About the Game

Rogue Worlds is a roguelite platformer where you use the environment and creative abilities to overcome challenges. You'll need planning, wits and reflexes to make a way through these ever-changing death labyrinths.

The game provides a free (lite) edition of Aura of Worlds, with a shorter campaign and shared progress.

Explore strange biomes, escape flooding poison, outwit gargantuan bosses. Do you play defensively with a repeater and energy shield, or swing into the fray with a boomerang and grapple hook? Do you scour the levels for potions and runes; or dive headfirst into the chaos?
Along the way, unlock starting gear options, shortcuts, character perks, pets, and more. The friends you rescue on your journey will help you. Each procedurally generated run presents new hazards, layouts, and tactical decisions. You can further customize your build with runes, and gear modifiers that synergize in a myriad of ways. Veterans can push their limits by disabling perks or cranking up the difficulty for greater challenges—and greater rewards.

Features

  • Diverse Level Themes: Tidal corridors lined with mines, flickering lights in underground ruins, rising lava pits, and carnivorous gardens. Each environment brings unique dangers and opportunities.

  • Creative Abilities: Master parkour, cloak from enemies, or even enthrall foes to fight on your side.

  • Multi-Use Objects: Light your way with a lantern—or throw it as an improvised flaming Molotov.

  • Challenging Boss Fights: Outsmart colossal adversaries by using both your reflexes and the environment to your advantage.

  • Handcrafted Pixel Art & Animations: Beautifully detailed pixel visuals bring the world to life.

  • Unique Musical Score: An immersive soundtrack that evolves with your adventure.

  • Permanent Progression: Unlock new items, character backgrounds, and more to customize your journey.

And much more awaits…
