Roguecraft Digital Release Date Confirmed for September 2nd on itch.io

Roguecraft Digital Release Date Confirmed for September 2nd on itch.io Badger Punch Games, renowned for its dedication to retro-inspired indie titles, has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated Amiga roguelike, Roguecraft, will be released digitally on September 2nd.

Publisher Thalamus Digital revealed the launch date earlier this week, bringing wider attention to a project rooted in both nostalgia and innovative gameplay.

Roguecraft is a modern reimagining of Rogue64, the Commodore 64 (C64) homebrew hit, redeveloped by Badger Punch Games for the Amiga platform.

Drawing on the classic roguelike formula, the game tasks players with selecting one of several character classes—mage, fighter, or rogue—before journeying into the perilous dungeons of Moredecoom.

The ultimate goal is to defeat a formidable tentacled adversary and secure a legendary ancient treasure.

This enhanced version capitalizes on the Amiga's hardware capabilities, offering updated visuals and refined gameplay mechanics. Speaking on the forthcoming launch, representatives from Thalamus Digital highlighted the game's evolution and strong roots in retro gaming culture.

They noted, 'Roguecraft embodies everything fans love about classic dungeon crawlers, while integrating modern design touches tailored for Amiga enthusiasts.' Until now, Roguecraft had only been available through Thalamus Digital’s website in three collectible physical editions: Standard, Deluxe, and the humorously named Zero Cluck’s Edition.

Each physical version included a digital copy for backers, ensuring that committed fans could experience the adventure both ways.

Now, with the digital release, the game will reach a broader audience and capitalize on the ease of distribution through itch.io. The digital edition of Roguecraft will retail for $9.99, but is launching with a special discount price of $7.99 for a limited time.

This initiative aims to reward early adopters and foster continued enthusiasm within the retro and indie gaming communities. Roguecraft’s release marks another milestone for both Badger Punch Games and Thalamus Digital, reaffirming their commitment to rejuvenating classic gaming experiences on legacy hardware.

For fans of retro gaming, roguelikes, or the Amiga platform, Roguecraft’s arrival on itch.io September 2nd promises a compelling new chapter in homebrew innovation.
