Rogue Loops: A Hades-Inspired Roguelike with a Twist
The upcoming indie roguelike, Rogue Loops, is generating buzz with its striking resemblance to Hades, particularly in its art style and core gameplay loop. However, Rogue Loops introduces a unique mechanic that sets it apart from the crowd. While a firm release date is yet to be announced (currently slated for Q1 2025 on PC), a free demo is available on Steam, offering players a sneak peek.
The game features a recurring dungeon structure with randomized loot and ability upgrades. But here's the twist: each upgrade comes with a distinct downside, significantly impacting gameplay strategy. This mechanic echoes Hades' Chaos Gates, but in Rogue Loops, these "curses" are more pronounced and potentially long-lasting, affecting the entire playthrough.
The narrative centers around a family trapped in a deadly time loop. Players navigate five floors of progressively challenging dungeons, facing unique enemies and bosses. Classic roguelike elements are present, including procedurally generated upgrades that enable diverse build customization through a system of buffs and debuffs.
While a precise release date remains elusive, the Steam page indicates a launch in the first quarter of 2025. Until then, the free demo (accessible on Steam) allows players to explore the first floor and satisfy their roguelike cravings. Other titles like Dead Cells and Hades 2 provide further options for those eager for similar gameplay experiences.
