For those of you who have enjoyed rogue like games like FTL: Faster than Light and Dungeons of Dredmor, Sword of the Stars: The Pit is another rogue like game that you might enjoy. I searched and didn't find a topic about the game and so decided to make one about this beautiful game that I have been enjoying for the last few days. The game is brutal (like all rogue likes) and is extremely enjoyable....once you make peace with the fact that death is inevitable lol. It is a sci-fi rogue like set in the SoTS universe. You have a choice of three different character classes (Marine, Scout, Engineer) and each class has different strengths and weaknesses. The game has an intricate crafting system and many, many items and is simple yet incredibly complex....and also super super hard (like all rogue likes). I bought it on steam, but it is available on other services and only costs roughly $10 usd. For all fans of rogue like games, get this game. You won't be disappointed....but you might be frustrated lol .

With the release of two expansions the game is harder than ever. But on normal difficulty and even with some characters on hard difficulty, I don't think much RNG is required for success. Although you can always play the Seeker for an easier time, I'm trying to do more non-psionic runs to challenge myself. I have some youtube videos up: Scout (Normal) complete playthrough Part 1: Warrior (Normal) ongoing playthrough Part 1: | ||
