## About Dreamscaper

Dreamscaper is an action roguelite developed by Afterburner Studios and released in 2021 at $24.99.

Players describe the atmosphere as contemplative and emotional, with a wide variety of weapons and synergies keeping runs fresh. The game is verified on Steam Deck, runs to a long and challenging length, and holds a 91% positive rating from over 1,300 Steam reviews.
