While I never heard of this title before, Rogue Stormers, it definitely has my attention now. From the Black Forest Games camp, comes a game that combines the elements of several of my favorite game types; Platforming, Run and Gun / SHMUP’s and Rogue_like, Rogue Stormers looks like a lot of fun, at least in the conception department. To me it looks like a Contra x Gun Star Heroes x Metal Slug mash-up and there’s nothing wrong with that. Toss in some procedurally generated levels, meaning every game you will be different, some fast paced action and some WTF moments and you have a fun party game.
Set to be shown off during the upcoming 2016 PAX South convention (Jan 29-31) and slated for sale on March 24 2016, Rogue Stormers also includes a co-op mode that allows you to play with up to four players either off-line (couch gaming) or on-line and will retail for $19.99 / $29.99 for a 2-pack / $49.99 for a 4-pack.
