EPYX ROGUE IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE NINTENDO ESHOP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pixel Games UK and Imagine Software are pleased to announce the release of a new update for Epyx Rogue. This update addresses several issues that have been impacting gameplay, further enhancing the overall player experience.
You can read the full patch notes below:
• Fixed an issue where ZL and ZR actions ('Zap' and 'Throw') did not work.
• Fixed an issue where certain achievements were not attainable.
• Fixed an issue where the keyboard to rename items appeared too quickly.
• Fixed an issue where reading a 'wild magic' scroll led to a softlock.
Among the most significant improvements are a number of other issues that were hindering player progress. Crucially, an issue that caused a softlock when reading a 'wild magic' scroll has been corrected, allowing for uninterrupted exploration and interaction with in-game items.
A bug affecting the ZL and ZR buttons, which control the 'Zap' and 'Throw' actions has been resolved. Players previously encountered difficulties using these essential abilities, which have now been fully restored to function as intended, ensuring smoother and more strategic combat.
The update also includes a fix for previously unattainable achievements, ensuring that all in-game goals are now reachable. Additionally, adjustments have been made to the interface, specifically the timing of the keyboard when renaming items, which now appears more appropriately to avoid interrupting gameplay.
Pixel Games UK & Imagine Software would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our players for their patience and understanding while these issues were being resolved. The continued support and feedback from the community are invaluable, and the team remains committed to delivering the best possible experience in Epyx Rogue.
About ‘Epyx Rogue’
The original ever-changing dungeon crawler.
In the 1980s a computer game emerged that changed the world of fantasy gaming forever. Randomly generated rooms meant that each journey into the infamous Dungeons of Doom was unique. The potent combination of random generation with perma-death proved to be intoxicating, and the game was so influential it spawned an entire genre "Rogue-likes".
Now you too can experience the thrill of dungeon crawling for the fabled Amulet of Yendor in this pioneering game. Delve deep into this recreation of the original graphical port of Rogue by strategy game giants Epyx, that replaced the earlier text-based interface with pixel-art for the first time.
Battle dozens of unique and powerful enemies.
Gather armour, weapons, food and other items to help you on your quest.
Scour rooms for secret hidden doors and traps.
Discover strange magical spells and potions, which have different wonderous effects every time you play the game.
Survive through 26 randomly generated levels, each more tricky and dangerous than the last, to find the Amulet, then escape... if you can!
