If you grew up with a controller in your hand and a blue robot on your screen, you’ll want to pay attention. Indie developer Alloy Mushroom has officially announced that their high-octane, Mega Man-inspired 2D roguelike brawler, Super Alloy Crush, is set to launch into Steam Early Access on April 8, 2026.

Following a successful demo period earlier this year, the studio is ready to let players dive back into the frantic world of cosmic treasure hunting.

What is Super Alloy Crush?

Imagine the tight platforming and boss-slaying DNA of Mega Man X fused with the “just one more run” addiction of a modern roguelike. Set aboard the spaceship Ranger, you take control of two distinct Cosmic Hunters—Muu and Kelly—as they battle across planets in search of the ultimate treasure on Planet AE-38.

Unlike its predecessor, Super Alloy Ranger, this latest entry shifts the focus toward a “head-on” combat system. Say goodbye to frustrating contact damage and hello to fluid, high-speed combos.

The Cosmic Hunters

Each character offers a completely different way to play:

Muu (Unit-02): A close-combat specialist who uses energy claws to launch enemies into the air for devastating aerial juggles.

Kelly: A tactical human warrior who favours ranged firearms and martial arts, perfect for those who like to control the battlefield from a distance.

Key Features at Launch

Alloy Mushroom isn’t holding back for the Early Access release. Players can expect:

3 Full Story Chapters: Uncover the mysteries of the treasure planet.

7 Major Bosses: Massive, screen-filling entities with their own “Overdrive” attacks.

100+ Combat Skills: Use Chips and Tech Arts to customise your build—think infinite energy or multiple air-jumps.

Local Co-op: Grab a friend and chain together explosive combo attacks.

Multiple Game Modes: Including Story Mode, Battle Rush (the pure roguelike experience), and the Ultimate Challenge.

Roadmap & Pricing

The game will launch at $11.99 USD, but early birds can snag a 10% discount during the first two weeks. Alloy Mushroom has already promised at least four major free updates during the Early Access period, which will include new characters, the conclusion of the story, and even more “ghost” enemy types.

“We believe working side-by-side with players is the best way to create an outstanding game,” says the developer. “Early Access lets us refine this high-energy experience with real feedback.”

Super Alloy Crush looks like a love letter to 16-bit action fans, wrapped in a modern, replayable package. Be sure to wishlist it on Steam now so you’re ready for the April 8th drop!
