    Wanted a game to play with an old-time friend, and this came up in a search. The trailers looked promising, so we try it out. Overall, I think the game plays similar to Hammerfell with permadeath similar to Into the Breach, yet is truly rogue-like and no two levels are the same.

    I haven't tried the game in single-player mode yet, but in co-op, there's quite a bit of fun to be had for several hours in a sitting. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive because even though the maps are different, the objectives are the same but slightly altered. The learning curve isn't super steep so everyone can learn how to play it without much difficulty.

    Overall, I'm not sure why others rated this game more than an 8, but it is certainly a well-polished game. I hope the game can get a bit more exciting as it is further improved, since it is still lacking a little pizzazz and replay value.

    Ultimately, my concern with the game is that it is short. If you're the type of person who tries to get an hour out of every dollar to make sure you get your money's worth, you may be disappointed. This was why I had to give the game a 7 instead of an 8, but of course YMMV since you may have a more pleasant experience with it than I did (or maybe you constantly keeping dying and restarting). I felt like I experienced everything the game had to offer after just a day.

    To give you an idea for how short the game is: A winning run, from start to end, takes around two hours. After that, all you can do is play it over again, but perhaps with a different character the next time around. The game is rogue-like, yes, but strictly for map structure only. The gameplay remains the same. The only way the game keeps you playing is by hoping you die so that you will try again, like an old-fashioned coin arcade machine.    … Expand

    Trying to complete the missions in an interesting World with different characters and features that reveal something completely different from all sides is both difficult and beautiful. But gameplay is boring.

    Классный рогалик, большая вариативность. От выбора класса очень сильно зависит способ прохождения

    Sticking points aside, Streets of Rogue is absolutely worth playing, and once you start, it’s hard to stop. It gives you more freedom than almost any roguelike, and its varied cast of characters, combined with the randomness of traits and mutators, mean no two runs play out the same way.

    For a game which manages to create a nice sense of place, I found it frustrating that the starting environments are a bit boring. For the first two districts the colour palette sticks heavily to shades of brown and while it improves once you’ve ascended past the industrial district, it’s disheartening when the rest of the game is awash with personality. I could keep going on the copious things Tiny Build Games have crammed into this experience but I think I’d be here all day. If you want a decent rogue-lite which is better than most of the countless others in its genre, then Streets Of Rogue will be right up your… err, street.

    Streets of Rogue offers a high-speed experience that’s got plenty of variables and options that keep things interesting and fun. I wouldn’t go so far as saying this is a game for everyone, since the combat-heavy experience does lend itself to certain play styles over others, but it’s fun and easy to pick up and play for a bit.
