What is STRAFE: Gold Edition?

This single-player roguelike first-person shooter casts you as a Scrapper on a mission at the edge of the galaxy. You fight through four deep-space zones, collect weapons and upgrades, and search for secrets as rooms, enemies, and power-ups change between one-life runs.

+you enjoy replaying randomized levels and hunting secrets
+you want a difficult shooter built around short runs

Not for you if...
