Evaluation

SNKRX launched on May 17, 2021 and received a burst of weekly major content updates in its first two months: the QoL Update (May 29, 2021), Sorcerer Update (June 5, 2021), Mercenary Update (June 11, 2021), Item Update (June 18, 2021), Orb Update (June 25, 2021), and Loop Update (July 4, 2021). During this period the developer had promised a larger "Stat Update" rewrite that would overhaul the game's core systems, followed by a "Roguelite Update." On July 1, 2022, the developer posted a direct statement cancelling the promised rewrite update entirely, explaining that the project had been overscoped and that motivation had run out. The post explicitly states: "from now on the game will remain in the state it is now and I'll move on to other projects" and "there will be no more updates to this game from me." The developer also noted the game's source code is available on GitHub for community contributions, but no further official Steam updates have been made since that announcement. This is a clear and unambiguous developer statement that development has concluded. The game is complete as of July 1, 2022.

About this game

SNKRX is an arcade shooter roguelite where you control a snake made of multiple heroes, with each one having their own attacks, passives and classes. Inspired by the auto-battler genre, each hero in the snake has a set of classes, and combining enough heroes of the same class together grants additional class bonuses. Heroes can also be upgraded to be more powerful when copies are bought from the shop.

Gameplay

  • Your snake can't stop moving, turn it left or right to steer
  • Your heroes attack automatically when close to enemies
  • Combine heroes of the same classes together to unlock unique class bonuses
  • Clearing arenas grants gold, which can be used to hire heroes at the shop
  • Buying enough copies of the same heroes levels them up, making them more powerful

Features

  • 40+ heroes, each with unique attacks and passives
  • 12+ classes, each giving stat boosts and modifiers to your snake
  • 40+ passive items, each giving strong global effects to your snake
  • 25+ levels of increasing difficulty as the run progresses
  • 15+ Steam achievements
  • Soundtrack by Kubbi
