Ian Howarth: "Rogue Stormers is a new addition to the ever-expanding and popular ‘rogue’ genre (or rogue-like, or rogue-lite, or whatever new name the internet has decided to brand them as this week). In brief, a rogue game is one that contains perma-death; meaning you start back from the beginning after dying, and procedurally generated levels so players can’t simply learn the layout. They are also notoriously difficult because of these characteristics, requiring the players to learn the core mechanics deeply to eventually reign victorious."
