What Rogue Fist is
Rogue Fist is a top-down dungeon crawler where your character attacks automatically, so your job is movement, positioning, and deciding who to throw. You descend into a cursed dungeon full of undead and eventually face the cultist commanding them. Rooms are procedurally generated, enemies come in relentless waves, and bullet storms fill the screen. Between runs you keep what you earned: gem currency buys permanent upgrades across 50+ skills, and every ability, weapon and character has 50 levels that grow stronger the more you use them. There are 120+ weapons and abilities, 45 playable characters, and hundreds of modifiers to build from. The game is in Early Access.
Playing with friends
Local co-op supports up to 4 players on one screen, and Steam Remote Play Together lets your Steam friends join in from their own machines. Controllers are required for local multiplayer. Revives are quick, so a dead player is back in the action without much waiting around. Between that and the throwing, the co-op tone is deliberately chaotic: you can punch, hurl, and "accidentally" sacrifice each other while clearing rooms. Teamwork helps, but it is optional, and throwing your friends is on the table at all times.
Modes and things to know
There are five game modes. The standard mode is the core crawl: clear procedurally generated rooms, level up, collect loot, and get rewarded at the end of a run even if you fail, which feeds meta progression. A timed mode gives each fight room a countdown with infinite spawns until it expires. A larger, denser map runs for 30 minutes and requires picking up experience. A shuffle mode rerolls your equipment between party members every time you open a chest, and randomizes it for solo players. The Daily Challenge applies a fresh procedurally generated ruleset every day — modifiers, restricted characters, altered enemies — and needs an active internet connection, as does posting leaderboard scores; everything else works offline. Leaderboards are split by level, player count, and game mode, with daily boards resetting every 24 hours.
