Reviews

“Super clean and streamlined Sci-fi roguelike without all the cryptic baggage. Definitely a hidden gem that I hope gets more exposure.”
5/5 – Google Play Store

“The hunger mechanics are well-balanced, and the inventory management (you can only carry 6 pieces of equipment) is a hit. You have to be very resourceful”
5/5 – Google Play Store

“Love the scifi roguelike so rare to find one!”
4/5 – Google Play Store

About This Game

Balance futuristic hand weapons, armour, chemicals, nanotech, medkits and food as you battle increasingly dangerous aliens from outer space.

WHAT MAKES ASTEROGUE DIFFERENT

Asterogue is a traditional roguelike, not a roguelite. It focuses on the core loop that made Rogue great: explore, fight, loot, die, learn, repeat. No meta-progression, no permanent upgrades between runs - just pure skill and knowledge.

The game is deliberately minimal. You won't find kitchen-sink complexity here. Instead, Asterogue offers carefully tuned mechanics with juicy animations and game-feel that make every action satisfying.

STORY

One thousand years of peace have ended. You lost everything in The Great War. An old man in a dive bar tells of ancient aliens who returned to drain all goodness from the galaxy into their Cursed Orb. He sketches a map on a napkin and vanishes. Days later, you crash-land on an asteroid. Faced with death on the surface or the unknown within, you descend into the heart of the asteroid...

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Asterogue is a solo indie game made by a developer who grew up on Nethack and Rogue. It was built over 10 weeks as a love letter to the roguelike genre, focusing on what makes these games timeless: procedural generation, meaningful choices, and the thrill of permadeath.
