The goal is to get to the final level and become mayor. Each session or run is randomized. While the levels will remain the same, the things in them will be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is mostly combat and exploration. You run around and complete quests and often get into fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the next area, you have to complete or fail all quests. How you go about completing levels and missions is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations-1024x591.png\" alt=\"The Streets of Rogue map and missions are shown.\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations-1024x591.png 1024w, https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations-1536x886.png 1536w, https:\/\/computergamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/streets_of_rogue_misson_locations.png 1922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of <a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/512900\/\">Streets of Rogue<\/a> Steam game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Different_Characters_Are_Nice\"><\/span>The Different Characters Are Nice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The characters in Streets of Rogue are nice.

I like playing characters like the soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One cool thing in the game is big quests. Every character has a unique quest that you can complete throughout a run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing this quest often unlocks something big for your current character. In some cases, you become a different character afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing some of the big quests is annoying. But since they are optional, I suppose that is not too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do them if you want to, or ignore them. Even if you fail the big quest for a run, you can still make progress for extra experience points. I think this is a nice detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want something different from the characters offered in the game? You can make your own character.

I don\u2019t do this often for games, but I enjoyed the demo of the game so much that I felt confident I would enjoy the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have seen the game put on sale for as low as $5 (USD) during Steam sale events. So you can always wait for the next big sale if you feel like being patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Recommend_Buying_DLC_and_Other_Content\"><\/span>Do I Recommend Buying DLC and Other Content?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the DLC offered for Streets of Rogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Streets of Rogue Character Pack $6 (USD)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Streets of Rogue Soundtrack $5 (USD)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Making of Streets of Rogue $5 (USD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the character pack is worth it. While I feel these characters could just been in the base game, I think they add enough variety to be worth buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t buy soundtracks on Steam as I feel other platforms like Bandcamp are better options. I rather manage everything elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think paying money for The Making of Streets of Rogue is worth the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, it does look and sound cool. But I rather buy in-game content. I suppose you can decide if this is something you want or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only DLC I have bought is the character pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Overall_Thoughts_on_Streets_of_Rogue\"><\/span>My Overall Thoughts on Streets of Rogue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Streets of Rogue is a well made Rogue-Lite game, and I like it a lot. The game keeps things fresh with new characters. The game also doesn&#8217;t become stale quick because of all the things that can happen in levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to the developers progress on the sequel game. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2165810\/Streets_of_Rogue_2\/\">Streets of Rogue 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Recommend_People_Play_Streets_of_Rogue\"><\/span>Do I Recommend People Play Streets of Rogue?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend playing the game if you like Rogue-Lite games and want to play something that can be chaotic sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streets of Rogue is the kind of game you can play many times and still see new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also download a play a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/madguy.itch.io\/streets-of-rogue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demo version<\/a>.
