Loot Rascals, a roguelike with a retro sci-fi aesthetic, collectible card game elements, and “steal or share” multiplayer, will launch on PlayStation 4 and PC on March 7.
Created by London-based developer Hollow Ponds, a team including an Adventure Time animator and Hohokum developers, Loot Rascals’ intrepid astronauts explore a procedurally-generated planet filled with goofy alien baddies as they search for their robot pal’s stolen head.
When astronauts are killed, monsters steal their best card and appear in another player’s game. The choice to return or steal these cards invokes the help or wrath of the original owner’s hologram.
