'Roguecraft' Is A Stunning New Roguelike Coming To Amiga This Year

Update: Pre-orders open July 1st

After a long wait, we now finally have a date for when Roguecraft pre-orders will open.

According to a recent tweet from the game's publisher Thalamus Digital, published earlier this month, you will be able to pre-order the game from July 1st.

Three different physical versions will be available. These include:

• A standard edition (containing a box, a CD32-compatible game CD, a manual, a floppy disk label, a Thalamus sticker, a Roguecraft postcard, an A3 poster, and a digital download) - £19.99
• A deluxe edition (containing a box, a CD32-compatible game CD, a manual, a Thalamus sticker, a Roguecraft postcard, an A3 poster, a Roguecraft bookmark, a Badger Punch postcard, a Roguecraft sticker sheet, a game floppy, and a digital download) - £29.99
• Zero Cluck's edition (containing a box, a CD32-compatible game CD, a manual, a Thalamus sticker, a Roguecraft postcard, an A3 poster, a Roguecraft bookmark, a Badger Punch postcard, a Roguecraft sticker sheet, a game floppy, a pin badge, a Roguecraft tee, a plastic chicken, and a digital download) - £44.99

Rewards are expected to ship in September 2024, which, we're assuming, is when the digital-only edition listed on the developer's website will also be available to purchase. The game will be playable from floppy disk, WHDLoad, and CD32, and is compatible with the Amiga 500+ (with 1MB Chip RAM, 1MB Other RAM, or 2MB Chip RAM), emulators, and the A500 Mini.

Definitely buying this. Huge soft spot for the old isometric games.

The isometric games were always good on the Amiga. Hero Quest, Heimdall, Cadaver etc.

Funnily enough, I've been looking at getting that keyboard off Aliexpress the past few weeks. Do I want to spend that much on a keyboard when the one I have already is fine? Maybe I do...

What both of you posted made me horny. I set a reminder for roguecraft and think I’ll buy a copy. And the keyboard looks awesome. I just don’t know why I should buy one as the one I have right now is perfectly fine :/

 

[Eneru]

Oh man. The shipping cost add another 12 £ to the digital deluxe edition. Now I’m not sure. :/

You could just get the non-physical digital version from itch.io. It will probably be about US$5.

I haven't checked in on them in a long while, but there are still a number of C64 hosted BBS's around, a few I used to be a regular on. And by hosted, I do mean hosted, on actual C64s. There are browser addons for off system access as well.
