Gone Rogue is an epic roguelike roleplaying adventure game! From the makers of the popular RPG Level Up, Gone Rogue is an all new roguelike endless dungeon crawler. Explore randomly generated dungeons, collect loot, defeat monsters, and level up! Gone Rogue features the robust inventory management and combat system from Level Up, but packaged in a brand new 2d dungeon crawling adventure. Find epic items or create your own by adding upgrades to socketed items. Items are procedurally generated at run time, so no two playthroughs will have the exact same loot! Gone Rogue is just getting started, and there will be many new features added in the future. Coming updates will open up the Town where you can barter for goods, an online auction house, procedurally generated quests, crafting, cooking, and of course more dungeon types to explore.
