If you haven’t heard of Sword of the Stars: The Pit then you need to. Roguelike is a sub-genre of Role Playing Games (RPGs) in which players can only die once, and instead of story the focus is on surviving, leveling up, and advancing your character through an unforgiving world. Sword of the Stars: The Pit (available on Steam today) is the equivalent of the ideal Roguelike. With flawless execution in satisfying the everyday gamer as well as the genre veteran simultaneously, try playing it on ‘Seriously!?’ difficulty mode right off the bat if you think you’re so tough that this game’s too new age. It isn’t. You’ll probably end up earning yourself the Ricky Fail Achievement for dying in the first round, which is just adding insult to injury at this point.
