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.
