Wanton Rogue to come out firing later this year
Well, liss'n up, y'all. There's a new point 'n shoot adventure a'comin' to yer computer thangies soon, so keep yer eyes peeled fer Wanton Rogue later this year, y'hear?
The setting isn't the only thing that hearkens back to another era. Wanton Rogue is an unapologetically old-school retro-style adventure, complete with "colorful 16-bit-ish wild west scenery filled with the good, the bad and the ugly" to go with its verb-based interface. You wouldn't survive the "dangerous landscapes" for long armed only with your wits, however, so here you can brandish your "trusty revolver, Winchester rifle or a shotgun to offer you defence." You'll need it, too, as the experience promises "a good amount of puzzles for you to solve and bad guys to shoot down." The latter will involve some "action filled gun fights", but an easy mode will be available for those who don't have the quickest of trigger fingers. Although easily played with the mouse, the game will also support keybaord and gamepad controls if you so desire.
The plan is to release Wanton Rogue incrementally though Early Access, with six locations planned in total. There is no firm launch date set just yet, but the first such location, called Waylonville, is on track for release later this year on Windows, Mac and Linux.
