Description
The engineering roguelike.
Rogue Voltage is a hybrid of roguelike deckbuilder and an automation game. Construct your own skills by wiring circuits. Zap monsters with crazy machines, trigger satisfying chain reactions, manipulate the timeline and try to get the power back on in a world in which time is out of joint.
The concept for the unique wiring mechanics is inspired by music production with modular synthesizers.
“Oldschool Final Fantasy, but you play it like a Zachtronics-style engineering puzzler.” (original game idea)
Rogue Voltage is the newest title in the portfolio of publisher IndieArk, after their recent roguelite successes Backpack Battles, Backpack Hero and Peglin.
The production of Rogue Voltage is supported by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
Features
Wire Up The Modules
Construct your own skills by wiring together modules. Some generate energy, some amplify or store it and others turn it into effects. Build crazy machines to zap your enemies or conserve charge in batteries for moments of need.
Zap the Monsters
Every turn raises tactical challenges where to direct your energy: Into your blaster to harm the monsters? Into a decelerator to control the timeline? Should you crack a healing potion? Or do you store energy in a battery and prepare an even more ambitious move next turn?
Turn-Based with a (Time-)Twist
In this shattered world, cause and effect are out of joint. Master the art of Gravitonics to move turns forward or backward in time: Dodge volcano eruptions and lightning strikes, slip before your enemies or throw them into a devastating Grav-Spike.
Roguelike Progression
Your adventure leads you through a variety of biomes where tricky groups of enemies try to ruin your day. Compose and patch up your racks wisely to deal with procedurally generated and progressively dangerous threats.

Reviews
- "Maybe [I need] a time machine, so I can play Rogue Voltage for hours and hours and then go back in time to do some work. This is easily one of the best ideas for a game I've played so far this year"
- Liam Dawe, Gaming on Linux - "The core of Rogue Voltage is making crazy machines that do weird stuff. How you do that is the cool part."
- Jon Bolding, PC Gamer - "Seeing the electricity spark through the wires and watching each module kick into gear was super satisfying"
- Rachel Watts, Thinky Games - "This roguelike deckbuilder has a great twist"
- Graham Smith, Rock, Paper, Shotgun - "An extremely unusual take on the genre. [...] Mechanically interesting, and with a grungy palette-crushed look."
- Dominic Tarason, PC Gamer
