Roguelikes come in a variety of flavors, and with Streets of Rogue 2, the genre will merge with the equally popular open-world format. While the original Streets of Rogue never attained the widespread recognition of Stardew Valley or Hades, it is an indie hit with near-uniformly positive reviews. Matt Dabrowski, the solo developer of the series, is hard at work on the sequel, rebuilding the original game's systems in procedurally generated open worlds.
