Unconventional Healing in The Book of Aaru: A New Egyptian Adventure
Gaming Staff • February 19, 2025
Action Game Indie Game Pc Games Role Playing Game Early AccessThe Book of Aaru, an isometric rogue-lite game set in an advanced ancient Egypt, introduces two unique healing altars to its gameplay. The Grand Altar of Horus restores 20% of the player's health but is hidden in a secret dimension that requires a special key to access. This adds a strategic element to the game as players must decide when it's most beneficial to use it. The Lesser Altar of Thoth heals 5% of the player's health and is scattered throughout the dungeon, often concealed in shadows.
Finding and using these altars requires careful listening for their faint, mysterious sound, adapting to the dungeon's ever-changing layout, and using tools like the Seeker's Medallion to locate them. Players can also enhance the power of healing altars through meta-progression.
The Book of Aaru already features fast-paced combat and rogue-lite progression, and the addition of healing altars provides more strategic options for players. They must navigate procedurally generated dungeons, battle enemies, and uncover secrets in this blend of Egyptian mythology and advanced sci-fi. The game is expected to be released on Steam, where players can wishlist it in preparation for an unforgettable adventure.
