relic space

London-based studio Fourfold Games has released the early access version of their roguelike strategy RPG Relic Space on Steam. It’s the second science fiction roguelike for the team, who previously released Xenomarine in 2019. The setting is post-apocalyptic, but in space, meaning there’s an entire galaxy in ruins (something REALLY bad must have happened). You’re the commander of the Omega, an elite fleet of space pilots in search of ancient relics from your civilization’s advanced past. Tracking down the relics is crucial to rebuild your society, but there’s a lot that will get in your way. With procedurally generated worlds, every game is different and every corner of the galaxy is unexplored. Tactical turn-based space combat: Use your tactical skills on a hex grid with fast-paced ‘one-tile-per-turn’ mechanics – inspired by traditional roguelikes but with a fluid, modern feel. Deep simulation: Realistic combat mechanics simulate damage to individual ship components. Each weapon, engine or utility item can catch fire, leak power, and acquire many more status effects.
