Description
Cryptark is a 2D roguelike shooter that challenges players with boarding and neutralizing procedurally generated alien starships to earn income for their Privateering enterprise. Purchase improved equipment and weapons to tackle more dangerous targets, but be cautious as failure will result in a loss of investment and profit. The decaying alien arks will defend themselves from intruders with a wide arsenal of cyborg monstrosities, robotics, and security systems, all obstacles that must be surpassed to achieve victory, the destruction of the ship’s central System Core.
  • Complex, procedurally generated alien space-hulks to board and defeat.
  • Challenging, re-playable campaign that tests your strategy and tactics.
  • Over 70 weapons and items, including frag-cannons, tractor-beams, flamethrowers and nukes.
  • Fully lip-synced voice acting brings your fellow shipmates to life.
  • Blood-pumping soundtrack perfect for intense firefights.

The mix of roguelike modes lets you play at different paces, but once I had my one incredible run to victory, I felt like I'd seen everything the game had to offer

Critical Hitby Darryn Bonthuys
7.5/10
Cryptark is unforgiving and merciless in its approach to balancing roguelike elements with a deeper sense of exploration and survival. It may not be to everyone's tastes, but anyone looking to salvage a lengthy dungeon-crawler in space that is heavy on action and challenge will find plenty to love here. And scream about, when a perfect run is cocked up by the ship teleporting in a few heavy reinforcements right on top of you.

Game won't launch

Game crashes at start of new campain. I am aware that users complain, I see no feedback from game developers. Installing video splitter/decoder/filters nor XNA 4.0 doesn't solve the problem. Cannot rate full stars a game that doesn't even launch.

Game breaking bugs

Right when I started to like the game, I got trapped inside a room with no exit. As that happened in the last mission of the mini-campaign, I call this game a total loss. No way in hell is it worth a time and effort, just to not be able to finish the whole game because of such no-go bug

WARNING: Virus alert

The game itself is nice, but it is bundled with a virus. In most cases a am using the Mac version of a game. In this case the game is using some kind of windows emulation. The original windows .exe is bundles in the mac bundle. In reason that my virus scanner can also detect windows virus I found: Gen.Variant.Ursu.435026 The GOG support can not help i case of this an will forward you to support@alientrap.org
