Brand New Roguelite from Devolver Digital: Minos
Devolver Digital’s surprise announcement has made waves in the gaming world. The new roguelite, Minos, has already garnered attention with its unconventional atmosphere and unique gameplay. This time, players will step into the shoes of the legendary Minotaur, build their own labyrinth, and embark on a fierce battle against invaders. The demo released alongside the announcement offers a first look at the game.
Master Your Own Labyrinth with Minos
Minos aims to bring a new twist to the classic roguelite formula. This time, players control not an ordinary hero, but the mythological creature Minotaur. Their mission is to stop the flesh-and-blood adventurers who enter the labyrinth and destroy them with prepared traps. Each attempt features different enemies, different paths, and different strategies, making each game unique.
One of the game’s most striking features is its labyrinth-building mechanics. Walls, doors, passages, and corridors can be positioned as desired. Choose between long, trap-filled paths or complex passages to guide enemies. The options are entirely left to the player’s creativity, creating an experience where strategy and action intertwine.
Another feature Minos offers is its chain trap system. Pressure plates, thorns, blades, fire traps, and giant boulders can be combined to create complex death traps. This system allows players to trick adventurers into thinking they’re progressing, only to disrupt their plans with a single move. Each step can culminate in a clever surprise.
The game’s narrative is also enriched with mythological touches. The Minotaur’s dark past, why Daedalus built the labyrinth, and the events surrounding Theseus’ arrival add a unique depth to the roguelike experience. This not only provides action but also a compelling narrative.
Minos once again proves Devolver Digital’s innovative approach. Its maze-building mechanics, blending both strategy and action, offer a fresh perspective on the roguelite genre. Excitement is already building for the game, which is set to release in 2026.
