AI Roguelite is a text-based roguelike RPG on Steam, developed and published by solo developer Max Loh, billed as the first game in which every location, NPC, enemy, item, crafting recipe, and game mechanic is entirely determined by artificial intelligence. It launched in Steam Early Access on March 2, 2022 and reached full release on October 25, 2023.
A large language model generates entities and infinite world exploration, invents crafting results from combined ingredients, and adjudicates combat outcomes based on item names and descriptions, AI-judged plausibility, and dice rolls against character attributes. Every entity receives an AI-generated illustration, rendered either on the player's own GPU or via the cloud.
The game connects to Google Gemini for content generation and also supports OpenRouter and LM Studio, allowing players to run local AI models instead of cloud services. Its store description explicitly positions it as a structured game with real mechanics, in contrast to freeform AI text adventures.
AI Roguelite is a single-player, Windows-only title with 54 Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud support. It is sold as a one-time purchase at $14.99 with a separate soundtrack DLC; players who choose cloud AI models may incur separate third-party API costs.
