The developer is retiring the free game that first put it on Steam, calling it outdated, and directing players to the sequel instead of keeping the original around.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Independent developer ANTENNA GAMES will end distribution of the free-to-play roguelite shooter Ogre Chambers DX on Steam on August 4. Players who add the game to their library before the deadline can keep playing it. The Finnish studio said the title, its first Steam release, has become outdated from its current perspective. The sequel Ogre Chambers 2222 remains available.
Ogre Chambers DX arrived on Steam in March 2023 as a free game and holds a Very Positive rating, with 91 percent of roughly 150 reviews positive. It casts the player as a small UFO dodging bullet hell in an arena whose obstacles regenerate after each wave, with gravity and shot recoil to manage. ANTENNA GAMES, a Finland-based independent studio, said the title was its first Steam release and has been played by more than 600,000 people.
The developer now considers the game outdated and decided to remove it. The sequel Ogre Chambers 2222 carries a 96 percent positive rating from about 250 reviews and is available from the same studio. Distribution of Ogre Chambers DX ends August 4 local time, and anyone who adds it to the library before then keeps access.
