Evaluation
Roundguard launched on March 13, 2020 and received a strong run of free post-launch content updates: the Treasure Hunter Update (July 24, 2020), the Gift Giver Update (December 16, 2020), the Druid Update adding a new playable hero (June 24, 2021), and finally the Encore 2.0 Update (April 28, 2022), which the developer described as their "biggest update of them all" and explicitly framed as a capstone — noting it brought the game "up to a solid version 2.0, two years after we first launched" and summarizing the full arc of additions made over the game's life. No further major content updates have shipped since April 28, 2022. The developer's March 13, 2023 anniversary post confirmed that after completing the mobile port of Roundguard, the team would "go back to working on our new game," signaling that Roundguard's development chapter was closing. On June 8, 2025, the developer formally announced their next game, Arcane Eats, describing "years of updates and support for Roundguard" in the past tense. Seasonal events (like the December 2025 winter event) have continued as recurring in-game content, but these were established as an annual tradition back in 2020 and do not represent new development commitments. The only DLC listed is the soundtrack, which has been released. All evidence points to Roundguard having reached its content-complete state with the Encore 2.0 Update on April 28, 2022.

About this game

An all-round bouncy adventure! If you love roguelikes & Peggle, then Roundguard is for you.
Castle Springbottom is under attack and it’s up to the Roundguard to save the king and -- more importantly -- recover his gold! Fling your hero into the face of danger and bounce off hordes of dangerously cute monsters to reach the bottom of the dungeon. You only have one life, so you’ll need to learn how to navigate the dungeon’s hazards, master your hero’s skills, and make strategic choices if you hope to defeat the final boss. But don’t worry, the Roundguard always bounces back!
- Bouncy Fun: Intuitive pinball physics based gameplay like no other dungeon crawler.
- Multiple Classes: Play as the Warrior, the Rogue, the Wizard, or the Druid each with their own unique skills, items, and cheeky sense of humor.
- Randomized Dungeon: Each time you play, the world map and every level are procedurally generated, and quest events and elite monsters are randomly placed. It’s a new experience every time.
- Permadeath with Benefits: Each time you die, you’ll have a chance to bring a special trinket with you on your next run to help even the odds. The more gold you grab before dying, the better your chances to collect one of the most powerful trinkets for your next run.
- A Cast of Oddballs: Chat with the castle’s colorful cast to pick up quests and learn why some rats want their king dead, what’s irritating the local teenage skeleton today, or what the Warrior will do if you can’t get to a bathroom quickly enough.
- Lots of Loot: Over 200 items and trinkets, each with effects that present strategic choices and combo possibilities. Rare and legendary items have randomly chosen bonus properties, so each one feels special.
- Show Off Your Skills: Compete on the leaderboards and try to master all the challenging, rule-bending relics. Test yourself in the daily and weekly challenges to earn new rewards and bragging rights. Earn all the Encore roses in an escalating series of difficulty ranks for each hero.
