Evaluation

Rogue Voltage launched into version 1.0 on May 1, 2026, after roughly two years in Early Access and seven years of total development by solo developer Luca at Horizont Computergrafik. The 1.0 launch post was explicit: "Is this the end of the development of the game? NO!" The developer framed 1.0 as a functional milestone and a way to bring additional revenue to the studio, while stating clear intent to continue adding content. Since launch, the developer has followed through with a consistent pattern of post-1.0 updates. Update 26 (the Spark Plug Update) shipped on June 13, 2026, introducing a new module type, multiple module reworks, balance changes, and new achievements. Update 27 (the Turn Rewind Update) followed on July 17, 2026, adding a turn rewind mechanic, a new camp vending machine, further module balance changes, 12 new achievements, and enemy adjustments. A hotfix addressing several bugs was then posted on August 3, 2026 — the most recent developer communication. That's two substantial content updates in approximately two and a half months since launch, establishing a clear and active post-launch update rhythm. The one-month anniversary post from May 23, 2026 was candid about modest sales and financial tightness, but the developer confirmed that all revenue goes directly to continued development. No studio closure or funding crisis has been declared, and the developer's engagement with the community remains strong. The game currently holds 646 reviews at 92% positive.

About this game

Craft your own skills by wiring up modules. Some generate energy, others amplify or store it, and others convert it into effects. Pick from over 150 unique modules to construct crazy machines, discover devastating synergies, and create overpowered builds.

Connect the right modules and watch chaos unfold: Energy cascades through your circuits, triggering satisfying chain reactions. Feel like a mad scientist as you tinker, experiment, and discover new ways to amplify your power.

Every turn you have to decide where you want to put your energy: Into your blaster module? Do you have to crack a healing potion? Or do you store energy in a battery to prepare an even bigger move next turn?

Turns can be tactically pushed and pulled forward or backward in time: Dodge volcano eruptions and lightning strikes, slip before your enemies on the timeline or throw them into a devastating Grav-Spike.

Your adventure leads you through strange biomes where tricky enemies try to ruin your day. Compose your racks wisely to deal with the procedurally generated and progressively dangerous threats.

Between runs, return to your camp to upgrade buildings and unlock permanent progression. Store your favorite modules, expand your collection, and even build your own custom character.
