Sword of the Stars The Pit

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a fun, fast, light-hearted turn-based RPG where the tradition of Rogue and other old-school dungeon-diving games meets the sci-fi Sword of the Stars universe. A deadly plague ravages your world, and your last hope is a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains, a massive Pit built by the ancient Suul'ka. If something useful is left down there, it might give your doctors a chance at a cure, but every expedition into those mountains has failed to return.

The real question is not whether you reach the end, but how far you make it into the Pit before the monsters get you. You choose from 3 base characters, the Marine, Pilot and Engineer, plus 5 bonus characters from the MindGames expansion now included, and improve your skills as you try to survive 30 levels of ancient evil science.

The game features dozens of enemies drawn from the Sword of the Stars universe, over 50 weapons and armors with special effects from flamethrowers to powered Brawler armor, randomized augmentations that make each game unique, crafting that turns enemy parts into special items, over 100 items to discover, and hidden messages and lore to decipher. Death can come from poisoning, disease, traps, radiation, starvation and, of course, monsters.
