Downward: Enhanced Edition

Platformer Fantasy Post-Apocalyptic

Summary

You crave systems to build and routes to master. Downward Enhanced Edition from Caracal Games takes first person parkour and turns it into a design sandbox set among post apocalyptic ruins and towering ancient guardians. Launching on PC in 2024 with roots in a 2017 cult indie, it invites you to craft movement builds, optimize momentum, and construct the perfect line through sprawling Fantasy and Adventure playgrounds. Upgrade skills, tune gear, and iterate like you would in ARPG build guides, then chase time trials to validate your theory crafting. On Windows PC it feels precise with keyboard or controller, and the Enhanced Edition refines visuals, flow, and exploration. If you search for best Adventure games to play 2024 this belongs on your shortlist. It scratches the same planning itch as Action RPG games and loot driven ARPGs by rewarding efficient routes, clever resource design, and repeatable mastery. Publish your lines, compare splits, and keep building a faster you.
