Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos Review for Nintendo Switch | A LINK TO THE PAST?
70Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos Review for Nintendo Switch
Created by Heliocentric Studios, Rogue Heroes began as a prototype with a 16-bit infinite dungeon started with a small winter project in 2015. In October 2016 it went into full development and in October 2019 it was officially announced that the game would be published by Team17. On May 5th 2020 a free demo was released on Steam which contained the tutorial, one dungeon and some upgradable skills and buildings. On the 23rd of February 2021, the game fully released on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Inspired by classic 16-bit games like Link to the Past and Harvest Moon, Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos features classic top down sword slashing combat with a large set of tools, spells, and weapons at your disposal. With many classes to choose from, fight through dungeons each with their own style, room layouts and unique dangers. The dungeons are procedurally generated to connect handmade rooms and mix up the layout so no two runs are the same. Keys, puzzles, and traps are mixed up, even within the same rooms things won't always play out the same way. Combining randomization with hand placement gives replayability without the drawbacks of uninteresting design that can come from full random generation.
Play in solo or in online coop with up to 4 players through the entire campaign beginning to end. Build up your village into a bustling community, take down the dungeons that threaten the outer areas and collect tools to open up your world. Max out your Hero and take them into the infinite dungeon to see how they stack up against a never-ending onslaught of enemies, traps, and puzzles.
