There are games that ask you to become a hero. There are games that ask you to become a monster. And then there is Path of Achra, which looks at the distinction between the two, considers it briefly, and decides that perhaps the distinction was never particularly important to begin with. Path of Achra is the kind of game where you enter the ancient earth with a name, a purpose, a weapon, and perhaps a god who has decided that your continued existence is temporarily useful. From there, everything becomes increasingly difficult to explain in the language of ordinary civilization. You choose a culture. You choose a class. You choose a religion. You choose powers. You choose more powers. Then you discover that the powers have chosen something else entirely. This is what makes the game feel so wonderfully free. It does not seem interested in asking what a character should be. It asks what a character could become, and then patiently provides enough opportunities for the answer to become increasingly unreasonable. There is a particular beauty in watching a build slowly stop resembling anything that could have been designed by a sensible person. What begins as a warrior can become something else. What begins as a religious devotion can become a mechanism for destruction. A simple ability becomes another ability, which interacts with another ability, which activates something else, and suddenly the ancient lands of Achra are experiencing consequences that were probably not anticipated by anyone involved. And yet it feels right. This is perhaps the greatest achievement of Path of Achra. Chaos does not feel like chaos. It feels like a natural consequence of the world. The game understands that power is not merely a number. Power is a relationship between ideas. One effect gives birth to another. One decision creates another possibility. One seemingly insignificant choice waits patiently in the darkness until, several rooms later, it becomes the foundation of something magnificent. The enemies are there, of course. The lands are there. The Obelisk is there. But increasingly, you begin to suspect that the real journey is not toward the Obelisk at all. The real journey is toward the moment when your character becomes so absurd that even you no longer fully understand what you have created. And that is a beautiful thing. Path of Achra is not merely a roguelike about surviving another run. It is a celebration of experimentation, excess, strange combinations, and the ancient human desire to ask the most dangerous possible question: "What happens if I combine these two things?" Sometimes the answer is death. Sometimes the answer is glory. And sometimes the answer is something that produces so many effects at once that it becomes difficult to remember why you entered the dungeon in the first place. I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys traditional roguelikes, character building, dark fantasy, or simply the feeling of discovering that the rules of a game are considerably more generous than they initially appeared. Walk the Path. The Path remembers. Achra waits. And somewhere beyond the blood, the powers, the gods, the ruins, and the increasingly questionable decisions lies the Obelisk. Probably. Maybe. It doesn't really matter. Keep walking.
its really ugly looking and not all that deep but if you have Retro Gamer Imagination this thing really comes to life, the writing and themes are great, like playing an ancient cave painting celebrating an act of insane ritual violence, or the kind of things an unstable kid in the 80s or early 90s might doodle in his books next to conan and red sonja, swords and logos of bands for losers
The game page's description of this as a "broken build sandbox" is more apt than anything I could come up with. Although it may technically be a roguelike, its so different from any other roguelike I've played. Instead, I'd call Path of Achra a theorycrafting game. For lots of RPGs (The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate, etc.) people like to share their character builds online- the combination of gear, abilities, team compositions, etc. that they used to beat the game, and to discuss with others potentially game breaking or challenging builds for subsequent playthroughs. Dedicated fans of these games can have a lot of fun engaging in this "metagame." PoA offers a similar kind of pleasure, encouraging you to find a Culture, Class, Religion, and Prestige Class combo that will spam one of the four core actions (Attacking, moving, standing still, or praying) to obliterate hordes of enemies. Easily a quarter of my time spent playing Path of Achra is spent on the character select screen, mulling over options and planning my run out. Path of Achra is undoubtedly a cool game, but untraditional and sometimes overwhelming. If you're considering getting it, I'd highly recommend playing the demo to get a feel for it yourself.
