Everything about it is fair/good, but nothing about it is overwhelmingly noteworthy. It’s just a solid game from top to bottom in a genre that’s gotten pretty lazy overall with clones, which this is not.
There’s a nice rhythm to hitting the shield at the perfect moment, nailing a fire bolt or slicing through rows of bad guys to boost your multiplier. Unfortunately, a good runner needs legs, and ROGUS’ simplicity means things wear thin quickly.
ROGUS – Kingdom of Lost Souls teases with grandeur promise, but devolves into a barebones running action platformer as lacking in gameplay variety as it is in visual and presentation variety.
SummaryA minimalist, yet, epic, beat'em'up where your skills will be put to the test as you jump, aim, dodge, shield and cast spells, all at the same time.
