Co-op spaceship management roguelite This Means Warp is now officially slated to become available via Steam Early Access on the 17th of March.

 

Why... WHY rogueLITE?! WHY!?!?! Recently I was very unpleasantly surprised to find a game I was tracking a bit - HighFleet - NOT to be a roguelike but a roguelite. Dammit. I might still play it again but... I might also not.

 

Hard to find another Teleglitch or Nuclear Throne.

@SV: there's no denying terms Roguelite and Roguelike have been widely abused with extremely variable degrees of propriety, as you well know. These days the former mostly just implies there will be dying and some form of non-volatile cross-session RPG stat progression to alleviate the consequences of death.

 

So yeah, plenty of chaff and not much real wheat. These qualifier liberties aside, it doesn't mean quality and enjoyment are absent in a select few of these so disregarding them entirely on those grounds (particularly without having played something) would be a disfavour to what's actually on offer in a title that is potentially worth knowing about. Just my .02.

This is the end of the Spike's event. But don't say "goodbye" to our friend yet. Maybe one day you'll have a chance to meet him again.

Force Commanders shall be granted access to the advanced classes of Grey Knights.

 

With Nurgle's greatest gift to the galaxy, the Bloom, festering across the worlds of the Tyrtaeus sector, Strike Force Xiphos will require access to Grey Knights trained with unique skill sets. These advanced classes of Grey Knights have undergone specialist training at the Citadel of Titan to hone their powerful psychic and physical abilities in preparation for the most dangerous incursions of Chaos in the Materium.

 

During the course of the campaign after gaining the favour of the Steward of the Armoury, players will be able to access an additional four advanced classes:

 

Paladin

The Paladin is an elite Terminator Armour-clad warrior, pulverising and pounding enemies with powerful combat-focused abilities.

 

Chaplain

The Chaplain buffs and emboldens his allies with prayers and litanies, whilst sanctifying and cleansing them from Nurgle’s debilitating ailments.

 

Librarian

As a veteran psyker, the Librarian banishes and bursts Daemonkind from the inside out using devastating psychic attacks.

 

Purifier

The Purifier incinerates any foe who gets too close, while also removing enemy mutations or afflictions

To survive, you must guide your species through a constantly changing world. Compete with strange creatures for food and territory, and find your niche through careful evolutionary choices. The real question is not if you can survive, but for how long.

Set on a remote chain of islands that have been protected by the Maidens for generations, the turn-based adventure will have players follow the protagonist to save the people of the island as they face the threat of destruction. In this touching tale set in a world of melancholic beauty, players will set sail for the high seas, together with Laty, a girl who failed to become a Maiden.
