Open-world, roguelike, space RPG in which you play an elite starship pilot. Tactical, turn-based ship-to-ship combat in a rich, sci-fi setting.

## About This Game

Relic Space is an open-world, roguelike, space RPG in which you help rebuild
civilisation following a galactic catastrophe, by completing a mix of
handcrafted and procedurally generated missions for your faction. Playing an
elite starship pilot, engage in tactical, turn-based ship-to-ship combat with
an innovative, fluid feel.

## Tactical turn-based space combat
Use your tactical skills on a hex grid with ‘one-tile-per-turn’ mechanics
inspired by traditional roguelikes, but with a fluid, modern feel.
## Real Space
Movement rules based on actual space physics: motion in a straight line is
free, but turning, starting or stopping cost energy.
## Deep Simulation
Realistic combat mechanics simulate damage to individual ship components. Each
weapon, engine or utility item can catch fire, leak power, and acquire many
more status effects.
## Open World
Explore a vast procedurally generated solar system with handcrafted elements.
Factions and NPCs pursue research, trade, construction projects, and other
goals irrespective of your actions – though your actions affect their success
or failure!
## Flexible development
Use your growing reputation and influence to acquire more powerful ships and
equip them with countless weapon and utility combinations. Acquire new
piloting abilities through a flexible skill tree.
## Immersive setting
Uncover a rich, branching narrative threaded with endless procedurally
generated stories in a detailed setting inspired by hard sci-fi.

It is the year 2612 and the galaxy lies in ruins. You are a member of Omega,
the elite pilot wing of a community of survivors known as the Order.

Originally an elite military organization set up to protect posthumanity from
high-impact, low-probability threats, the Order is a community of genetically
engineered supersoldiers with a fierce sense of tradition.

After failing to prevent the devastation known as the Fall, their core aim is
to recover lost knowledge and rebuild civilization. But recent events show an
emergent new threat to their very existence…

The early Alpha version of the game contains a tutorial, followed by a limited
selection of randomized mission types in the open-world solar system.

You can engage in combat, purchase equipment, research relics, acquire skills
and boost your faction stats by completing missions, though there is currently
only a very limited range of equipment, skills, factions and mission types.
