What is Enter the Chronosphere?

This single-player, top-down sci-fi roguelike follows a starship crew fighting giant spheres that consume reality. Each run takes you toward a procedurally generated sphere’s center, planning attacks between turns, shooting, dodging projectiles, and using gadgets. The spheres contain biomes from consumed worlds, while missions unlock characters and abilities.
