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 enjoy difficult runs with progress that carries over
+you like gathering materials and experimenting with crafted gear
+you want to explore hostile planets with friends

Not for you if...

−you dislike losing carried equipment when a character dies
−you prefer fixed levels over procedurally generated worlds
