Rogue Spirit, an anime-inspired 3D rogue-lite action game, will soon bring procedurally-generated and puzzlingly possessive gameplay to Steam Early Access on Wednesday, Aug. 25. Published by 505 Games and developed by Kids With Sticks, Rogue Spirit is a visually stunning single player game with light stealth elements, randomized perks and varying gameplay styles, ensuring that no two playthroughs of Rogue Spirit will feel the same.
The two companies have just released a free demo of Rogue Spirit for Steam Next Fest, which will be available from June 16 until the game launches in Early Access on Aug. 25, 2021.
RS builds upon the rogue-lite genre, typically seen in a 2D perspective, and adapts it into a gorgeously rendered 3D world inspired by anime, Japanese and Southeast Asian cultures. Players will assume the form of the ghost of the former Prince of Midra, possessing enemy characters and absorbing their skills to free the land from a looming, ever-present evil threat.
The world of RS is ever changing, making each run of the game feel personal depending on the player’s chosen playstyle. Traversing through 10 procedurally generated levels within five unique biomes, the rogue spirit of Rogue Spirit absorbs enemy abilities utilizing the game’s possession mechanic, taking on 20 distinctive enemies, each with their own specialized abilities, weapons and upgrades. Each defeated foe’s key characteristics and possessions can be absorbed and adapted into the player’s character. Whether it be to get up close and personal or fighting from a distance, player choice is endless in this creative take on the rogue-lite genre.
