Starward Rogue
Starward Rogue is a bullet hell roguelike video game from Arcen Games. The game takes place in the same universe as many of Arcen's other games, such as and Stars Beyond Reach. The player controls a mech housing a severed head of an alien hydra, shooting through the levels of a procedurally generated prison tower lodged in the surface of a star.
The game was well-received by critics and fans, being favorably compared to games like Binding of Isaac. However the positive reaction did not translate into sales, and the game's poor financial performance shortly after launch was partially responsible for Arcen laying off the majority of its staff.
