What is Run Build Pew!?

You pilot a ship through randomized encounters in a single-player, top-down space roguelite shooter, with bounty hunters pursuing you. During runs lasting around 20–30 minutes, you choose battles, destroy outposts and enemy fleets, and maneuver while drones gather scrap. An onboard factory turns that scrap into random parts you select and attach to your ship.

For you if...

+you enjoy experimenting with builds and self-imposed challenges

Not for you if...

−you prefer fixed loadouts over adapting to random parts
