About the Game

Step into the chaotic world of Ravensdale, a once-thriving medieval city that has descended into madness. After the discovery of "goop," a mysterious substance that powered everything from diesel engines to skin cream, the people of Ravensdale transformed into violent, bloodthirsty monsters. The only hope for this crumbling city is you and your group of eccentric knights, ready to go on a relentless killing spree to restore order and uncover the dark secrets behind this transformation.

Gameplay

Rogue Stormers offers a perfect blend of classic run-and-gun action, a modern art style, and twin-stick shooter mechanics. The game incorporates elements of rogue-like gameplay, ensuring that each playthrough offers a fresh challenge. You and up to three friends can team up in either online or local couch co-op modes, making it easy to dive into the action with friends. Together, your mission is to defeat the ultimate evil threatening Ravensdale, but to do so, you must survive through seven increasingly difficult levels.

Each time you die, you will start from the beginning, but not without your earned perks. These carry over, making your character stronger with every new raid. The game’s unique technology allows for the combination of level chunks to create infinitely replayable levels. With each session, you’ll face new enemy layouts, hazards, and loot, ensuring that no two runs are the same. The world is filled with numerous weapons, upgrades, and special abilities that provide varied playstyles and strategies.

In addition to the core gameplay, there are five unlockable character classes, each with its own abilities, base weapons, and skill sets. As you explore the city’s vast underground and battle through the monstrous hordes, you'll uncover the tragic histories of both the city’s citizens and the five heroes you control. The deeper you venture, the more you’ll learn about the dark past that has shaped this decaying city.
