Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that Rogue Steel - a free content expansion for Severed Steel - is now live!
What is Rogue Steel? It’s Severed Steel with Rogue-lite elements. Click the Rogue Steel button on the main menu to start a short, randomly generated, 10 level campaign... with a twist.
Whenever you beat a level you get to choose a perk card to upgrade your weapons, moveset, and more. What are the perk cards? Here are some examples:
- Divebomb: Gives your dive an enemy-staggering shockwave.
- Cowboy: Gives enemy troops old western revolvers and shotguns.
- Boom Headshot: Makes enemies detonate when defeated with a headshot.
There are 50 cards, collect them all to unlock achievements! Some cards multiply your score, and score is used to unlock skins for Steel and her arm cannon.
You can also customize your rogue run with features like perma-death if you want more (or less) challenge!
Without further ado, here are the patch notes! I hope you enjoy!
