There is a trait that makes you speedier. Then it throws a bunch of items, character traits, and character allegiances into the mix. Otherwise the people you’ve provoked will beat you to death as you recover. There is a werewolf who can transform into his raging animal form and tear people apart (you use the mouse to aim and click swipes) but when his wolfy form wears off he becomes dizzy and unable to move for a few seconds, so you better have killed absolutely everyone by the time it wears off. There are bartenders, cannibals, jocks, ninjas. The characters range from a thief with impostor syndrome to an investment banker who has to keep taking cocaine to stay alive. More importantly, you unlock new characters by doing certain tasks, like spending a lot of money or, say, killing a ghost. After each death you can buy new traits and gadgets for your next attempt with the chicken nuggets you've earned. Your goal is to take down the corrupt mayor at the very top. “Like a lasagna,” says the boss of your resistance group. Because this city is actually a tower, built in multiple layers. Complete the missions, using the powers of your character and any items you find, and then take the elevator to the next floor. It is a ridiculous mini-immersive sim that plops you into slums and industrial hellzones with rando missions like “neutralise this drug dealer” or “press three buttons in this deathtrap maze ha ha”. Streets Of Rogue is a pixelly top-down roguelike set in a randomly generated city where the mayor has banned chicken nuggets and thus created a black market currency of processed McNugs.
Your character is a comedian after all, it’ll make everyone happy. Amid such bedlam, what do you do as a player of Streets Of Rogue? You tell a joke. And an ape, recently escaped from captivity, is calmly watching it all, unable to speak the language of these terrible people. A red-shirted gangster has started an ill-advised stabbing match with three members of a rival blue gang. There is a police officer beating a slum dweller.
