Rogue Voltage is a turn-based roguelike in which you lead a team of two explorers through strange, dangerous biomes. Choose their modules and prepare for encounters with enemies, environmental hazards, and bosses.
In battle, connect modules to build circuits: some generate, store, amplify, or convert energy, while others use it for attacks, healing, or other effects. Rewire your setup and decide how to spend energy each turn, setting off sequences of triggers and managing module cooldowns.
Combat also uses a timeline that determines when characters and enemies act; certain effects can shift their positions. Between fights, choose routes and gather resources, then return to camp to upgrade buildings, unlock modules and characters, and expand your options for future runs.
Players who enjoy Rogue Voltage often praise its distinctive circuit-building combat and the satisfaction of assembling modules into powerful, cascading combos. Reviews also highlight the tactical, puzzle-like turn planning and the different approaches offered by its characters. Some players find the system takes time to learn, while recurring criticisms include short runs, interface friction, and concerns about progression or bugs.
Craft your own skills by wiring up modules. Some generate energy, others amplify or store it, and others convert it into effects. Pick from over 150 unique modules to construct crazy machines, discover devastating synergies, and create overpowered builds.
Connect the right modules and watch chaos unfold: Energy cascades through your circuits, triggering satisfying chain reactions. Feel like a mad scientist as you tinker, experiment, and discover new ways to amplify your power.
Every turn you have to decide where you want to put your energy: Into your blaster module? Do you have to crack a healing potion? Or do you store energy in a battery to prepare an even bigger move next turn?
Turns can be tactically pushed and pulled forward or backward in time: Dodge volcano eruptions and lightning strikes, slip before your enemies on the timeline or throw them into a devastating Grav-Spike.
Your adventure leads you through strange biomes where tricky enemies try to ruin your day. Compose your racks wisely to deal with the procedurally generated and progressively dangerous threats.
Between runs, return to your camp to upgrade buildings and unlock permanent progression. Store your favorite modules, expand your collection, and even build your own custom character.
