Ultros boasts backgrounds that look to be straight out of the acid-rock era. Their website, at ULTROS - Available now on PS5, PS4 and PC (ultrosgame.com) is full of some great surprises too. With so many releases in 2024, it is only possible to cover some of them. The games above stand out for various reasons, but many other great new Roguelikes are dropping this year. If you feel like taking an electric Kool-Aid psychedelic trip through the cosmos, crank up some Jefferson Airplane and dive into the wonky world of
Ultros. Stuck in an endless time loop aboard a hijacked spaceship, you must sneak through kaleidoscopic corridors without waking the demon-beast Ultros imprisoned on board.
If
Ultros sounds too trippy, why not check out the endless slasher
Death Must Die? In this game, you take on hordes of undead enemies while leveling up your player. Akin to
Vampire Slayers, this is a no-nonsense, action-packed game that anyone can get into in just a few minutes.
Rounding out our list is
The Lightless World, which is geared towards the evil-minded player. Unlike most stories, this one is told from your perspective as the villain. This twist of tradition makes for a dark experience as you fight as a demon warrior and wreak havoc on the good-for-nothing human race. The game is in early access and is expected to be released fully later this year!
Whether you want to take a somber journey through the desert, a trip (pun intended) to space, or gamble with your settlers’ lives in the Blightstorm, the Roguelike genre has you covered. 2024 has great releases, each with its own art style, setting, and storytelling mechanics.
Argentics hopes you will check out some of the titles we picked out above!
