Tags: Streets of Rogue 2; tinyBuild Games

tinyBuild has posted the Official Gameplay Trailer of their upcoming sequel to Streets of Rogue, which was pretty damned fun and ported to nearly everything. It highlights things such as how the sequel will be Open World, some of the many classes, vehicles, farming, Co-op couping, and lots and lots of destruction.



The first one was pretty damned underrated considering the crazy amount of freedom of choice you had in how you wanted to handle things. Pretty much every mechanic you could think of was tossed in to it. I'd say most people dismissed this title because it was somewhat zany and the pixel graphics, but they missed out. The original game is on sale right now for $4.99 on Steam, or you get it on GoG for $3.99. Well worth it.

Thanks, Taka-Haradin puolipeikko!

Yup, the first one was great, I still play it from time to time. If I were to critique one thing about it, I thought that some characters were overly gimmicky and railroaded you into certain playstyles. I hope they improve on that in the sequel.
Anyway, it's a :d1p:for me.

Kind of like the Gorilla? Honestly, I think some of those classes were put in there as a straight up joke. The Gorilla is right up there with that notion considering the back story is that the people are furious that the mayor outlawed beer. Of course, the Gorilla could just be mad because it was locked up in a lab, but I like to think it's pissed off because there's no beer.

I do like the throwback aspect of being able to unlock new classes by doing certain things within the game, even if some are fairly goofy.

Looks pretty fun. The first one is in my Steam library. Don't even remember picking it up. Might give it a whirl.
