Roguecraft DX invades the Amiga: physical edition now available for pre-order

Retro gaming fans and Amiga enthusiasts can now reserve their physical copy of Roguecraft DX, a brand-new modern retro dungeon crawler developed by Badger Punch Games and published by Thalamus Digital Publishing. The game is currently available for pre-order through the Thalamus store, giving collectors and players the opportunity to secure a physical boxed edition before production begins. Pre-orders are open until 12 April 2026, with shipping expected to start around June 2026. Roguecraft DX is an expanded and enhanced version of the acclaimed roguelike originally released for the Amiga. The game takes players deep into the dangerous dungeon world of Mordecoom, where survival depends on careful planning, clever use of items, and quick decision-making. Every playthrough is different thanks to procedurally generated dungeon layouts, meaning that enemies, rooms, treasures, and traps change with each new adventure.

Players can choose between three unique heroes, each offering a different style of gameplay. The Warrior is strong and resilient, making him ideal for beginners who prefer direct combat. The Rogue is faster and more agile, using teleportation abilities and precise strikes to defeat enemies. The Wizard, while more fragile, can unleash powerful magical attacks to eliminate threats from a distance. Learning the strengths and weaknesses of each character is essential for surviving the deeper levels of the dungeon. Gameplay in Roguecraft DX is turn-based, staying true to the classic roguelike formula. Every move counts, forcing players to think strategically about positioning, combat, and resource management. Hidden rooms, mysterious potions, powerful artifacts, and unpredictable enemy encounters keep every run exciting and challenging. Combined with atmospheric pixel-art graphics and a haunting soundtrack, the game captures the charm of classic Amiga titles while delivering a fresh modern experience.

The DX edition expands the original Roguecraft with additional dungeon levels, new monsters, improved animations, extra music tracks, and new gameplay features. These enhancements make it the most complete and refined version of the game so far, offering both newcomers and returning players a deeper and more rewarding adventure. The physical Standard Edition is priced at £34.99 and comes packaged in a collector-style box filled with extras for retro gaming fans. Inside the box players will find a printed manual, stickers, postcards, trading cards, a bookmark, pin badges, and even a developer signature card. The game itself is delivered on a novelty USB “floppy disk”, along with a digital download code for additional convenience. Roguecraft DX for Amiga is distributed as a WHDLoad installation, allowing it to run directly from a hard drive or emulator rather than requiring floppy disks. It supports a wide range of Amiga systems. With new games for classic hardware becoming increasingly popular, limited releases like Roguecraft DX often sell out quickly. Fans of roguelike dungeon crawlers and collectors of modern Amiga titles will want to secure their copy before the pre-order window closes. Combining classic gameplay, beautiful pixel art, and modern improvements, Roguecraft DX proves that the legendary Amiga platform is still capable of delivering exciting new adventures decades after its original debut.
