Rogue Worlds is a roguelite platformer where you use the environment and creative abilities to overcome challenges. Explore multiple worlds where you must utilise your creative abilities to twist adversity to your advantage. You'll need planning, wits and reflexes to make a way through these ever-changing death labyrinths.

Explore strange biomes, escape flooding poison, outwith gargantuan bosses. Do you play defensively with a repeater and energy shield, or swing into the fray with a boomerang and grapple hook? Do you scour the levels for potions and runes; or do you dive headfirst into the chaos?

Progress Between Runs

As you progress, you can unlock starting gear, optional character perks, pets, and more! You can also see friends that you've rescued along your travels.

The game is still heavily focused on skill, and veterans may turn off character perks or increase the difficulty for the increased challenge (and XP) if they so desire.

F.A.Q.

Let's be transparent...

"Anything else to be aware of?"

• It’s designed to be challenging, and death may be encountered frequently during your initial runs. Though there is no stunlocking/one-hit demises on the player.

• Default gamepad controls are slightly different from convention, due to optional 360 degree aiming with right analogue stick. Though buttons can be rebound to suit.

• Being able to multi-task between abilities will greatly increase suitability.
