Amenti Studio has announced a significant update to the Glyph Perk System in their upcoming rogue-lite RPG, The Book of Aaru. The update includes unique, recognizable icons for each Glyph, which are designed to represent the category and purpose of each upgrade more closely.

Glyphs are categorized into five types: Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Riches, and Time Altering. They are further divided into three tiers based on risk, with Stat-based Glyphs offering subtle enhancements, Gameplay Altering Glyphs unlocking new abilities or evolving existing ones, and Two-edged Glyphs providing high-risk, high-reward perks.

Players can choose Glyphs that fit their playstyle and enhance their abilities. The Book of Aaru is an action-packed rogue-lite game set in a world where ancient Egypt has evolved beyond expectations, merging history, mythology, and advanced sci-fi technology. Players navigate through intricately hand-crafted trap corridors, each presenting a distinct challenge that demands a diverse set of skills, precise timing, and adaptable strategies.

The game features isometric action gameplay, unique trap sequences, randomly sorted levels, dual-wielding combat, active meta-progression, time-slowing mechanics, craftable power-ups, weapon classes, and devastating sandstorms. The Book of Aaru is set to release in Q1 2025, and it will be available for €19.99, $19.99, and £14.99. Amenti Studio, the developer, is a small startup that began in 2021 and has been working on The Book of Aaru since 2022.
