Just as I was starting to wonder why nobody had mixed up the roguelike and shmup genres, a couple of titles that do just that are dropped into my lap! While I am working at a review of the Overture, which you can pick up on Steam and will find our review of in the next week, I noticed that the PS4 has their own brand of dungeon-crawling-shoot’em-up-adventuring coming soon as well.
LifeSpark Entertainment recently profiled their upcoming PSN game Rack N Ruin on the PlayStation Blog and I can’t help but get excited. The game is a top-down shooter where your goal is to create as much chaos as possible into the world. It is a nice, old-school style game with some new-school mechanics. The more you destroy, the more power that you get. This just looks like an absolute ton of fun! Hopefully more information on the game, including a concrete release date will be coming soon.
