Danger Scavenger, a brand new cyberpunk-themed roguelike, is headed to Nintendo Switch and other platforms this year.
Said to be an "intense" affair, Danger Scavenger has players joining up with The Scavengers, a group of outcasts who intend to overthrow evil corporations that rule over the game's dystopian setting. Gameplay revolves around a risk-reward mechanic, with big rewards often coming at a price.
Here's a feature list:
DANGER SCAVENGER MAIN FEATURES:
- Dynamic risk-reward gameplay. Make your choice carefully, face the challenges, and become the hero you always wanted to be! Or... pick the easy way and return with nothing.
- Four unique Scavengers to choose from for a good start and with more to come. Each one has its skills and style of fixing problems of the world: stealth, strategy, rapid-fire action, or maybe a mix? You decide!
- Team with up to four Scavengers to kick the corporation's ass in co-op mode!
- Defeat five greedy corporations. Face 30+ types of enemies, their special versions, and bosses.
- Choose from a large selection of 30+ weapons, 50+ items/upgrades, active and passive, 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 repeated trial and error – followed by many deaths, of course.
- Immersive soundtrack composed by Szymon Weiss.
We must say, these screenshots sure look rather lovely. It'll be launching on PC in Q2 2020, with the console release coming a little later in Q4.

Could be interesting. I'm always willing to give a good roguelite a go to see if it hooks me.
sounds cool! eager to see more!
Cyberpunk used to be about alot more than just a general aesthetic of sorts. It's not a big deal, but the term gets - subjectively - thrown around more and more these days. I just don't want it to become one of those hollow marketing phrases that have long since moved beyond any significant meaning.
If a game is urban, night-time'ish, with plenty of neon lights ... it's just that for the time being and nothing more.
To be fair, I have no real idea what this game will ultimately be like, but from the first look provided, it does not seem that it will really tackle any of the themes connected to this (sub)genre.
I mean, it IS a cool aesthetic though ...
If it looks pinkish and purple-ish then it must be cyberpunk.
Characters seems to have a borderlands-like style. Looks fun, at first!
Do we know if there will be permanent upgrades or unlockables, à la Dead Cells?
This looks like bargain-bin fodder, pass.
