Algolemeth: Medium-Rare Games and Yuzo Koshiro Bring Strategic Dungeon RPG to Steam in 2024

Algolemeth: Medium-Rare Games and Yuzo Koshiro Bring Strategic Dungeon RPG to Steam in 2024 Independent game development studio Medium-Rare Games has announced that its innovative dungeon RPG, Algolemeth, is set to launch on Steam for PC in 2024.

Algolemeth stands out for its unique blend of strategic gameplay and simulation mechanics, and marks another notable project for legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro, who has contributed his signature musical style to the game's soundtrack. Background: A New Evolution in Dungeon Crawlers Medium-Rare Games, led by developer Gunzee2—also recognized by the alias @Gunzee2 online—has developed Algolemeth as a fresh interpretation of the classic first-person dungeon-crawling genre.

Drawing inspiration from foundational titles such as Wizardry and Ultima, Algolemeth distinguishes itself by focusing deeply on team-building and strategic management.

Notably, Yuzo Koshiro, renowned for his celebrated work on the soundtracks of Streets of Rage and Etrian Odyssey, has composed the score, further elevating the game’s atmosphere. Strategic Party Building and Golem Management Unlike traditional dungeon crawlers, Algolemeth places players in the role of an alchemist.

The main objective is to craft and assemble a formidable party of AI-controlled golems.

Players are tasked with meticulously preparing their teams before entering the dungeon: assigning roles, enhancing golems with parts acquired from previous runs, and configuring orders for optimal synergy.

Once the party is dispatched into the labyrinth, gameplay shifts to a simulation phase, where the player observes their creations in action and identifies opportunities for strategic refinement in subsequent rounds. Critical Recognition and Industry Accolades Algolemeth’s fresh approach has garnered significant attention in industry circles.

During BitSummit Let's GO!! 2023, one of Japan's leading indie game festivals, the title earned a nomination for the prestigious Best Game Design award.

Earlier, it secured victory in Bandai Namco's 2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest, highlighting its innovation and promise within the indie development community. Release Details and Availability Currently scheduled for release in 2024, Algolemeth will be available on PC via Steam.

While an exact launch date has not yet been confirmed by Medium-Rare Games, anticipation continues to grow among fans of the RPG and indie genres.

Interested players can actively follow updates through the game’s official Twitter/X account and add Algolemeth to their Steam wishlist in preparation for its debut. With a talented team and a renowned composer leading the charge, Algolemeth is poised to be one of the year’s standout dungeon-crawling RPGs.
