Atmospheric and gruelling motion roguelikes are throughout us today, however they beautiful a lot all contain heading into dungeons, scaling towers, or escaping otherworldly realms on foot. Effectively, within the newly-revealed Scaravan 66, you’re lucky sufficient that protagonist Fortunate has handed her check, as a result of this roguelike is all about brutal vehicular fight.
In a considerably related vein to one of many best roguelikes of all time, Hades, Scaravan 66 offers you one easy, overarching activity – escape from a hell-like realm. Whereas Supergiant’s basic takes place within the Greek underworld, Scaravan 66 sees you trapped by the Satan on a unending hellish freeway – the temptation for an AC/DC pun is robust proper now.
