About the Game

Instead of wielding sword and shield, you will fly a sentinel 001 through mysterious, randomly generated space dungeons.



  • Repair and pilot 8 space vessels
  • Explore 7 alien dungeons
  • Collect and unlock over 100 relics that change how you play
  • Wield 12 unique weapons
  • Navigate puzzle rooms, asteroid fields, and booby-trapped space stations

Features

  • Procedural Level Generation: Every run is unique with levels randomly assembling from a pool of 50+ hexagons. Each floor contains a combination of combat, shop, puzzle, quest, and boss rooms.
  • Randomized Item Drops: With over 150 items to discover, the player can customize their ship however they like. Every level contains a random distribution of firearms, power-ups, and robotic allies. Synergies are waiting to be built.
  • Permanent Death: There is no mercy for those who crash-land. Death in the dungeon means restarting the first floor with no items.
  • Inter-Run Progression: Although death is permanent, a persistent resource allows the player to unlock new ships without hitting defined checkpoints. Defeating each of the 7 levels unlocks a variety of new game elements, along with that dungeon’s marquee faction core.
