About the game

A spaceship simulation roguelike where you must cross a randomly generated galaxy to deliver intel to your fleet. During combat you can pause, divert power to weapons, shields, engines and more, and assign crew to each section. Random events occur with every jump, and outcomes vary depending on your choices. Judgment in handling crises like fires and oxygen shortages is key.

Why we recommend it

A short but intense strategy roguelike classic where you command the crew and systems of a single small ship as you cross the galaxy.

Good for — Great for: anyone who wants deep strategic decisions in a short amount of time
