/ Stephen CraneChute Apps have released their “Bullet Hell Insanity + Tower Defense Strategy” game on Steam as a full release. Version 1.0 of the game comes with new items, guns, and improvements and is currently enjoying 20% off at the time of writing. We’ll be discussing the game on Episode 177 of our Podcast (out the week of February 17th), so make sure to tune in for our thoughts!
It's time to bring roguelikes to the next level! Rogue Star Rescue is a unique mix of bullet hell roguelike and tower defense games. We're adding strong strategy elements to the all-out insanity of bullet hell shooters. The action is smooth, the gameplay is challenging, the story is complex and nonlinear. It's a game you'll get sucked into, and will end up spending months exploring the multiple intricacies and outcomes. Keeping the game fun well past the 50-hour mark is our core design focus.
