Rounds 1.05

Rounds is an intense 1v1 roguelite shooter that will test your reflexes and strategic thinking. Developed by Landfall, this paid action game offers a unique twist where the losing player gets to unlock upgrades, making it harder for the winner to maintain their advantage in the next round.

With its 2D shooting concept, Rounds may remind you of games like Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 or Holodrive. However, don't be fooled by its simple character design, as it requires quick reflexes and a bit of strategy to make the most of the available upgrades. Prepare yourself to shoot, run, jump, and block your way to victory in this two-dimensional battleground.

One of the addictive aspects of Rounds is its interactive environment. You'll encounter dangling blocks that are notoriously difficult to stand on, as well as towers of destructible terrain that can be used for protection or to hinder your enemies. You can even shoot or kick certain structures to make them swing or collapse, adding a strategic element to your 1v1 battles.

Rounds supports both local and online multiplayer, with Twitch-based matchmaking. Whether you want to challenge your friends or take on random opponents, the choice is yours. Additionally, the game offers an AAA Face Customizer, allowing you to create unique and animated faces to intimidate your opponents or simply express yourself.

The weapons in Rounds are nothing short of outrageous. Starting with basic bullet-like projectiles, you can upgrade them throughout the game. By the late stages, you'll be shooting multiple lasers or even homing missiles. While some players may miss having a crosshair, the availability of tracer rounds and homing rockets more than compensates for it.

With its simple yet addictive design choices, Rounds offers an easily addictive player vs player (PVP) experience. Whether you're playing with friends or testing your skills against strangers, this game will challenge your shooting and deck-building abilities. Despite its seemingly plain character designs, the customization options allow you to stand out from the crowd. Rounds is definitely a game worth trying.
