What is Rogue Worlds?

Rogue Worlds is a side-scrolling roguelite set in hazardous labyrinths, from underground ruins to carnivorous gardens. You fight bosses, rescue allies, and unlock starting gear and perks across procedurally generated runs. It is a free, shortened version of Aura of Worlds, and your progress carries over to that game.
