Streets of Rogue

Released Jul 2019

Fight, sneak, and hack your way through randomly generated cities. It's like Nuclear Throne meets Deus Ex, mixed with the anarchy of GTA. Rogue-lite meets immersive sim, and goes completely insane.

Evaluation

Streets of Rogue launched out of Early Access on July 12, 2019 after over five years in development. Following launch, it received two notable post-launch content updates: a Level Editor with Steam Workshop support (January 9, 2020) and a Character Pack DLC adding six new playable characters (April 29, 2020). All three DLC items listed on the store are released, with the Character Pack being the most recent. After April 2020, the developer shifted focus almost entirely to Streets of Rogue 2, which was announced in October 2022 and has been in development since. The original game continued to receive occasional bug fix patches — most recently a significant Version 99 update on July 10, 2025 that revamped the multiplayer codebase following a matchmaking service shutdown. In that July 2025 post, the developer stated: "While my main focus is currently on SOR2, I'm hoping to do more updates to SOR1 in the future. There's plenty of opportunity to back-port some of my work from SOR2 into SOR1." This is an expression of personal interest rather than a firm commitment to additional content — no specific updates, DLC, or roadmap for SOR1 were announced. The developer's primary focus is clearly on the sequel. With no unreleased DLC, no announced future content for Streets of Rogue 1, and a developer statement confirming the sequel is the main priority, the game is effectively complete as of the Character Pack DLC release in April 2020.

About this game

Streets of Rogue is a rogue-lite about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from fast-paced top-down rogue-lites like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne, and adds free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent gameplay elements of RPGs like Deus Ex.

Rather than taking place in a dungeon, the game is set in a functioning, procedurally generated city, where complex AI informs denizens from all walks of life, who are just trying to get by in their daily activities.

In order to progress, the player will need to accomplish specific mission goals in any way they see fit through use of their special character traits, items, and the environment.

  • Will you play as a soldier who shoots first and asks questions later?

  • A stealthy doctor who uses chloroform and tranquilizer darts to silently take down the opposition?

  • A genial bartender who can talk his way past the most intimidating of guards?

  • Or how about a hyper-intelligent gorilla, rescuing other caged gorillas to form a small mobilized gorilla army?

The Mighty Feature-List

  • Play the game YOUR way! Don’t want to kill anybody? That’s cool! Want to hack computers? Got ya covered!

  • Random world generation and TOTALLY EXTREME gameplay variety means you can play for 600 hours and not get bored! Seriously though, go outside!!!

  • Super-advanced artificial intelligence that won’t put up with your crap! Outsmart these virtual humans and feel superior to your computer!

  • Play as over 20 (and growing!) wildly different types of characters! Bartender, scientist, hacker, gorilla — hey, your job is probably in there too!

  • Stupidly huge variety of items! Shrink rays, hypnotizing devices, boomboxes, bear traps, food processors.. Oh, and guns too.

  • 4-Player online and local cooperative modes lets you brutalize goons AND loneliness!

  • Lead a gang, free slaves, drink beer, gib ghosts, become a vampire, shrink people and stomp on them. The most insanely varied game ever made.
