ECHO & META-PROGRESSION

Death doesn't necessarily mean the end.

Echoes and the Nexus allow you to develop your progression between runs and push further into the Void.

Your goal isn't simply to survive once.

It's to go deeper.

🎵 PROCEDURAL MUSIC

Aetherium Cycle includes a built-in procedural music system that dynamically generates its soundtrack using Web Audio.

No external music files are required.
