This is a 4P co-op (but offline only, so you'll need to use Remote Play) "roguelike skyline crawler". I like the comic-style and bright-color look of it and the sound of 4P co-op, but the entire game being set on rooftops sounds like a red flag to me. They try to make it seem a positive ("Forget about crawling through the dungeons!") but stage design demands variety, and I suspect a full "skyline crawler" will be as monotonous after a while as a full dungeon-crawler. With all these skyscrapers around, you'd think they could design some interesting building interiors, street-level fights and so on. At any rate, it's a nifty little game worth taking a look at when it launches. I am also interested to see if the roguelike claim will be real or just more "rogue-lite" grinding crap like pretty much everything else coming out on Steam these days. Another thing that has me worried is that the trailer is super-brief and shows no co-op and pretty basic action.

This is again by a Polish developer, btw (https://twitter.com/wolk_piotr). A majority of the obscure but cool-looking Steam releases these days are made in Poland. Game dev must be exploding over there.

Deadly efficient. Highly skillful. Invisible to indifferent citizens. They fight the greedy corporations that have entire nations under their thumb. Suits scornfully called them Scavengers.

It was they who first noticed that the situation turned around. And it's the artificial intelligence A.I.O.N.E., who took over the control causing the machines to revolt against their masters.

The time has come. Step out of the shadow to face this new enemy in open battle. Soon A.I. will have to learn how dangerous the Scavengers are.

Evil corporations together with dystopian cyberpunk setting bring doom upon the world. A group of outcasts - Scavengers - once rejected by fate, now glorified and admired decide to overcome the status quo... and of course, loot some great treasures on their way and return to their hideout with a bag full of great treasures... or broken scrap.

You'll crawl higher than ever before.

Danger Scavenger is an intense cyberpunk-themed roguelike skyline crawler which takes you to the roofs of the breathtaking cyberpunk city, where you will face mighty enemies controlled by soulless AI.

Forget about crawling through the dungeons, caves and darkest pits of hell in search for adventures and treasures. The world has changed and new times are coming. You'll be going up and out of the underground to seek new horizons and possibilities.

Become one of the outcasts and set out on a risky hunt in search of liberation and countless riches hidden in huge skyscrapers. The danger is so great that every Scavenger can change history forever... or become another forgotten scrap hunter. Choose your path wisely - big rewards mean even bigger risks!

  • Dynamic risk-reward gameplay: choose your path wisely, face the challenges, and become the hero you always wanted to be! Or... pick the easy way and return with nothing.

  • 4 unique Scavengers (and more will come) to choose from - each one has its skills and style of fixing problems of the world: stealth, strategy, rapid-fire action or maybe a mix of them? You decide!

  • Team with up to 4 Scavengers to kick the corporation's ass in cooperation mode.

  • Defeat 5 greedy corporations. Face 30+ types of enemies, their special versions, and bosses. Choose from a large selection of 30+ various weapons, active and passive 50+ items/upgrades to buy or loot.

  • Unexpected item combinations that you'll discover during your adventures. Just like no two snowflakes are the same, you can never get the same build twice. Design your perfect strategy by many trials and errors, followed by many deaths, of course.

  • You'll crawl higher than ever before - Skyline Crawler takes you to the roofs of the breathtaking cyberpunk city, where you will face mighty controlled by soulless AI.
