Ananias Roguelike: Version 2.4 Released


Slashing Dragon released version 2.4 of Ananias, his cross-platform roguelike, in mid-June. As per usual, you can buy it for different platforms from a number of online storefronts. The Standard Edition can of course be played online, right now, via the official web version (or via Newgrounds or GameJolt); the Android port can be obtained via the Play Store, and the WindowsOS X, and Linux ports can be obtained from itch.io. The paid Fellowship Edition, meanwhile, can be obtained for Android from the Play Store as well; the iOS version is available from the App Store, and the WindowsOS X, and Linux ports can be found at either Steam or itch.io.
