A demo for Super Alloy Crush, a new roguelike brawler inspired by the Blue Bomber, is launching on Steam on January 22nd.
In Super Alloy Crush, you and everyone aboard your ship, known as the Ranger, are in search of the ultimate cosmic treasure: Planet AE-38. Playing as Muu, a close-combat robot fighter, or Kelly, an enhanced human specialising in firearms and tactical martial arts, you’ll encounter many rivals and obstacles along your path.
The game is described as a visceral cosmic adventure that blends side-scrolling platforming with roguelike brawler action, where every punch lands hard. It will also feature three modes: Story Mode, Battle Rush, and Ultimate Challenge and is playable either solo or in co-op.
No release date has been announced for Super Alloy Crush, but we do know its expected to be in Early Access for roughly a year.

Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.
