Mirastell

Mirastell is a 2D action RPG with turn-based combat, set aboard an abandoned space cruiser. You wake with no memories, equipment or allies, and explore the ship to learn its history, discover what happened to its crew and find a way to escape. The ship is also home to The Arcadia, a hostile AI that watches you and tries to stop you.

Story and exploration

The story unfolds through the ship and its mechanics, including death. You uncover it gradually, with secrets and puzzles offering rare loot and narrative developments. Your decisions affect which of the game’s multiple endings you reach. The Arcadia taunts and impedes you throughout, and its relationship with you develops over the course of the story.

Combat and progression

Combat is turn-based, with its challenge adjustable to your preference. You can use stealth to prepare for fights, and face varied enemies, distinctive bosses that demand different approaches, and levels with varied mechanics. Light puzzle-solving is also part of the game.

You unlock weapons by crafting, completing quests or finding them in the world. Some weapons can be upgraded with additional perks, letting you invest in your preferred equipment and refine your loadout. Armor provides perks or stat boosts to help in combat.

Combat mods are craftable and come in four tiers, with one mod of each tier equippable at a time. Defeating an enemy grants one point of energy, activating tier 1 mods; defeating more enemies activates further mods. Mods are designed to work with particular weapons, armor and other mods, so combining them can strengthen your combat setup.

Dungeons and co-op

Replayable dungeons let you test your combat skills and earn valuable rewards. The game also includes multiplayer co-op.
