Beat up planets in this cosmic bullet hell shoot-em-up hybrid! Pick your character from a band of outcasts banished to the Asteroid Belt, and take revenge against the Solar System!
Cast out by the Sun itself, each rebel must use their unique power along with the items and weapons they collect to beat their way to the center of the Solar System and get revenge. Across various zones, swarms of asteroids, aliens, and stars attempt to crush the rebellion - and only the most adept fighter stands a chance of avoiding their endless onslaught. And even then, the 8 planets stand vigilant over their territories, ready to destroy any tresspassers that dare to pass. Are you strong enough to deliver retribution?
Each character has their own bone to pick with the Sun, and their own special ability to turn enemies' bullets against them! Unlock and master each character!
Find dozens of unique passive and active items during your run, create powerful synergies, and get a new experience each time you play!
The Solar System is packed full of loyal Sun-worshippers firing their own unique projectiles! Learn each bullet and each enemy pattern to stand a chance of winning!
The 8 planets control the Solar System under the Sun's command. You'll have to take them down before you get a chance at the Sun itself!

I appreciate the effort, and it's clearly trying to take things in slightly new directions so kudos for that, but I didn't really find it fun. The combat just felt clunky and it just makes everything else irrelevant at that point.3 found this helpful

It is a charming game with a lot of replayability, you fight in dungeons, unlock chests, discover new items to aid you in overcoming the odds, unlock characters with different abilities that play differently and all in all it is a great fun with randomnly constructed dungeons and rng bulids. As someone with many many hours in Enter the Gungeons I can't help but notice how simular the two games are and appreciate it's existence, but the comparison also highlights how much of a better experience I've had with Enter the Gungeon. Maybe I am being unfair, the Gungeons is a real gem for me full of wit, charm and a great bit of love put into it, and Asterogues is trying to be the same but the movement is clunky, slow and it is annoying at times when you get hit by things you are sure you have dodged. Add to that the chest explosion mechanic that not only requires you to have a key to unlock chests to unlock items in dungeons runs, but to also sacrifice 3/5 of your health for the rng gamble and chests become anxiety inducing rather than treasure troves of excitement for item combination like in gungeon. That said, the game is a solid addition to Indie bullet hell titles and if you can o…
The art is cool, and the gameplay is fun enough. Obviously inspired by Enter the Gungeon (is there a better bullet-hell roguelike?). But it's also kinda rough around the edges - some items don't work as intended, the respawn system is a little weird (not giving you all of your items back if you do respawn), and the aim-assist doesn't work perfectly but I wasn't able to turn it all the way off. Tentative recommend.
Co-op is super buggy. Orion (character) frequently loses his weapon and can't fight. When 1 player dies, sometimes there's an invisible wall the living player can't pass until you revive the dead one. Sometimes one player teleports to another with no explanation. And all of this is on local co-op, which means none of it can be blamed on connection issues. Also the revive mechanic is incredibly punishing - you lose half your health [i]capacity[/i] which effectively means your run is done. Fun idea, unique combat, but unfortunately no fun in co-op.
game is cool
