Voidigo, the best roguelite shooter since Nuclear Throne, has left early accessDon’t avoid a go
Don’t avoid a go
Boy howdy,Voidigois lively. ThinkNuclear Thronebut weirder. Every sprite oozes a frantic combination of energy and personality, from the steel-eyed sprint of your starting gun-bird-thing to the bobbing scuttle of the cyclops clayfish boss. Guns have punch, stomps have oomph, reward boxes have merry jingles. It’s a top-down roguelike shooter that does everything right, and seldom have I seen a game more deserving of its Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam.
It left early access 11 days ago, which is 11 days you could have spent splatting crustaceans and wasps with skeleton trombones and deadly finger guns.

Less normal is the way those boss fights work, which don’t wait for you at the end but instead come at you in the middle of a level. Bosses are damageable but not killable until you stomp on all the void beacons scattered across each level, which keeps you on your toes and means you get this pleasing rhythm as you transition from huntee to hunter.
If you’ve already dabbled while it was in early access, new challenges, weapons, power-ups, enemies, areas and more are waiting for you with the 1.0 update. Full patch notes arehere.
If you haven’t played yet and you’re a Nuclear Throne-liker, you’re in for a treat. Voidigo is yours for £16/$19/€18.50from Steam.
