About McRogue
It’s time to rage against the machines…
An army of marauding robots travels the universe leaving every world they conquer desolate, polluted and drained of its resources. Only one person stands in their way: McRogue.
Once a prisoner of the robots and permanently disfigured from their grotesque experiments, McRogue used their own technology against them to escape. He’s now ready to turn the tables and use the giant robotic fists fused onto his arms to take revenge and save his planet.
He’s angry… He’s ready for some payback… Are you?
McRogue is a combat exploration game from Snare Games inspired by some of the amazing 2D roguelikes available on Steam. We wanted to mix roguelike elements with approachable melee combat and exploration in a 3D world.

[h1]Introduction[/h1] McRogue is the debut title from indie developer, Snare Games. There's no in-game backstory provided yet, but from the store page I understand the gist of the game is that you play McRogue, a human-turned-cyborg by a never-ending army of robots that travels the universe attacking and pillaging planets, leaving them worthless husks. You're the only one who can stop them, apparently, though I'm not entirely sure why. [h1]Presentation[/h1] In terms of presentation, at the moment McRogue feels very much like the Early Access title it is. There's no introductory cut scene, no backstory, no tutorial, no help, ... . In fact, in terms of introduction, there's not much at all. The game has a single game mode -- survival -- and when you start it dumps you into the game world with a "find the teleporter" prompt, and that's it. The game is played from a fixed camera position, with fixed zoom and rotation, in a sort-of three-quarter overhead view. It appears to be rendered in full 3D, with a sort-of stylised heavy-edged triangle look that makes it look much more low-poly than it is. Everything moves along at a good rate and it all looks rather nice, but the lack of camer…6 found this helpful
EDIT 08/02/2018 - Looks like this was fixed the DAY after so absolutely no complaints now :) The first thing to say about this game... It does EXACTLY what it says on the tin! I streamed this as a first impressions type of game, expecting a punching shotting madman killing robots and that's exactly what I got. The game is a super super fun way to waste some time however I did have a couple of issues... As you can see from the video attached we got to a point in the game that was completely broken, I could literally one shot everything and not die. Getting to this point allowed me to just run through the game and just wreck shop, my gun even seemed to hit pretty much in a circle around me taking the difficulty away. However if this is fixed we will see an amazing game come out of it and I cannot wait to follow the dev process! If anyone wants to check out my first impressions you can do so here :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5VS6Zd_zZw1 found this helpful
McFeeble. If you can get it for 20p its prob worth it.
Horrible
This game so far has only a few controls. It is very easy to get used to and with only a limited amount of controls you can be a badass punching and dashing around. If you want to be a badass with awesome graphics pick this game up!
Its dynamic, its huge and very well optimized !
