FROGUE, the genre-bending indie game, is getting ported to consoles.
The game's creators, Wired Dreams, announced that it will release FROGUE next-gen consoles this June 27th. It can be accessed on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
This FROGUE port comes four months after it made its debut on PC devices last February. It is a platformer that contains not only roguelite and bullet-hell elements. But also turn-based strategy and time manipulation mechanics.
It puts players in control of Kene Legstrong, a valiant frog warrior on a mission to break a century-old curse.
The gameplay involves a mix of turn-based combat, bullet hell intensity, and platforming challenges. Players can unleash a variety of attacks, and strategically hurl weapons at enemies.
They can also even manipulate time to gain an edge. Kene's unique ability to cling to walls adds a 3D layer to the gameplay. By doing so, players open up more creative solutions and strategic approaches to overcoming each obstacle.
"The cool thing about FROGUE is that each player can play it the way they want," developers described.
The game promised to offer high replayability through procedurally generated scenarios. This, in turn, challenges players to conquer ever-changing environments.
Since its release, FROGUE has received positive feedback from several PC players.
"An absolute breath of fresh air in the genre," Steam user bmschulz wrote. He added describing the game as one of the most interesting stylistic mish-mashes.
Steam user Dilly shared the same opinion.
"It feels really good to slash 2 enemies after carefully planning your movement," he said in the game's review section.
FROGUE is the fifth title from solo developer Thiago Oliveira, the one-man team behind Wired Dreams studio, which is based in Brazil. The game has tapped QuByte Interactive, Latin America's largest publisher of indie games, as its publisher.
