Ad Iterum

About

Ad Iterum is a turn-based 2D roguelike where survival hinges on bending your body to your will. Take control of a character in a crumbling world that reshapes itself each run. Combat revolves around tactical positioning and resource management, but the real hook is your ability to alter your form. Gain mutations that trade durability for power, forge blood pacts that grant unique abilities, or rely on scavenged tech to patch together a fighting chance. Progress isn’t linear, death is expected, and every fresh start carries lessons from previous failures. The game’s identity comes from its unapologetic focus on gritty, body-horror inspired customization. Player communities highlight how its risk-reward loops force creative problem-solving, with some runs ending in grotesque overpowered builds. While short on polish, its raw design and permadeath core have earned praise on indie forums for delivering tense, unpredictable sessions. The shifting map and randomized threats ensure no two descents feel alike.
