Gameplay Mechanics

Combat

Sipher Odyssey is an action-packed game with intense & fast-paced combat mechanics. Players can customize their loadout with a wide array of ranged and melee weapons, from katanas and whips to pistols and assault rifles.

Players can choose one ranged weapon and one melee weapon before running each dungeon, and they can easily switch between them while in battle. As such, players can experience the thrill of taking on enemies from a distance with their ranged weapon, or they can get up close and personal with intense melee encounters.

In addition to normal attacks and dashes, each vessel has a unique ability that adds an extra layer of combat strategy.

Core Gameplay

Dungeons

A dungeon consists of multiple floors, each progressively generated and containing various enemy types that have unique attacks and abilities that create a challenging gameplay experience for the player. There are also variations and Elite versions of enemies.

Some floors contain regular enemies and mini-bosses, while others are entirely dedicated to challenging bosses.

Dungeons and enemies can scale in difficulty depending on the level, the vessel’s progress, and whether the player entered the dungeon on their own or with a team of friends.

There are various dungeons for each of the locations. Check out some of the locations here.

Progression

To progress through the dungeon, players must clear all enemies on each floor. A player will complete the dungeon only after completing all of its floors.

Getting defeated in a dungeon is a special occasion, as players must restart the dungeon from the beginning. However, players continue to make progress after each dungeon run. For more information, refer to Vessel Progression.

Augmentations & Equipment

Augmentations and Equipment are key features in Sipher Odyssey’s core gameplay. Combined with procedurally generated dungeons, these create opportunities for endless combinations, adding a high level of replayability to the game.

Game Modes

WORLD EXPLORATION

Story Mode offers a unique experience in which players can explore dungeons and access lost memories, uncovering the secrets and mysteries within Sipheria as they progress through the storyline.

As players complete the various dungeons and unlock new areas, they'll encounter challenging enemies and bosses to battle and defeat to progress further through the game.

Corruption

Corruption is occasionally triggered during world exploration. This increases the difficulty by adding certain effects to the vessel, enemies, floors, or traps.

There are limits and restrictions to the types of items that can be traded in the game. Additionally, players must pay an upfront fee to sell items on the marketplace. This fee may be determined based on factors such as the type, rarity, and tier; and other economic factors such as power score inflation and the number of such assets in the playerbase or marketplace.
