Achieve #SquadGoals in Free-to-Play Smartphone Game Rogue Life

With various games around and. coming out on mobile have you ever reached the point wherein you have so much games to play and you're at the mercy of your friends’ gaming recommendations instead of your own judgement? I was, at least a few days ago. A friend recommended me to download and play Rogue Life on the Play Store. At first, I was skeptical because the title is not that appealing to me. Little did I know that it would somehow take over my life, exaggerating.

Rogue Life is an online crossover of a shooter and RPG game. Basically, the player controls a squad of 3 characters and must shoot down monsters while evading the monsters’ attacks at the same time in a linear path. Upon starting the game, you'll be getting three characters that will form your squad: Arthur, a swordsman who wields a sword and a shield, Khan, the berserker, who throws two axes, and Jeanne, the ice mage who pack ice spells at her disposal. Just like in any RPG game, you can change the equipment of your characters for better stats and level them up for stronger attacks. As the game progresses, you can purchase more characters to add to your squad but you're limited only to 3 characters to bring on the battlefield. So, it’s all about mix and match to create the strongest squad.

What's challenging for me in this game is when there's a large crowd of monsters attacking and a lot of delayed projectiles coming from them. I get so overwhelmed with everything so quickly. That's why I get somehow panicky and I would end up with characters almost dying; but I think it’s part of the gaming experience and even though it’s a tad bit stressful, the game is really fun to play.

Just like other games that can be played either on Android or iOS, the number of plays are limited: You have to wait for your stamina to regenerate so that you can play again. In Rogue Life’s case, bread is the consumable. You can have 30 breads at maximum and per play it requires you 3-4 bread. It takes 5 minutes to replenish one bread. It’s not that bad since you can do other stuff or play a different game while waiting for your breads to regenerate. Also, there are two levels you can improve. The level of your characters and the level of your squad. The level of your characters can easily be leveled up with the coins you gain after finishing a stage or from rewards given by the game itself. On the other hand, you can only gain EXP to increase your squad level by accomplishing a stage. Every time you increase your squad level, a new part of your house or headquarters is unlocked to further help you in improving your characters and upgrading their weapons. Also, there's multiplayer aspect in terms of PvP and sharing of medals to claim extra rewards.

So, if you have no idea what to play during your free time, why don’t you shoot and dodge monsters? Rogue Life: Squad Goals is free on the App Store and Play Store. Nothing is better than the thrill of an adventure and free stuff.
