Though it's been a year since it's somewhat rocky release, Black Forest Games hasn't given up on their run-n-gun roguelite, Rogue Stormers. A recent update, "The Rise of Hindenbork," has not only added new content, but also made some slight tweaks to the way experience works when playing with a friend locally.
Rogue Stormers is a game that feels like the product of two different minds. One wanted a platform shooter with RPG mechanics, the other wanted a difficult shooter that was reminiscent of Contra. The result, unfortunately, is a mess of both....
Finally out of Early Access, Rogue Stormers - formerly Dieselstormers, is here. It's a game we saw not only switch names, but switch genres. Now a more focused action, platformer, rogue-like game - it features four player online co-op play through various random levels as you avoid the goop and destroy the orks.
Black Forest Games announced today that Rogue Stormers, its rogue-like action platformer title, will now be released on April 21 instead of the original date of March 24. If you own the game on Steam already via Early Access, you'll have a chance to check out an "almost-final" build of the game for a few days next weekend.

Rogue Stormers, the cooperative run n' gun platformer with rogue-like and light RPG elements that was formerly called "DieselStormers," finally has a release date.

Ever heard of the clothing brand "Diesel?" If so, when thinking of that brand, do you also think of mechanized knights powered by a particular form of fuel, commonly known as diesel? Apparently the two are so commonly confused for each other that the forthcoming co-op title, Dieselstormers, will have to changes its name.
If you ever wondered what a procedurally generated Contra game would be like if it were mixed with Left 4 Dead, DieselStormers is your answer. The roguelike action platformer from Black Forest Games had a successful crowdfunding campaign early last year, and now a brand new trailer has been released to show just how HELL YEAH it's going to be.
Once a game is funded and development begins in full, one wouldn't expect for it to go through significant changes. However, Black Forest Games, developers of the upcoming four-player action title Dieselstormers, did just that....
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams developer Black Forest Games has drastically overhauled its Early Access PC platformer Dieselstormers, announcing that it will shift away from RPG mechanics in favor of a roguelike-inspired gameplay structure.
We generally don't cover a lot of games on the site that are on Kickstarter. If we do, we have some criteria - the biggest of which is - regardless of Kickstarter the game is going to come out.
