Is it me or does it seem like we’re getting a lot of Space set Rogue-like games in the coming months - let alone this Jan? No matter, here’s another one.

Done in a pixelated art style that screams 80s comic book stylings, plus with a spoonful of amusing dark humour; you take control of a mad space scientist and his crew of clones (who are susceptible to perma-death).

The game is pulsing with appealing character and the mechanics aim for fun and accessibility than the usual obtuse systems of this specific sub-genre. The previews have been particularly positive as well.
