XD Games and Big-Cat Studio have announced that their highly anticipated action sci-fi roguelike Unhappy Raccoon will finally be launching tomorrow, October 8th. After a few beta test runs and numerous other successful tests, the full game will be in players' hands in only a matter of hours. Unhappy Raccoon has been in the sights of many a roguelike fan for quite some time, pretty much since being announced earlier this year.
Since then, there’s been a fair few beta tests that have gotten players really excited for the unique spin on the genre it introduces. The general vibe of Unhappy Raccoon is pretty darn different, taking players on a spacefaring adventure featuring a cast of loveable animal-based character designs, each with their own unique abilities that you can take into the battlefield.
As you blast apart hordes of various enemies, you’ll explore randomly generated levels that hold a ton of different challenges and even more rewards.
Upon beating these levels, you can then invest these rewards into different upgrade paths that will make each run consecutively easier until, if you’re lucky, you’ll reach the true ending and complete the game. Even then, as is the case with a lot of modern roguelikes, that’s when the true game begins and you unlock various challenge modes and new difficulty modifiers.
