The graphics have the style of Prison Architect while the gameplay is Deus Ex via Hotline Miami: Streets of Rogue has a lot of nifty aspects from these games, but with a twist: every new level is totally different from any you’ve seen before.Įvery new level is its own totally new procedurally generated ecosystem, but each one offers countless routes to achieve each level’s objectives. It’s a nice break from the weighty choices of other roguelikes and RPGs to know that you can pretty much cause destruction without guilt since the universe you’re situated in is so sardonically, and amusingly, violent. The comedic tone is firmly established right from the tutorial level, where a resistance leader is so shocked and excited at you being able to successfully open doors and use WASD to move around he literally explodes into a crimson shower of meaty goblets. The totally non-serious plot of Streets of Rogue was honestly something of a relief when I started playing. Of course, this degree of heinousness gives you full moral license to achieve your goal of liberating the city from the mayor’s grip any way you see fit, whether it’s through stealth and guile or blowing up entire city blocks with a rocket launcher.

Streets of Rogue is actually MORE chaotic than Streets of Rage ![]()
