Space Robinson is anticipated to open up its beta period at the end of August. The action-packed space quest is described as extremely difficult, but highly addictive too. Publisher Alawar Premium said that more details of the beta period are to be revealed soon.
You can view the official trailer below:
In Space Robinson, players take on the role of the titular savvy space engineer who is summoned by an intergalactic corporation named VAST to perform maintenance work (repair the drilling rigs) in Colony 21 located on a distant planet.
However, something goes wrong and players now have to explore the procedurally generated locations of the distant planet filled with secret caches and valuable resources. In addition to fighting off dangerous enemies that lie in wait for you day and night, players must also survive numerous challenges in the wilderness by collecting ample resources, building protective turrets, and crafting more than enough ammunition. Players are also able to unlock a dog, which helps them fight monsters.
Key features of Space Robinson include:
- HARDCORE
- It’s a proper hardcore RPG-action where players die a million times across a myriad of procedurally-generated levels. You can always choose a way to die, be it enemies, traps, or the night! Fight, level up, and unlock new guns because victory is just around the corner!
- CRAFT
- Need a gun that shoots lightning? Or need a first aid kit? It’s up to you to decide what to use in battle. Collect resources and craft your dream loot!
- BUILDING
- Do you like to meet the sunrise, wrapped up in a blanket by the fire? Forget it! Build protective turrets to survive the harsh alien nights!
- BOTS
- Someone has set up serious fortifications, but this isn’t an obstacle for your bots! Collect bot-assistants and destroy caches!
- GENERATION
- Start over and over again to find a way out! Explore all the locations to escape from this damned planet!
- NIGHT AND DAY SEQUENCE
- There are special night monsters; your vision changes (in the night you can see the surroundings in a narrow circle).
- RANDOM LEVELS
- Random loot, random levels — it’s a rogue-lite, so after your death, you are going to be spawned on a special cloning base where you start your adventure again.
