Eternal Space Rogue

Fight to survive on an isolated space station surrounded by hostile aliens. Wield massive weapons, run out of ammo, run away screaming, and die horribly all alone with no-one to rescue you.

Then try again!

ESR is a hardcore iron man roguelike. There is no saving, respawning, or chance of survival. If you survive, it's obviously a delusional fantasy caused by the stream of gruesome deaths you've experienced. You can just try to do better than last time.

The gameplay is highly tactical, with a wide variety of weapons and limited ammo which you must master and use efficiently to even stand a chance.

Made for the 7DRL (7 day roguelike) games jam 2023!
