About this game

A tactical squad-based rogue-lite RPG set in an endless interplanetary rebellion against an evil authoritarian empire. Fusing a reactive, tactical turn-based battle system that emphasizes interrupts and counters, with a procedurally generated and emergent mission-based campaign and an intelligent Adversary system with enemy officers that evolve and move up in the ranks, every playthrough is unique, challenging, and never the same.
