Rogue Continuum

About

Rogue Continuum is a co-op roguelike shooter that mixes turn-based strategy with chaotic combat. Play as one of four oddball soldiers, think a snarky marine, a frosty marksman, a murderous robot, or a sword-wielding nobleman, battling alien threats across procedurally generated planets. Each run sends your team 28 days into the past to erase existential threats, with permadeath keeping things tense. Upgrade abilities between attempts and tweak weapon blueprints to survive increasingly brutal waves of enemies. Split-screen or online co-op lets you team up with three friends for chaotic group play. The game’s charm comes from its quirky cast and tight tactical loops. Community reviews praise the mix of strategic planning and explosive action, with 75% of players on Steam rating it positive. While the sci-fi narrative leans into over-the-top camp, the roguelike progression and varied playstyles keep runs fresh. It’s a brisk, replayable fix for fans of team-based strategy shooters with a dash of dark humor.

Storyline

It’s the year 2890 AD and Earth just got blown into tiny pieces by an unknown alien force. Humanity’s only hope are an elite strike force of galactic super soldiers who fortuitously managed to escape on a prototype spaceship that can travel back in time by 28 days. Turning back the clock with no idea as to who the assailants were/are/will be, they do the sensible thing and decide to kill all hostile alien races to make sure. Go solo or team up with up to three friends for intense roguelike planet-crawling action. Choose from four distinct characters each with their own play-style, weapons and abilities. Earn XP to upgrade each character’s stats and abilities between runs and find blueprints to unlock and upgrade weapons in the Armory.
