Back in July 2015 we reported on a new game coming our way from a former Triple-A game developer called Swipey Rogue. This was going to be their first mobile release but at the time the game was still being developer. We did get to play an early build of it though, and its pretty fun.
[UPDATE: Wednesday, August 26th, 11:17 AM, PST] Swipey Rogue, the auto-running dungeon crawler maze game is now available to download in the Google Play Store. This is a title we are pretty excited about and glad to finally get our hands on. If you are interested, you can download the game for Google Play for free. The game does include optional IAP’s. The link to download the game can be found at the end of this article.
Swipey Rogue, for those that missed our previous coverage, is an auto-running dungeon crawler mixed with puzzle gameplay and swipe controls. Essentially you need to figure each area out, navigating through it safely while collecting loot and killing any of that monsters that are in your way. There’s actually some RPG mechanic involved as well since your character levels up and becomes stronger.
The entire game is procedurally generated, so not only is the entire dungeon randomly created each time you enter one, but each room inside the dungeon is as well. There are two game modes available to play through: Challenge Saga and Free Running.
Challenge Saga mode:
– 200 Hand Crafted (non-random) Challenge Rooms
– 4 Themed Areas with unique Gameplay Mechanics
– Per Room, Per Area, and Global Progression Stats
– High Score, Speed Run Leaderboards and Achievements
– Video Replays
Free Running mode:
– Procedurally Generated Caverns of Procedurally Generated Rooms
– Unlock Areas in Challenge Saga mode to be included in Rogue Run mode’s Caverns
– Dynamic Character Build (xp gain yields perk choice unlock, many perks to choose/experiment)
– Perma-Death (run ’till you die, go as far as you can)
– High Score Leaderboard and Achievements
So, if you have been waiting for this game to get released, you won’t have to wait much longer. Swipey Rogue is slated for release on August 20th if all goes well between now and then. If not, then it will be released on August 27th instead. When it does arrive, Swipey Rogue will be available for download for free. There will be optional IAPs to remove ads only, but there will be different pricing ($0.99-$4.99) for this so you can support the developer with the amount you like. In the meantime, you can check out the new launch trailer below.
