Viking Vengeance This Year [Jul 09, 2020, 10:44 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
It's starting to feel like Vikings are the new zombies, isn't it? Romanian
developer Lowpoly Interactive announces Viking Vengeance, "a
narrative-driven rogue-lite dungeon crawler in which you use the power of the
Gods to stop the Templar Oppression." This is planned for release
on Steam
in Q3 of this year. Inspired by Norse mythology, word is "the game takes place
in an alternate history with many twists and new mechanics within a lowpoly
cartoonish world." This
video shows off what they mean. Here's a description:
An ARPG with Gods and rogue-lite elements.
Turn into avatars of Gods during battles and wield Thor’s hammer, use Loki's mischief skills or Odin's power to crush your enemies.
Features
- Worship Norse Gods to earn their aid in battle and become their avatar.
- Use Idol Statues and collect rune stones to receive more God Skills.
- Unique level up system with a variety of skills, talents and items.
- 2 different Afterlife paths to choose from when you die.
- Execute enemies to restore your health or gain extra blood.
- Use the environment and game physics in your favor.

Hades is also a narrative driven rogue lite... can work, this one though.. when recording your trailer, maybe make sure your game doesn't have random hangs?

Isn't narrative driven sort of the opposite of rogue-like?
I wouldn't say they're necessarily opposites or mutually exclusive. Ken Levine is currently working on a narrative-driven roguelike currently, for example. The narrative will apparently be procedurally generated as well as responsive to playing actions.

Ah yes. Why bother making a game at all, if you aren't going to make it rogue-lite/rogue-like?
