6 itemsAbout the Game
Moonstrider is an action-packed space rogue-like where you sail through space with rocket boots, fight deadly and cunning aliens, and explore the galaxy. Each playthrough features uniquely generated solar systems to ensure that no two games are ever the same. Chart your flight path from planet to planet to minimize danger, or dive headlong against formidable foes for greater rewards. Fortunately, you're not alone in your attempts to survive: merchants, refugees, and other explorers are all out in space to help you survive - for a price. As you explore the universe, you'll find your crew, uncover ancient secrets, and if you're really really lucky, make it back to Earth alive.
