Steam Marines is a Squad-Based Tactical Roguelike being developed by Worthless Bums. It features: - 2D retro-styled art and turn based action. - Procedurally Generated Levels. - A squad of combatants fighting for their lives in monster filled levels. - Use your squad to cover defensive positions or funnel enemies into chokepoints to blow them up. Steampunk spaceship under attack by aliens, you say? The aim of the game is to progress through the various decks of your besieged steampunk spaceship in order to repel the alien invaders and get out of dodge. It features permadeath and will have a recruitment system. Build your squad members into deadly, long-range marksmen, or up-close-and-personal death machines. But no one is invincible, and if someone dies you'll have to replace him/her with a raw recruit. If the entire squad dies it's game over.
This is the Steam Marines v0.6.0a gameplay trailer. It showcases new art assets, music, Guard Mode which allows your marines to fire automatically during enemies' turns, and a host of other new features!
The music in this is really awesome but there is a Durex commercial playing over it on the side ;_;
Sorry about that! You can mute it by clicking on the volume icon on the upper right hand corner, though. My article isn't authorized yet, but the music was composed by Levan over at vel9studios.com
Never noticed. I was too engaged in this awesome song.
intresting :)
that looks pretty solid. Will give it a try later...
Love the style!
