About Project Rogue
Created by programming students at the Academy of Art University on our free time, Project Rogue is a roguelite, first-person dungeon crawler inspired by classic RPGs with a modern touch. Explore the endless dungeon as you kill monsters, level up, and collect loot. The dungeon is procedurally generated so it will always be a different experience. Find magic items to improve your character so that you can survive boss fights in deeper levels. The class you select determines your starting equipment, and then you choose how your character progresses. Will you play a hardened fighter wielding two-handed weapons? Or perhaps a spell caster that overwhelms enemies with magic? You are in control.

The assets look a bit like they're flipped store assets, another problem. The developers abandoned this over a year ago, it will never be completed. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bo…1 found this helpful
A decent foundation, but the lack of options (which result in audio being impossibly low to hear) definitely wasn't all that great. I love me some roguelikes and DRPGs, though, and I'm curious to see where this one goes.
