A new contender for the roguelite crown has just hit the digital highway, fusing tower defense with action-roguelite mechanics… and putting the entire operation on wheels. Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road has launched and it’s free to play for Game Pass subscribers.
This brand-new genre mashup from developer Ludogram and publisher Raw Fury is available Day One on PC Game Pass!
It is important to note the game’s staggered release: the Xbox Series X|S console version will be launching at a later date. However, this doesn’t stop the fun! You can play Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road right now via PC Game Pass.
Your Mission: The Ever-Moving City
The world has been overrun by a never-ending army of darkness, and the world’s last hope resides in an ever-moving city that must constantly push forward to the Arch/Ark.
You act as a highly disposable, multi-tasking hero – the peon – who must protect this rolling fortress of destruction from ancient horrors that approach from all sides.
Fortify, Forage, Fight
The core of Rock & Road is a unique loop of three distinct actions, all balanced by constant enemy pressure.
Fortify (Build) – The city must endure! You will reach shelters and buy new districts from the city shop, then strategically choose where you place them. You can add defensive structures like archery outposts, necromancer towers, and even fire-breathing dragons to repel the monsters from the gates.
Forage (Resource Gathering) – You must gather wood, stone, and gold as a persistent peon. This requires you to constantly balance risk vs. reward while fighting back endless armies of monsters. Stray from the beaten path to find richer, rarer rewards, but make sure you get back in time!
Fight (Action Roguelite) – Your job is to protect the city at all costs. You will need to level up your peon, increase your potential through vast player progression, and take charge of special weaponry to continually adapt your strategies. Even if the Peon falls, the run only ends once the city is destroyed. You must jump back into the fight before all hope is lost.
Your Dispatcher’s Briefing
Here is a bulleted summary of what you can expect from this unique simulation:
A New Genre: Tower-Survivor, Action-Rogue-lite on Wheels.
Fortify: Build and upgrade districts and defenses (archery outposts, dragons).
Forage: Gather resources with high risk/reward, straying from the path for rich loot.
Fight: Level up your peon and face Bad Ass Bosses.
The city is moving, the darkness is closing in, and a new rogue-lite obsession is ready to begin. If you’re looking for a chaotic, highly original Game Pass drop, Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road is ready for your command on the Xbox Store and PC Game Pass right now.
