(SNAPP Reviews aren’t really full-fledged game reviews as much as they are just a way for us to give you a quick “heads-up” on whether a game is good or not. It usually means that we haven’t finished the game yet, but have played a good enough chunk to know if it’s worth your time or money.)
RogueMine is a pixel art roguelike that was recently released on the App Store by Andrey Leontiev. The game has you exploring a mysterious mining planet as you try to mine resources and try to stay alive. RogueMine started off feeling like another survival-style game, but as I spent more time with it, the game really hooked me. During each run, you will need to switch between your pickaxe and your weapon. Your pickaxe mines gems that are hidden throughout the levels, while your weapon is for attacking enemies. The controls are pretty tight with a single joystick and your character auto-shooting at the closest enemy. Levels are randomly generated keeping each run feeling fresh. As you progress, you’ll earn currency from the gems that you collect. You can use your cash to purchase new miners, abilities, and more. RogueMine doesn’t stray too far from the survival game formula, but it has enough to make it feel unique. If you’re a fan of roguelikes, RogueMine is definitely worth checking out!
RogueMine is also in this week’s SNAPP Roundup!
