About This Game

The epitome of a modern traditional roguelike: with turn-based play and a RPG-like skill progression system, it hearkens back to some of the major aspects of this genre. This game has an incredible depth, with a deep inventory system, vehicles and boats, NPCs with their own stories, and more.

In this game, you can…

  • …gut an RV to build an armored APC with cameras, remote-controlled doors, solar panels, water collection, and a powered turret.
  • …mutate into things like a cyborg, catgirl, or slime-mold creature, with your DNA rewritten over time by serums or radiation.
  • …hotwire or salvage a car, weld a makeshift ram onto it, and smash through a lab wall or a story gate.

True Roguelike. Turn-based shooter. Permadeath. Tribute to the sci-fi classics of the Golden VHS era. Successor to DRL. Just you and your gun against hordes of horrors and monstrosities. Give them hell to the rhythm of heavy metal.

In this game, you can…

  • …hack sentries and mechs so they switch sides mid-fight and start shooting their own allies.
  • …stack dodge so high you can sprint through bullets, grenades, and explosions and keep swinging an axe.
  • …teleport from enemy to enemy and kill them in a chain instead of walking.
