Sidescrolling roguelike action game Anomaly President announced

Indie developer Phew Phew Games has announced Anomaly President, a new sidescrolling roguelike action game follow-up to Anomaly Agent.

Anomaly President is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and has no release date, though it will release in early access.

Players can expect the early access version to be fully playable from start to finish and will let you enjoy activities like presidential campaigning, battling enemies and bosses, and customizing your campaign bus. The story ending isn’t complete though, and not all of the map is accessible.

Here’s a rundown on the new game, plus its reveal trailer:
