Insurmountable Release Date Set In Stone, Now Climb It

Rogue-likes dominate these days, but how about something a little different where the same rules apply, only the task at hand is climbing an Insurmountable mountain?

From ByteRockers’ Games, this adventure rogue-like puts players up against the elements as they have to ascend three consecutive mountains, each increasing in difficulty as you progress. These stages are Standard, Hard and Insurmountable. With a careless mistake, you will end your run and return to the first mountain.

Three mountains don’t sound much. My office is three flights of stairs, and that’s bad enough, but these are mountains. Besides the ‘dynamic and ever-changing weather, different terrain, and the day-night cycle’, they’re also procedurally generated, so you can’t learn the best route.

It’s all about strategy and survival instincts as you’ll combat a lack of oxygen (apparently required for breathing), freezing winds and disgruntled wildlife. It may be the closest thing experience to real-life? One mistake, and it’s all over.

Here’s the trailer for Insurmountable:

The Insurmountable release date for Steam is the 29th of April, followed bt the PS4 4/5 and Xbox One X/S at a later date. A Nintendo Switch version is being considered.
