Fourfold Games’ Relic Space is a turn-based, roguelike RPG with 4X strategy elements. While players rebuild civilization following a galactic disaster. Doing so by finishing a wide range of missions for your faction. While taking on deeply simulated, hex-based combat as an elite starship pilot. Add in realistic movement rules (based on actual space physics) and hundreds of game changing ship upgrades. Then you have a recipe for endless hours of turn-based fun.
Taking place in the year 2612, Relic Space features more than 40 distinct regions. Which players can explore while customizing and upgrading their very own ships. Beyond grid-based, tactical turn-based combat familiar to fans of typical roguelikes. Relic Space also features realistic damage (think BattleTech) with status effects for each of the items. Each weapon, engine, or utility item can catch fire, leak power, and generally be buffed and debuffed. Equipment items also affect the ship in unique ways. This includes manual changes for heat and energy levels.
