What is Roguelands?
Roguelands is a 2D action roguelike about a Galactic Cadet gathering resources on procedurally generated planets before a creature destroys them. You fight monsters, send droids to collect materials, and craft gear, alone or in co-op. Death costs a character their carried items, but supplies stored on the ship and ship upgrades remain for future characters.

- +you like gathering materials and experimenting with crafted gear
