About

Rogue Wilds

Features
Read full description

The camp fire is dying out. Someone has to gather firewood. Rogue Wilds is a fast, colorful isometric action roguelike. Take the trail out of camp, fight through hordes of jungle and desert beasts, and carry the firewood back to keep the fire alive. THREE REGIONS, THIRTEEN BOSSES • Follow the north trail through a long jungle: riverbank, thick jungle, glowing mushroom hollow, mossy ruins and a murky bog. • Beat the Elder Treant and the east trail opens into Dustbowl Canyon, a left-to-right run through canyon, salt flats, buried ruins and a sun-baked plaza. • Beat the Sun Colossus and the west trail opens into Frostfang Tundra, a right-to-left run through snowy pines, a frozen lake, ice caverns and glacier ruins, ending with a freezing queen and the Frost Titan. • Every few hundred meters the trail pinches into a locked gate guarded by a boss with its own tricks: a leaping gorilla, a shielded spore mother, a beam-firing stone guardian, a mud-diving lurker, a scorpion queen, a vulture king, a gravity-pulling pharaoh, a freezing ice queen and giant bosses at the end of each trail. THIRTEEN HEROES TO UNLOCK Start as Thomas, a scared kid with a stick. Beat a boss for the first time and a new hero walks into camp and sits by the fire: a woodsman with a heavy axe, a wild boy who throws rocks, a hunter with a slow, powerful rifle, a bard whose guitar blasts a half circle, an herbalist who plants thorny vines, a captain with a loyal dog, a fisherman who hooks enemies, a fire-dancer wrapped in flame, a nomad with a boomerang, a knight whose lance charge cannot be hurt, and a sniper whose piercing shot flies off screen, a demolitionist who lobs bombs, and a monk with a whole combo of moves. Walk up to any of them to swap. LEVEL UP AS YOU FIGHT Enemies drop firewood that makes you braver during a run. Pick a boost every level: hit harder, run faster, grab loot from farther away and more. SPEND YOUR FIREWOOD AT CAMP The Scoutmaster thanks you for every stick and sells gear: hunting boots, a canteen, a satchel, a whetstone, a flashlight that stuns, a throwing hatchet, and lucky charms like a wolf-tooth necklace that heals you as you fight. THE LONGER YOU LAST, THE WORSE IT GETS Enemies arrive faster and hit harder the deeper you go. Use your dash, hide from beams, dodge the red circles and keep moving. FREE AND PRIVATE No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no tracking. It works offline. Your progress is saved only on your iPhone.
