Press release:
June 20, 2024, São Paulo, Brazil.
The São Paulo-based (Brazil) indie games developer Wired Dreams are today very happy and excited to announce that their retro-like turn-based action platformer “FROGUE“, is coming to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 27th, 2024.
In “FROGUE”, the player controls the frog warrior Kene Legstrong and has the mission of stopping a curse that happens every 100 years with lots of action, strategy and even time manipulation
“Frogue” is the fifth game from developer Thiago Oliveira, the independent solo developer behind Wired Dreams Studio. It is the fourth game published for consoles in partnership with QUByte Interactive.
The cool thing about “FROGUE” is that each player can play it the way they want, using the tricks of throwing their weapons at their opponents, freezing time and navigating the platforms of each stage with agility and precision in every move. The fact that the character has the ability to stick to walls and use some special powers gives the game a three-dimensional feel and opens up many possibilities for thinking up different solutions to each challenge in a strategic way.
The turn-based combat gameplay and many other elements will challenge the most demanding players who like their games to be a little more difficult, and all with a colorful, pixelated look reminiscent of the great console classics of yesteryear.
The opinion of those who have played the PC version
“An absolute breath of fresh air in the genre. In a veritable sea of uninspired Vampire Survivors clones, Frogue emerges as one of the most interesting stylistic mish-mashes in recent memory.”
“This game is fantastic. It brings adrenaline in a turn-based genre in a brilliant way. I got carried away controlling the badass frog in this dark atmosphere. Also loved the energetic music. Really recommend it.”
“It’s an awesome turn-based action game! It feels really good to slash 2 enemies after carefully planning your movement.”
FROGUE will be released on June 27, 2024 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch
