About the Game

Wrath and Retribution is an intense, high-speed space combat roguelike where every mission forges you into an unstoppable force.

The Remnants have seized the solar system’s transit network in a single coordinated strike - and you are spearheading the counter attack.

You are Specter One, pilot of the Retribution, a one-of-a-kind prototype armed with the experimental Specter Drive and its signature displacement dash that lets you tear through enemy fleets with brutal precision.

Earn powerful weapons and upgrades with every engagement, build devastating synergies with your companion Merlin, and grow more lethal with every run.

PLAN. FIGHT. LOOT.

Each hub is an active warzone - a mission map packed with hostile formations to engage, shipyards to resupply at, and a transit node known as an Array to liberate at the end. Pick your targets wisely: every mission costs Array stability, and how you plot your path determines how prepared you are when you reach the final showdown.

Missions are immediate and intense. Enemy groups range from light fighter squadrons to capital ships bristling with turrets and escorts. Tear through their ranks with your weapon loadout, the Specter Drive’s displacement dash, and Merlin’s combat abilities - then choose your rewards and plot your next move. The higher the risk, the fiercer the fight and the better the rewards.

KEY FEATURES

  • High-Speed Space Combat
    Master dogfights and overwhelming warship battles with speed, precision, and the Specter Drive’s displacement dash at the heart of every engagement.

  • Weapons Hot
    Every mission drops you straight into the action - intense, focused, and rewarding from the first second to the last.

  • Forge Your Arsenal
    Earn and upgrade your gear after every mission, invest in permanent ship upgrades that expand your options and firepower, and stack combinations until your arsenal becomes something the Remnants weren’t prepared for.

  • Merlin: More Than a Co-Pilot
    Your onboard companion automatically fires abilities in combat - shields, hacks, reactor overloads and more. Upgrade Merlin’s skills to create powerful synergies that change how you fight.

  • A Solar System at War
    Each planet hub is a distinct warzone with its own enemies, loot pools, and escalating challenge - and a powerful Remnant capital ship standing between you and liberation.
