About This Game

1. Forge Your Legendary Squad​​

• ​​Unique Characters:​​ Recruit interstellar warriors, each with their own distinct background story, vibrant personality, and exclusive skill trees.

• ​​Deep Progression:​​ Spend valuable resources earned in battle to unlock branching talent paths for each member. Tailor their abilities—bolster weaknesses or amplify strengths—to craft the perfect squad that matches your tactical vision.

• ​​Unlimited Skill Crafting:​​ Each hero possesses 6 skill slots. Collect and equip powerful skills with unique effects and upgradable levels. Take customization further by adding customizable "Affixes" to your skills, forging truly unique and devastating ultimate skill combinations. Experiment, strategize, and discover your most potent tactical builds!

​​2. Explore the Radioactive Galactic Wastes​​

• ​​Perilous Journey:​​ Depart from the safety of your starship to traverse planets devastated by the catastrophic radiation wave from the dying blue giant "Hecate". Once-familiar star systems are now overrun by frenzied, mutated terrors.

• ​​Strategic Scouting:​​ Land on procedurally generated planetary maps. Assess surrounding regions for threat levels, enemy intel, and potential rewards. Plan each move carefully—chart your course and choose your objectives wisely.

​​3. High-Stakes Combat: A Test of Strategy​​

• ​​Turn-Based Tactical Duels:​​ The battlefield shifts instantly each turn! Enemies reveal their intentions first—showing targets and abilities—before you act.

• ​​Critical Choices:​​ Confronted with clear threat warnings, make decisive choices from your randomly assigned hand of hero skills. Should you unleash all-out offense to eliminate the gravest threat? Shift to defense to protect allies? Or cleverly exploit unique mechanics to disrupt enemy formations?

• ​​Dynamic Skills & Re-rolls:​​ A fresh, randomized selection of skills each turn ensures no two battles play the same. Discover the theoretical "optimal move" through sharp tactical thinking. Dissatisfied with your random draw? Use limited Re-rolls wisely! Made a mistake? The instant Undo feature allows you to rethink and perfect your plan.

• ​​Constant Variety:​​ Each area features unique, procedurally generated enemy combinations. Every encounter demands new tactical approaches. Surviving hinges on the intelligent use of skills and collected items.

​​4. Rich Loot & Endless Progression​​

• ​​Potent Item Synergies:​​ Successfully clearing map challenges rewards you with powerful, random items. A vast arsenal offers near-limitless combination potential. Mix and match items with your heroes and skills to unlock diverse, unimaginable playstyles.

• ​​Hero Specialization Paths:​​ Back at base, invest battle-earned resources to deepen your squad's talent trees. Need more healing? Cultivate your Medic's potential. Lacking damage output? Enhance your Assault Specialist's destructive power. Your choices shape the team's evolution, preparing you for the challenges of even more dangerous star systems.
