Rogue Wave

Rogue Wave is a First Person Roguelite Horde Shooter. You will face hundreds of enemies in each level of this procedurally generated world. Each death offers a chance to re-combine unique Nanobot upgrades with your FPS skills. Can you find the right mix of auto-battler and precision tactics to get home?

This is an Alpha release, the gaemplay is there, the balance is coming along, about 20% of the planned upgrades are present, UI, graphics and sound design need work. Your feedback on gameplay is very important to me as I move towards a Demo release in early 2025, see this short Google Form.

Rogue Wave

Your team is gone, wiped out the moment you entered this mysterious silicon-based realm. Now, it’s up to you to find your way home, alone.

Harness the power of your nanobot technology to stay alive, no matter the odds. But remember, their energy is finite. Drop into a level, gather resources and enhance your abilities, weapons, and even yourself in a quest to develop a unique survival strategy against relentless waves of enemies.

Survive for 5 minutes or destroy the enemy spawners so the Nanobots can get you out with your gear. But don't worry, if you are about to die they will pull you out, but without your gear.

Play Your Way

• Precision Weapons: Take control with manually wielded weapons.
• Automated Nanobot Weapons: Let your nanobots do the fighting.
• Defensive Static Weapons: Fortify your position and defend.

This game is designed to adapt to your playstyle. The real challenge lies in discovering the perfect combination of upgrades to match your strategy and succeed.

Discover the portal home

Your mission is straightforward: find the Portal home. Each run features a single portal—can you locate it? And if you do, can you reach it? The locals view you as a virus that must be eradicated and will stop at nothing to prevent your escape. If you manage to reach the portal, where will it lead you? To another part of this bizarre alien world, or back home to your family and friends?

Unleash Your Inner Warrior with Nanobot Upgrades!

Dive into a world where your every move is enhanced by cutting-edge nanobot technology. As you gather resources, watch in awe as your body and weapons evolve with hundreds of unique upgrades. The possibilities are endless, and the playstyles are nearly infinite!

Precision FPS Player?

• Seek out the highest vantage points, fortify your defenses, and use your sniper rifle to pick off enemies with deadly accuracy.

Run and Gun Enthusiast?

• Grab your assault rifle and shotgun, charge up your shields, and dive headfirst into the action. No enemy stands a chance!

Master Strategist?

• Set up a perimeter of auto-battler weapons, don your heaviest armor, and draw the enemy into your trap. Watch as they fall one by one.

No matter your playstyle, there’s a perfect combination waiting for you. But remember, perfection comes at a price. How many times will you fall before you master the art of survival?
