Source-derived summary

Streets of Rogue is a roguelite video game developed by Matt Dabrowski and published by tinyBuild for Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was initially launched in early access in 2017, and was fully released on July 12, 2019.

Gameplay

Streets of Rogue is set in a procedurally generated city consisting of several floors. In order to progress, the players will need to accomplish specific mission goals through the use of special character traits and items. After every death, new gadgets and abilities can be bought for the next session with chicken nuggets earned up to that point. The action is seen from a top-down view, and every level has a different visual theme.

The Home Base is the central base of operations of the Resistance, an organisation created to fight against the tyranny of the Mayor of the city. It is populated by Resistance Leaders and other playable characters. Certain characters will allow the players to trade in Chicken Nuggets earned or provide other services as well.

There are 6 main stages in Streets of Rogue, formed, with the exception of the last, by 3 levels each: Slums, Industrial, Park, Downtown, Uptown and Mayor Village.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Streets of Rogue” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Streets, Rogue and video provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q31625385. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2019.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
