Roguemance turns monster-slaying into a date

In Roguemance, love is a procedurally generated battlefield. The romance-themed roguelike (though you can turn off permadeath) places equal emphasis on the creatures you fight as well as the bonds you form with your party members. It’s indie developer Lucas Molina’s latest game, and it’s out now on PC.

As players traverse the colorful pixel realm of Heartipelago, they have the option to pick up sidekicks, select and buy new skills, and face off against hostile creatures. Before every battle, you pick who will accompany you in combat, and each fight acts as a date.
