Rogueliker

I’m going to start to try and cover more breaking news here on Rogueliker, and that includes today’s announcement that promising deckbuilder Dark Sky has just got a release date!

The day to mark in the old diary is September 24, as that’s when Dark Sky is landing on PC Steam and GOG (you can wishlist it here).

If all goes to plan, we’ll be able to play what looks to be a stylish and carefully constructed roguelike deckbuilder with distinctive hand-drawn art and an emphasis on tactical grid-based encounters, card-centric combat, and party management / RPG elements.

If the game looks familiar, it looks like the game was originally announced with a different name, so please bear in mind that you might have first encountered this when it was called Xenotheria.

I’ve not had the pleasure of playing this one yet but it certainly looks like my cup of tea (check out my recent article on roguelike deckbuilders for more games like this one), and if all goes well I’ll have something to report on Dark Sky come late September!

Now, check out the trailer…

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
