About the Game

Crescent Break is a roguelike that mixes NES-era robot hero goodness with indie classics. The game features permadeath, procedurally generated levels, and randomized abilities. The pieces of robots that you blast apart can be used and upgraded to cause chain reactions and destruction! Upgrades create interesting and over-the-top synergies that make runs chaotic and unique!

Electric upgrades that greatly transform the experience. The parts enemies are made of heal, replenish attacks, cause damage, and start chain reactions... which can all be modified in various ways through upgrades. Synergies will create ridiculous powers, sometimes in unusual ways, but you need such abilities to survive all the way through. Getting the best upgrades require knowledge of the game, luck, and skill.

We combine a large variety of retro influences into something new. Some influences include the classic MegaMan games for player movement, Nuclear Throne's "juicy" game feel, and Spelunky for creatively deadly situations that the players find themselves in.

  • Permadeath!

  • Unique attacks including swords, blasters, and explosions!

  • Game-changing upgrades and powers!
