Hello there, Dear Reader, and welcome to Gone Rogue, our regular round-up of new roguelike and roguelite releases, from across the PC and console landscape.
This week I’ve dived into the release schedules of all the major platforms and pulled out the highlights for your consideration. As per usual, I’ve skipped on anything too rough around the edges or anything exploitative/grubby. Platform details will be included, alongside the game’s own store description and a screenshot.
I usually like to pick out one or two new games every week, and this time around my money has gone on Babel of Ystilia, but that’s only because I’ve already played a bunch of Lonestar and I was sent a copy of Disaster Blaster. Also, I’d have grabbed a copy of Blue Prince but that one is included in Game Pass – hurrah!
