Steam Marines ready for a blast! Your squad of four is aboard a mysterious vessel to tactically eliminate any hostile presence and make it out safely in a blaze of turn-based mayhem.
Steam Marines is a squad based Roguelike set on a steampunk spaceship. It features tactical play focused on positioning and careful use of resources. Steam Marines is built to keep you on your toes as you progress through the decks of your besieged ship, clearing enemies and trying to escape.
Features:
Turn and Squad Based Gameplay
Command up to four marines, each with their own gear, stats, skills, and Action Points.Positioning is critical - even a lone enemy can be lethal! Use your Scout to sight and snipe or your Grenadier to funnel enemies into a choke point and blow them up!
Procedural Generation
The steampunk spaceship is composed of multiple decks you must progress through. Different environments and creatures await, and you'll never know for sure what lies beyond the next corner.
Permadeath
Build your marines up into long range or up close death machines, but don't expect any mercy.Death is permanent and if a marine falls he's gone forever.
2D Retro Art
Pixels with attitude. The world of Steam Marines is steampunk, and the environment reflects a world of brass and copper, of mechanical mechanisms and engineering excellence. And guns.
Worthless Bums, the development studio behind this offering, has the current version of the game available for download as part of an ongoing open Alpha, and though there's a lot to add in the time to come, the essence of the gameplay is already there.
This title is also gaining momentum to launch its marines on an assault to the Steam platform, so if you have their six give them the go-ahead on Greenlight.
