Woe

About

Woe is a rogue-like RPG where you fight through procedurally generated dungeons using real-time combat. Each run sees you scavenging weapons, tools, and weird trinkets to survive increasingly chaotic encounters. Battles play out in a gallery-style arena where timing and positioning matter. You'll experiment with loadouts between runs, since permadeath ensures every choice carries weight. The randomly generated levels keep the challenge fresh but punishing. The game's strength lies in its brutal pacing and varied enemy designs. Procedural generation means no two runs feel the same, though some players find this reduces long-term appeal. Launched in late 2023 for PC, it's a compact experience clocking in around 15-20 hours for completionists. The art style leans surreal but the lack of voice acting keeps production values feeling modest.
