If the player manages to successfully complete them, then they’ll earn some experience points (more on this later).As previously stated, the objectives are randomized at the start of each map, meaning you may be neutralizing a target, smashing a container and retrieving something, blowing up an object, or any of the many, many other tasks that will help overthrow the evil mayor. It is possible to fail these goals - for instance, a character dies that you are supposed to escort to freedom - and still progress. Once these objectives are at least attempted, the player can progress to the next floor.

Each floor is randomly generated and is littered with multiple, randomized objectives to complete. This game wears its identity on its sleeve, as it is a rouge-like and the title clearly gives that impression from minute one. So the player sets off as one of the starting classes and attempts to complete random objectives on each floor, starting at the bottom (the Slums) and working their way up. The premise is simple: there is an evil mayor who is doing evil things and the player must overthrow him by climbing through the various street levels. To start, the player is introduced to the world of Streets of Rogue through a hilarious tutorial that does a perfect job of setting the tone for the game as it shows that both intelligence and humor will be core components to the adventure. In a market saturated with pixelated indie titles, Streets of Rogue stands out as a must-play solo title and becomes instantly cemented as a classic when playing with others in co-op.

Fortunately, it also gives you plenty of reasons to come back for more. There are so many good choices that selecting just one thing feels darn near impossible.

Much like a favorite meal, it is difficult choosing where to begin with Streets of Rogue.
