Basingstoke

Basingstoke is a roguelike that combines stealth and arcade action. You explore the smouldering ruins of Basingstoke, England, where reanimated undead and ferocious alien monsters roam. Staying hidden, distracting enemies and ambushing them are often safer than fighting, and if those tactics fail, you can run; one bite is enough to get you ripped apart.

Scavenge and craft

You loot and craft more than a hundred usable items. Distract monsters with leftover food, such as a sausage roll, or poison a kebab to use as bait. You can sneak up and knock enemies out with a cricket bat, slice them with a chainsaw, tranquilize them with a dart from a homemade blowpipe or set them alight with a DIY flamethrower.

Explore Basingstoke

The town combines hand-crafted and procedurally generated features, with places to explore above and below ground. You can rob a parking ticket machine, vandalize a keep-left sign, shop at the OMNImart24/7 or hide in a wheelie bin.

Unlockable characters

You unlock characters as you progress, each with specialist equipment, unique crafting recipes and hats. The Tourist carries a selfie stick and an OmniBank GoldCard, while the Thief uses a Locksmith gadget to crack security panels and break safes.

Collectibles

The game includes Basingstoke-themed commemorative coins in 1p, 2p, 10p, 20p, 50p and pound denominations, along with achievements, trading cards, profile backgrounds and emoticons.
