Luden.io's SuperWEIRD Sets 2027 Release, Opens Steam Playtests
The pitch ties factory throughput directly to combat power and makes map assembly part of the build, which puts SuperWEIRD in the small space where automation games and squad roguelites overlap.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
Luden.io is developing SuperWEIRD, an automation roguelite for up to four players in co-op, scheduled for release in 2027. Players direct clumsy work robots with placed flags to build production lines, ferry materials, and supply weapons to combat bots fighting the Goofy Goo. The planet is split into grid fragments players reconnect, and rescued residents grant perks such as more HP, higher inventory stack limits, and faster movement. The Steam store page is recruiting playtesters.
The playtest signup runs through the Steam store page, with release set for 2027. Flags, not direct unit orders, are how players steer the work robots: placing them sets routes and work locations, and connecting production steps to delivery lines keeps better weapons flowing to the combat bots.
The enemy Goofy Goo is the entity that shattered the planet, and its subordinate creatures and giant robot bosses eat resources and structures, so production and defense have to move together. Residents rescued from the corruption return to base and grant perks when befriended.
