Noobs Are Coming turns the typical roguelike on its head by putting you in the shoes of the ultimate villain. Instead of playing as a hero, you defend your lair from waves of bumbling noobs using a mix of minions, traps, and devastating boss abilities. Each playthrough challenges your creativity, reflexes, and strategic thinking as the chaos escalates with each wave.
Create Your Perfect Boss Build
Pick from a variety of unique bosses, each with distinct abilities and strengths. Customize your loadout with “boss patterns” that grant offensive attacks, defensive skills, or summonable minions. These combinations allow for countless tactical strategies, from direct damage and area control to intricate crowd management techniques that make the battlefield your playground.
• Active and passive abilities: Mix powerful strikes, buffs, and crowd control effects.
• Summonable minions: Deploy creatures like spiders or plants to fight alongside you.
• Physics-based interaction: Knock objects or enemies around to maximize damage and chaos.
Intense and Replayable Roguelike Action
Each session of Noobs Are Coming lasts about 15–30 minutes, perfect for fast-paced gameplay. Waves of noobs grow increasingly difficult, and defeated enemies drop souls you can spend on upgrades, new patterns, and minions at randomized shops. The unpredictable combination of upgrades ensures that no two runs are ever the same.
• Progressive waves: Face increasingly challenging enemies as you survive longer.
• Randomized shops: Select upgrades that complement your current boss build.
• Variety of strategies: Experiment with different pattern and minion combinations for maximum effectiveness.
