STRAFE is the worlds bloodiest roguelike first-person shooter! Featuring mind melting secrets and persistent gore that allows you to paint levels red with the excessive entrails of your enemies. 30+ weapons, 20+ enemies, & a red hot soundtrack.
## About This Game
SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: The Surgeon General was brutally murdered by
STRAFE.
STRAFE is a roguelike first-person shooter that generates unique, full levels
every time you play. Hand-crafted rooms are randomly linked together and
filled with a fresh buffet of hungry enemies, so every run provides a new
bloody challenge as you seamlessly slaughter your way through 4 diverse
locations in unknown deep space. With secrets hidden around every corner and
plenty of mechanics to discover, the tutorial is just the start — so explore
& experiment often!
## STRAFE’S FEATURES:
PERMANENT DAMAGE AND GIBS! ÜBER-GORE technology means enemies explode with
fountains of blood, which never fades away. Create wicked works of death art
that mark your explored territory from the unventured.
ENDLESS CHANGING LEVELS! Randomly-generated levels are always different and
violently unpredictable. Rooms, enemies, power ups, monster closets, and
secrets move around every time you die!
FACE MELTING SPEED! The blazing fast action will hit you like the blast wave
of a 50 megaton thermonuclear warhead, liquefying your skin cells and
rupturing your internal organs. Yet still leave you coming back for more.
## STORY

## GAME MODES
+CAMPAIGN – The core experience is a single player roguelike FPS adventure
filled with secrets.

get the high score each day, can you do it?

locked level seed as many times as you want and try to shave your time down
but you have to kill 90% of the enemies in the level before you can cross the
finish line.
+MURDER ZONE – Can you survive 10 rooms of slaughter? Unlock new tools between
attempts to become ruthlessly efficient.
## WHAT STRAFE IS NOT
We don’t want you to buy STRAFE if it’s not a game you’d enjoy. We’d rather
have a happy non-customer than an unhappy customer. This is what STRAFE
isn’t:
\+ STRAFE is not a traditional shooter or a “Quake Clone” – STRAFE pays
homage to many classic shooters, and it features many of the classic elements
of old school shooters but STRAFE is a roguelike. This means that it was
designed from the ground up for replayability and randomization. Every room in
STRAFE was designed by hand and is seamlessly connected by our level
generator to create unique experiences.
\+ STRAFE does not have lives or checkpoints – As a roguelike, if you die in
STRAFE you will start at the beginning of the game and everything will
randomize. The game is balanced around this idea to avoid frustration.
\+ STRAFE is not a multiplayer game – There is no multiplayer deathmatch or
co-op in STRAFE. But we recommend Quake Live if you are looking for a great
old school arena shooter.
\+ STRAFE is not limited to the design decisions of 1996 – What can I say? We
are ahead of our time. STRAFE is a mix of old and new design. We didn’t want
to not imitate the games of the past but instead invoke the feeling of them
while bringing fresh ideas to the table. We aim to bring you something new
with STRAFE.
\+ STRAFE tries new things with the roguelike FPS formula – We aim to
generate full levels that feel more natural to explore and avoid patterns of
rooms that lock you in, teleport in enemies and force you to kill them before
the doors unlock. We want STRAFE to feel like a seamless adventure from start
to finish.
\+ STRAFE is not a game that will run well on older computers or laptops –
STRAFE may look older but it’s a new game and features some cutting edge
tech. Please check the min spec!
STRAFE may look like a game you’ve played but we’ve worked hard to create a
unique and fresh take on first person shooters, we hope you enjoy it!
