Cogmind

I’ve mentioned Cogmind before. Back in the early days of the blog, I talked about how the developer of X@Com was working on a roguelike. This week it’s finally releasing on Steam. It’s basically content complete at this point, and the extra development time is slated for further fleshing it out with polish and optional features.

The Alpha Trailer above will at least give you a sense of just how far it takes the ASCII aesthetic. Alongside Caves of Qud and Jupiter Hell, this is one of the handful of modern roguelikes that are pushing traditional roguelike aesthetics to the edge.
