Solid Cryptark sequel
Only a bit over 2 hours in at time of writing. But the game is pretty much Cryptark in 3D. Roguelike randomly generated starships populated with several systems, which, when destroyed, will affect the difficulty (Disable turrets, stop spawning of more enemies, remove shielding of a core system etc.) The action is fast and fun, but rush at your own peril, as the enemies can and will blend in with the backgrounds and seem to sneak up on you if you don't move in with a slight bit of care. A large set of weapons and 4 different fire buttons makes some versatility in the builds. And the random spawning of weapons means your runs has incentive to switch up weapons, though you can always buy your favourite between missions if you have the money. My biggest problem at present is, the graphics can be a bit hard to read at time, along with some of the visual effects which make the game kind of hard to read at times. At 2 hours I'm still having fun, but as with most roguelikes, the game could fall into the trap of becoming repetetive and samey too quickly. I know Cryptark got a bit rote, but certainly a good translation to 3D
