Press release:
Thursday 31st March 2022.
The UK-based independent games developer and video games publisher Team17 and US-based indie games studio Heliocentric Studios, today announced with great pleasure and thrill that they have just released the “Druids & Dungeons” update for their multiplayer ARPG “Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos” (the “Druids & Dungeons” update is available right now for PC via Steam and the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop).

The update invites players to explore several new handmade dungeons, filled with new puzzles to solve, enemies to fight, and bosses to vanquish, as well as introducing a new playable class. Druids are able to transform into six different forms (aquatic, croaker, squirrel, lemur, snake, and dog) each with their own abilities to help with both environment traversal, and combat situations. The Druids & Dungeons update also includes difficulty level options, new shops, items, side quests, and more.

The full patch notes for the update can be found on the Team17 website.

First launched in February 2021 for PC and Nintendo Switch™, Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos challenges players to journey across the land of Tasos and delve into the depths of procedurally generated dungeons to save it from sinister Titans.

Gems earned during dungeon runs can be used to rebuild the hometown of Intori, which in turn grants access to upgrades that can improve playable characters as well as unlocking other classes and equipment. Playable solo or co-op, both online and local, Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos scales with the number of players to ensure a balanced gameplay experience.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos Key Features:

Four-player co-op adventuring: Up to four players can explore the lands of Tasos and tackle the dungeons, assisting and reviving each other to earn victory together
Roguelite dungeon-crawling: Take on procedurally generated dungeons packed with a variety of monsters, earning gems to spend on upgrades to get further in the next run
Town and class upgrades: Each run in the dungeon earns heroes gems to spend on upgrades, including the facilities in the town, as well as player abilities and stats
