Sobaka Studio has announced that their monochrome roguelike platformer, Gennady, will be released on a range of platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, alongside its previously announced PC (Steam) version in Q4 2026. This is exciting news for fans of the genre, as Gennady promises a brutal and fast-paced experience. The game's premise is intriguing, placing players in the shoes of Gennady, who wakes up in an alien meat factory, surrounded by chthonic creatures. To escape, players must use their fists, alien weaponry, and even their own body as a projectile, all while navigating through procedurally generated levels. The game's hand-drawn art style and rage-fueled gameplay add to the intensity, allowing players to enter Rage Mode and become an invulnerable force. The game's roguelike elements allow for permadeath, but players can bend the rules by shooting collected artifacts and carrying them into the next run, as well as upgrading Gennady's abilities and weapons to tackle colossal boss encounters. The announcement of the console versions is a perfect fit for those who love tough warriors in tough situations, and the game's unique premise and fast-paced action are sure to keep players engaged. With its release on multiple platforms, Gennady is poised to become a popular title for roguelike and platformer fans alike.
