Ok this one is weird. Quite unprompted, last night, I booted up Entropy Survivors shortly before bed. It was recommended to me as a possible game to include in my article about the best roguelikes for kids.
While not a roguelike, Entropy Survivors is an auto-shooter bullet heaven roguelite with a zany sense of humour, optional co-op, and an out-of-this-world setting. In it, you play a frog surfing on a walking mecha – and it only gets sillier from there.
What I didn’t realise, when booting up the game last night, was that this was happening shortly before a big update was due as part of a milestone, with Entropy Survivors enjoying its first birthday!
The press release I looked at earlier notes that the update should be out now, but at the time of writing this missive, it hasn’t appeared on Steam. Therefore, at this stage, all I can tell you is that it adds a hard mode and associated challenges and unlocks.
The mentioned price drop is in place on console (I checked on Xbox), although the upcoming 65% discount coming to PC isn’t going live until a big Bullet Heaven 3.0 event on Steam. More on that tomorrow!
