The possibilities are only limited by your own imagination. That could be befriending a thief you find roaming about, blowing a hole through the wall with an RPG, or breaking a window and entering in through the back.
Each floor is littered with questionable NPCs (drug dealers, gang members, doctors, the list goes on and on) that you can interact with or just outright kill for gits and shiggles, with containers to loot, and locked areas that you will have to enter by any means at your disposal. If you elect to ignore these options and play the vanilla game, it basically feels like a throwback RPG/rogue-lite set in a GTA inspired world where you’ll be tasked with completing two random/character specific quests per floor. Between the huge cast of characters (and the option to create your own from scratch), upgrades, and mutators (which are available after the short tutorial), the game can be whatever you want it to be. On the surface, this looks like any other rogue-lite on the market, but in reality, it’s so much more. Streets of Rogue is a rogue-lite that takes this theme and busts through it like the Kool-Aid Man holding a bald eagle with sparklers in his mouth, all while shooting off some old fashioned boom sticks.
While sandbox games give you the option to ignore the narrative completely in favor of running amok, you’re still going to be playing by the rules of the game in most cases. “Freedom” in games is a term that is used frequently, and rarely implemented in any meaningful way.
