Dreamscaper gets New PC and Switch Release Date

I’ve had my eye on Dreamscaper for a while. The idea of a Roguelike, where each run takes place in a night’s worth of dreams, is very interesting to me. Surprisingly enough, it seems that Dreamscaper will be coming out of Early Access and launching in full sooner than expected.

In fact, instead of releasing on PC and Nintendo Switch on August 12^th like they previously announced, Freedom Games and developer Afterburner Studios have announced that Dreamscaper will be launching on August 5^th instead. Ian Cofino, Co-Founder of Afterburner Studios, commented on the impending release, stating:

“When we launched Dreamscaper on Steam Early Access last year, we couldn’t imagine Cassidy’s journey would resonate with so many players. The journey so far has surpassed our wildest dreams and we look forward to continuing to make dreams come true when we can share the Dreamscaper experience with everyone on Nintendo Switch and Steam this August.”

Also, here is what the press release had to say regarding the full release of Dreamscaper. “Dive into strange dream realms conjured by the subconscious mind of Cassidy, a young woman wrestling with her inner demons. Each night, Cassidy finds herself thrown into twisted dungeons inhabited by nightmarish creatures. To uncover the source of her lucid-dreaming loop, Cassidy pushes back against the darkness, wielding all manner of imaginative weaponry and psychic powers to attack, dodge, block, and blast through foes in frenetic hack-and-slack combat.

Outfit our heroine with an expansive arsenal of more than 200 unique items ranging from fiery bottle rockets and super-powered baseball bats to explosive finger guns with a myriad of modifiers and upgrades. Equip special abilities such as chain lightning and seismic blasts from an electric guitar to turn the tide of combat. Unlock new additions to Cassidy’s arsenal and skills by exploring dream dungeons and forging lasting bonds with NPCs during her waking hours.

Progress deeper into an ever-changing labyrinth that fuses Cassidy’s memories with her fears and anxieties. Spend the day preparing for nightly ordeals by visiting various locales around town and getting to know the neighbors. Spend time with pals to learn more about their lives, exchange gifts to deepen relationships, and access new powers and passive upgrades.

Dreamscaper’s full release includes all of the content from Steam Early Access and a host of all-new features. Face off against Regret and Resentment, imposing new bosses that haunt the deepest reaches of Cassidy’s psyche. Discover a warped version of Cassidy’s hometown that holds the key to her strange fate. Experiment across eight difficulty options with a dynamic slider to create the perfect level of challenge and complete the story to unlock multiple endings.”

Amid the sea of Roguelikes being released, Dreamscaper definitely looks and seems unique. I’m eager to give this one a try when it releases in August. Are you excited about Dreamscaper? Let us know in the comments!
