Archipelago Of Monsters was created for the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge 2025.

Downloading is encouraged, and make sure to press / for help!

The archipelago has been overrun by monsters and demons escaped from Tartarus. Take a crew upon the Argo to slay the 3 hydras guarding each gate to Tartarus. Along the way you'll need to feed your crew, find new members, upgrade your weapons, and get powerful gifts from the Gods.


The game is an infinite arcade style classic roguelike with no dungeons, only overland travel. There is a win condition, but for additional challenge, players can simply pick a direction to travel and see how far they can sail.

The entire game can be controlled with the mouse, or numberpad.

how do you walk on land?

Not certain, but I guess if you find the wings of Hermes, you can fly above land.

That's right. The wings also let you move quickly.

You need to get the Wings of Hermes from a Temple or Ruin. They let you move twice, and fly over land.
