@RockPaperShotgun Frozenbyte, the developers behind Trine, have announced Has-Been Heroes, a roguelike action rpg.

So!

You have a lineup of heroes from regular fantasyfolk like rogues and wizards to more esoteric ones like, ah, luchadors. Frozenbyte say they can be powered up with hundreds of different items and spells. They talk about combining spells and learning new elements too, which sounds a bit Magicka-y.

As for the roguelikelike part, it looks like it's made into runs, with each deadly try bringing new level layouts (made of rooms connected by branching paths) and the luck of the drop. To my eyes, at least; I can only see what you see.

Has-Been Heroes is due to launch this March. Frozenbyte are also working on a Magicka-lookin' wizard 'em up, Nine Parchments.
More information.

Looks interesting and I have faith in the dev. Although, the combat system seems to be a kind of continous-turn-based system, meaning you wait for cooldown and mash buttons. Not exactly my dream system…

The product was featured during the Switch conference.

Mashing buttons and cool downs do not sound compatible.
