Arcen Games is proud and excited to announce the launch of its latest release, Starward Rogue – available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux on Steam and Humble Store. A roguelite labyrinth lodged in the side of a star. Dodge gorgeous waves of bullets, claim weapons and upgrades, defeat The Warden, and rescue… Rodney?
“Starward Rogue is a passion project designed not just by myself but by a team of other hardcore fans of this subgenre,” Arcen Founder and Starward Rogue lead designer Chris Park states.
“We have several thousand hours in similar games, and we wanted to do something excitingly new without being completely alien. We had a very tight timeline, so as far as the rest of the world is concerned this game is coming out of nowhere. After months of crunch-mode development we’re still finding it hard to stop playing after each run, so hopefully you enjoy it as well as we do!”
“Were it up to me, it’d be labeled a “bullet-filled explosion factory with items and stuff,”” Misery, designer of the game’s Misery difficulty, adds.
Starward Rogue is 10% off through launch week, with the discount ending on January 29. Additionally, Steam users with either Bionic Dues or A Valley Without Wind in their games library will automatically receive an additional 15% off their purchase. A coupon with the same additional discount is offered to Humble Store customers that own any of Arcen’s prior releases – all of which can currently be picked up with major discounts as part of Humble’s Winter Sale.
