Why is this game still SO ADDICTIVE? | Streets of Rogue Review 2024

[@easilydistractedgames]

Fans of Streets of Rogue! Give me your favourite character or crazy strategies!

[@googamer_r]

There is an old tactic: put a detonator on the door and knock

[@easilydistractedgames]

Yup! I do this with the demolitionist, so effective.

[@Saeiane777]

Custom: klepto, zero damage all stealth- kite enemies into hitting neutral npcs and keep hidden. Ooor, Freenivore: a cannibal with pacifist tendencies. Only eats sleeping enemies (KOed, arrested, etc)

[@chuckspears3202]

@@Saeiane777 yo explain, idk how to get that

[@crazando]

I really enjoy playing as the mobster so that I can grab up all the money opprotunities

[@percinatto]

One of the most underrated games ever

[@tk20channel]

I just started playing this game and it has quickly become one of my favorite games... and for only $5?! Insane. Can't wait for SoR2 soon!

[@easilydistractedgames]

Me too!

[@userunknown4331]

My buddy just got me into this game, he says he hasnt been able to get anyone into it, and i love it! My favorite starting class is the hacker, just disabling, exploding, and causing chaos is so fun, i cant wait to play the other characters and eventually get into modded!

[@easilydistractedgames]

Nice! The hacker is really fun (like hacking the fridges!). Second is coming soon too!

[@dawidscheffler7152]

Personal favourite (playing solo) is dumping ressurection potion into the water filter of the park levels - gives you a lazarus pit. Prefer creating custom classes over the defaults as it allows for a lot more interesting combos in traits to run a character on. Favourite item? Lighter - it has soooo many uses.

[@braisfeijoo1333]

Nice review and fun video, cant wait for the sequel

[@easilydistractedgames]

Thanks! Did you see I tried out your oil can trick, that was crazy, so much fire!

[@braisfeijoo1333]

@@easilydistractedgames It worked better than expectes as you burned a WOODEN house XD

[@Danthepanman1]

4 weeks!

[@JDMaroney]

Honestly might be my favorite game when it comes to pure fun. Just pure fun! And hilarious.

[@earlofearlier]

Great review, high production quality - you deserve a lot more subs.

[@easilydistractedgames]

Thank you! I'm working on it 😅

[@thetelpho2176]

i'll always appreciate some more streets of rogue content! my favourite charcter would probably be the investment banker

[@JDMaroney]

Really? What is it about the investment banker?

[@thetelpho2176]

​@@JDMaroneyyou have no time to think, you just have to do. which often leads to everything backfiring hilariously

[@easilydistractedgames]

I tried the investment banker but staying drugged up all the time was crazy! How did you do it?

[@Ardeleus]

I'm so glad someone is talking about Streets of Rogue especially with the open-world sequel coming out! My favorite would probably be Shapeshifter because you literally become the new character Down to being able to utilize the abilities of the possessed character

[@easilydistractedgames]

He's so squishy though when not possessing another person, I always die in those moments

[@Ardeleus]

​@@easilydistractedgamesI totally don't create a custom character with possess... 😅 But yeah, even for the original characters I really like Shapeshifter since you can also teleport in toilets to escape danger It's a really hard character for sure, but very rewarding and varied gameplay!

[@chemicalmix]

Brilliant and interesting review, you definitely deserve a lot more YT love.

[@easilydistractedgames]

Ahh wow, thank you so much for that. I'm trying :)

[@Zuxtron]

I played the SoR2 demo, didn't like it, but thought the first game looked interesting. It happened to be on sale for 75% off, so I got it (and the DLC for $1). My most memorable run so far was playing as the comedian. I told a joke, but it offended my audience, which included some cops who decided to try doing an extrajudicial execution on me for the crime of having a bad sense of humor. While running away from them, I knocked on a stranger's door and told them another joke; this one landed much better and was so funny that they decided to sacrifice their life to protect me.

[@KhaosElement]

Legit one of my favorite games ever. Can't wait for the sequel, hype beyond reason. Excellent work sir!

[@easilydistractedgames]

Thanks! Yeah thought you might enjoy this one. What's your favourite character?

[@KhaosElement]

My personal favorite was the assassin for base characters. I made an insanely fun assassin/zombie custom character though. Sneak up, assassinate one guy, let the plague spread.

[@patriksvensson2360]

Wow! I seriously need to step up my vanilla gameplay and rock some cracking mayhem!

[@adreesmaqsoodi3339]

My favorite character so far has been the goon with the ability of having a very fun big quest

[@easilydistractedgames]

Ahh what is it? I haven't tried him properly yet

[@dmdeign7116]

Man, I can't wait for Streets of Rogue 2 this year!

[@karih701]

Perfect timing. I saw super rare games is doing a physical for switch. I hadnt heard of the game

[@easilydistractedgames]

Yeah I saw that in their discord! Now I just wish I had a switch.

[@andrewlodge8065]

No way! I'm buying that for sure!

[@joogled1839]

@@easilydistractedgames how have you held out on buying a switch?... it's 2024, buy that zelda switch lite and sell it for 3x the price in future.

[@BlackNomad1]

I love this game so much. I have owned and completed it on ps4, Nintendo switch and most recently on my Xbox. If I had a pc I’d probably buy and complete it on that too! 😂

[@JDMaroney]

I love the demolitionist! Also my favourite. But im also a fan of the hacker, and i love the shapeshifter!

[@filioperibeiro6285]

This game deserves way more love !

[@easilydistractedgames]

It sure does! But the second one will too I'm sure.

[@TheChuDragon]

algorithhhhmmmm!!!!!!!

[@JDMaroney]

Algorithm reply!

[@TheChuDragon]

@@JDMaroney yessss!! How long can we keep this up?!!

[@MICKEYrenraw]

one of my favourtie indie games, i just wish the dlc added more then just more characters to play as, why not new weapons, npcs, pois, zones, secrets, mayhem events....

[@easilydistractedgames]

Yeah I know what you mean. I guess Matt wanted to focus more on the sequel and put more time and effort there.

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

There's even an unofficial android port, though it's an older version and partially in Chinese (most seems to be in English though). Harder than mouse + keyboard, but pretty playable.

[@easilydistractedgames]

That's amazing. I wish there was an official port, it would make for a great mobile game as I think it works well on the Steam Deck.

[@punk_noodles]

reminds me of warcraft 3 custom game called life

[@andrewlodge8065]

Love this game!

[@mattdekker5693]

i prolly just dont get it, I played thru first level, died and got no currency to progress with, got bored and havent tried it again for awhile.

[@easilydistractedgames]

It is a lot more fun to play with a friend or two. But also the sequel is coming out relatively soon

[@ChocolateChipcookiie]

imagine this but it's an fps with ultrakill graphics.

[@easilydistractedgames]

That's a very interesting concept actually! Wonder if something like that exists because I'd definitely play it

[@KamadoTanjiro_6571]

I've been given a rare video by algorithm

[@easilydistractedgames]

Glad you stumbled upon it!
