About the Game

Retroneer is a puzzling circuit-building roguelite all about tinkering with your components, crafting powerful synergies, and seeing how far it can take you!

Tinker, Tailor, Solder... Why?

Intelligently utilize every tool at your disposal: Modules, Trinkets, Runners, Scrap and Frames. Each of these components can layer, connect, and synergize to turbocharge your system and create huge, adrenaline-pumping sequences.

As you create more and more complex boards, you will start uncovering the secrets behind Amplitude’s technology… And the sacrifices that were made in its name.

A Fun RIFF On The Formula

RIFFs, or Runner Integration Functional Frames, are modular electrical circuits made up of multiple runners working together. These are the “boards” that you will assemble during gameplay. Build each circuit according to the layout & energy output requested by customers, and surpass your limits to contend with their ever more demanding requests.

Approachable Depth

Retroneer is built with a minimalist and intuitive system that can be picked up and enjoyed in minutes, however the game's strategies and synergies run deep. Optimisation is possible at every decision point, and rewards players who truly master the systems.

A Mountain of Satisfying Secrets

As you build your circuits by hand, you’ll be accompanied by delightful thocks, clicks, and whirs from the immersive and detailed world of your workbench. Chase higher and higher numbers, going above and beyond, not for the customers but for the thrill of the high score. Your reward? A trove of unlockable Trinkets, Modules, and Characters that will keep each run fresh, challenging, and rewarding! Mysterious bonus requests might also start appearing on your PDA… Are you up to the challenge?
