The game has a fantasy theme and the protagonist is an apprentice of the Greyborn citadel, established by the Daedalon brothers wizards, where aspiring wizards are trained.
Their final test is the Ziggurat where novices go to die or survive and become part of the citadel's inner circle.
The tower-like Ziggurat consists of several floors that need to be completed with a single life.
The game has permadeath but it is possible to save progress after completing a floor to continue another time.
The game emphasizes fast-paced movement including sprinting, jumping and using platforms in the environment, fighting against large hordes in small rooms, but optionally auto-aiming can be enabled.
Each floor is generated with a random pattern and it consists of several floors linked together by corridors.
To complete a level a guardian boss needs to be defeated, but it can only be summoned when a portal key has first been located elsewhere.
A typical room spawns a large amount of minions that need to be defeated before the doors open again.
There is a chance of a random effect when entering a room, for instance creating larger enemies, doing more damage, making them invisible etc.
Other types of rooms that can be part of a floor are a treasure room with a powerful item, a hazard room where an environmental hazard needs to be avoided, a shrine where health or mana can be offered to the gods in exchange for an additional effect or modifier, and a lore room where an ancient scroll can be found, providing knowledge.
Each floor also has a secret room hidden behind a cracked wall.
Inside one of two skills can be chosen and it also shows information about one of the developer's earlier games.

About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Ziggurat for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Ziggurat to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2014.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Ziggurat, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
