Team17 and Heliocentric Studios have announced that Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is headed to Nintendo Switch this summer, a co-op adventure for up to four players.
The game has players tackling procedurally-generated dungeons full of enemies and puzzles, as well as exploring the overworld of Tasos in a bid to save its people from the Titans. If you're wanting to team up with friends, you can find other players online or jump in with your loved ones in local co-op.
On top of the multi-level dungeons, you'll also find that you can spend any cash you earn in-game on new weapons and abilities or rebuilding the village of Intori, or you can venture out and uncover new secrets hidden throughout the land. Here's a list of key features:
Key Features
- Roguelite dungeon-crawling: Take on procedurally-generated dungeons packed with a variety of monsters, earning gems to spend on upgrades to get further in the next run
- Adventure together or alone: Up to four players can explore the lands of Tasos and tackle the dungeons, assisting and reviving each other to earn victory together
- Classic gameplay reinvented: This is top-down adventuring brought into the modern day with colourful visuals and a number of options for combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration
No specific release date has been revealed just yet, so that 'Summer 2020' window will have to do for now. We'll make sure to keep an eye out for any more news on this one as and when it arrives.

I initially scanned that as "Ruins of Tescos". Was hoping it would be part one of the "Supermarket Armageddon" triology.
I thought it said "Ruins of Tacos", I became slightly disappointed when I checked the title properly. The game looks promising though, clearly inspired on TLOZ 4 Swords. I'm definitely interested.
This looks interesting. I'm looking for something Gauntlet like to play couch co-op with my wife who's not a big gamer. Unless you count shooting food in Gauntlet
The Link to the Past inspiration runs VERY deep in that trailer! The architecture is almost identical in some aspects. Not complaining as LttP is one of the best games ever created imo, definitely will keep an eye out for this one!
It’s funny that others here misread the title. I read it as “Ruins of Tazo’s” and was ready to bust out my childhood collection
"Procedural dungeons"
I watched until then. Gosh, what´s going on?? I´m out with the Zelda-like indies, I´ll keep on with the classics. Nowadays everything is procedural...
looks messy with four players, and the characters appear to move too quickly.
This looks great and fun!
Mucho Tacos! 🌮
(The name will be a bit confusing maybe but hey, my wallet is ready!)
Looks interesting 🤔
Meh. Not for me. Tired of this style over and over....
Heh, I just read Rogue Heroes, and stopped there.
Hey cool a game with my name in it.
@the_beaver Totally agree! Good old level design is so much better!
