Asterogue

really solid classic roguelike with a retro charm and enough mystique to keep exploring yet not overwhelming, nicely compact. Never have I eaten so much choccy on a space adventure. works great on steam deck too btw

I played this for the first time and got to level 8, then a few games later I died on level one. It looks simple and plays easy. But it is suprisingly complex. Make sure you load up the goods when you get them. The disks and nanotech usually enhance what you are wearing, so make sure you are wearing things when you activate them. Don't drink the plasma, but the goonies is really good. I don't know what the copper does. I usually back away and then attack to kill the pod queen. Post comments to let me know any other insights you have.

Asterogue is an amazing game. It has both the simplicity of a roguelike pixel game with retro feeling and sufficient complexity to keep you going through its 17 levels, with new creatures appearing as well as new weapons, armour, potions and food. The levels are new every time you play, so you can literally get to the end and start again anew without feeling bored. I thoroughly recommend.

Very fun little roguelike with a great theme. It's a bit on the light side content wise, but I hear there is more in store for it. You can definitely tell that the developer appreciates and focuses on quality in all aspects, gameplay, sound design and graphics etc. I very much look forward to see what the dev brings in the future.

Great little traditional roguelike, super difficult, lots to learn as you progress! I only made it to the 9th stage :( Disclaimer: I was sponsored to showcase Asterogue, but I enjoyed my time with the game (#ad)

This is a pretty fun roguelike with some retro vibes that was quite addicting! I found it had just the right amount of challenge for me.

This is a cute retro-style dungeon diving game. It was simple to pick up and play, and I found the difficulty didn't challence me quite as much as I hoped, but this is definitely an approchable game for the average player.

Very fun , quick "coffee break " RL , with a soundtrack by a gifted composer (Holst)!

A retro, minimalist sci-fi roguelike that nails the “just one more run” loop. Quick 20–30 minute sessions, tight turn-based combat, and smart resource management keep things engaging. A small but polished hidden gem for classic roguelike fans.

Fun roguelike with great retro vibes that keeps things fresh with procedural generation! Also a friendly introduction to players who like myself, haven't played a lot of roguelikes and I find myself wondering more about what certain weapons and items mean the more I play and come across different objects. Everytime I play I get more strategic and have made it up to level 11 so far!
