Today, Fatbot Games and Merge Games announced that their steampunk dungeon crawler Vaporum is coming to Xbox One on April 10. According to the companies, Vaporum is an award-winning grid-based dungeon crawler that uses a first-person perspective. Just like Dungeon Master and Legend of Grimrock, Vaporum is a single-player experience where you have to escape by overcoming incredible odds.
Unlike many dungeon crawlers, Vaporum features real-time combat on a grid. In many ways it's like chess, but you can dodge the attacks! There's plenty of voice acting and other elements players will like. It's definitely a modern experience, but pays homage to old-school games.
Vaporum for Xbox One is currently available for digital preorder, and costs $20. However, the price is going to jump back up to $25 in less than a day. If you're interested in the title, be sure to snap it up quickly.

Vaporum is a grid-based dungeon crawler in an original steampunk setting, inspired by old-school classics. Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, the hero has to find out what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who he is.
