Rack and Slay is a roguish billiards game that I’ve been keeping in my sights since I played the demo last year. Now there’s a big update from developer Ludokultur with regards to its release date.
That’s right, Dear Reader, you’ll need to chalk your cue starting on May 27th, because that’s when Rack and Slay is releasing on Steam PC.
Now, I don’t normally roll out the red carpet for a release date – we have a regularly updated article about the best new roguelikes and roguelites precisely for this sort of stuff – but in this instance there’s more to report!
The demo is already very playable, but there’s plenty of new content still to be added. Here’s what players can expect to find in the full version of the game:
- 111 game-changing items, with 50+ of them being unlockable through playing any mode you like
- 20 difficulty levels to unlock in packs
- The full 10-level Crawl Mode for 30-minute roguelike runs
- Shorter Delve Mode with half the levels, but double the item drafts
- The one-level Raid Mode with random items for a quick bursts
- Daily Mode featuring a unique set of game-changing run modifiers
- Wild Mode for random (and sometimes extra crazy) sets of modifiers
- A set of Challenge Runs featuring pre-defined gameplay variants that will often drastically change the way you play the game
- A full Item Compendium to track your unlocks and collect badges for the highest difficulty you beat using each item
- Full in-game patch notes
As it’s Easter weekend I’ve been lazy and copy + pasted and then tweaked what was listed in the latest update on Steam. You can read the full post, download the demo, and do the whole wishlisting thing via the same link.
