FutuRats is taking Compulse, a roguelite where both sides plan in secret and act at once, to Milan Games Week this November.
FutuRats is an independent studio founded in Turin in 2023, and it also did additional development on Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, which Slitherine developed and published. Its official website is now live, and Compulse is already open for wishlisting on Steam, where it is listed for PC.
Compulse is a simultaneous-turn tactical roguelite. The player and the enemy plan their moves in secret, and then every action plays out at the same moment. That makes every turn a bet on what the opponent will do, and neither side waits for the other. Steam tags the game as roguelite, turn-based tactics, sci-fi, and procedural generation.
FutuRats will attend Milan Games Week & Cartoomics. The show will run from Friday, 27 to Sunday, 29 November 2026 at the Fiera Milano in Rho, just outside Milan. Doors open at 10:30 and close at 20:00 each day. The studio says visitors can try the game hands-on at its stand in the Indie Dungeon, the show’s indie area and a showcase for independent video games. Media and creators can also book a meeting at the stand.
Battles are 3v3 and played across a branching map of nodes, with difficulty that rises in fine steps. The player leads a squad of evolving bio-organic Compulsors through compact alien arenas, grafting mutations onto them so the squad can adapt to whatever comes next. It’s single-player. Defeating rivals lets you take their powers and add them to your own arsenal. The look is retro-futuristic bio-horror, with a psychedelic soundtrack.
The game is listed for PC only, through Steam, and no consoles are mentioned. The minimum spec is Windows 10 64-bit, 4 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560. Steam says specs may change during development. There’s no release date or price yet: the Steam page says the release date is “To be announced”.
A Steam wishlist gets you notified when Compulse becomes available.
