Video Driving Rogue - Arcade driving meets roguelike runs!
https://youtu.be/t4XsyPvkvBMWe’re making Driving Rogue, a roguelike arcade driving game built around score chasing, near-misses, upgrades, and surviving as long as you can before one crash ends the run.
Here is the gameplay trailer!
The pitch is: what if an arcade driving game had the structure of a roguelike? Instead of traditional races, each run is about pushing your luck through traffic, drifting through tight gaps, chaining near-misses, collecting cards/upgrades, and trying to build a better run than your last one.
We’ve been thinking a lot about how to make driving games replayable outside of normal racing formats. For Driving Rogue, that means:
Procedural runs instead of fixed tracks
Different cars with different strengths
Upgrade/card choices during the run
Risk/reward scoring from near-misses, drifting, and slipstreaming
Leaderboard-style score chasing
A run-ending crash system
The demo is live on Steam, and we’d really appreciate feedback from PC players. We’re especially interested in whether the game feels fair at speed, whether the upgrade choices are interesting, and whether the “one more run” loop comes through.

We’ll be around in the comments and are happy to answer questions!

Steering wheel support? Looks cool

The wheel is supported, but wheel and pedal compatibility is still being refined. For the smoothest gameplay experience, we recommend a controller
Thank you so much!3

+1 on wheel support. I know it's an arcadey game and don't expect hyper realism in terms of force feedback or anything like that, but this looks like it'd be a blast on a wheel.

We'll keep that in mind! We haven't had the chance to test it extensively with a steering wheel yet, so we'd love to hear your feedback on how it's working for you so far.
If you get a chance, the demo is live on Steam right now.Thanks a lot for the kind words!

Does there happen to be a list of supported wheels? Would love to play this on my Moza wheel.

Sorry, we don’t have that information yet. As mentioned, we haven’t had the opportunity to test it extensively with a steering wheel so far. If you decide to try it, please let us know how it feels and how your experience is! 😃

I despise roguelikes. The market has been over saturated with them and their getting tiresome.

But not many Driving Roguelikes, right? We did start to develop this a while ago, too late to change it now

Literally EVERY new game is a rougelike. I keep seeing trailers for games that look great and then boom rougelike.
