Hey there! Long time no see (unless it isn’t, of course). Welcome to the latest round-up of new roguelike releases: Gone Rogue.
As per, this is a gently curated overview of the launch line-up from the last couple of weeks. Actually, to be fair, this time it’s nearly three weeks since we’ve done one of these, so it’ll be slightly more curated than usual as there are more games to get through.
We don’t use this article to cover demos or prologue games, I skip on anything derivative or derogative, and finally, I don’t include titles that use AI to make in-game assets. It’s also worth highlighting that the copy in quotation marks is lifted directly from a store page, and isn’t written by me.
And so, armed with that context, here is a big ol list of rogues…
