Red Sector

Red Sector combines randomized roguelike runs, permanent death and shoot-'em-up combat. You pilot a ship through sectors toward the RED Sector, scavenging for items and fighting alien machines and pilots. Each flight is different, with randomized maps, items, enemies and other gameplay elements.

Ships and loadouts

You choose from three starting ships, each with different starting items. As you scavenge through each sector, you can use what you find—or go without it—to build your loadout. Hull and weapon stats give you options for tailoring your ship to your playstyle, depending on your finds. The game also includes mild class building and item modification.

Combat and survival

Combat is fast-paced, and bosses—and later, mini-bosses—test your skill and your ability to build a loadout. Shield Energy drops help keep you alive, but you can heal HP only a limited number of times per sector. The game combines challenging runs with permanent death and unforgiving boss fights.

The Kuora and the mission

Countless alien machines and pilots stand between you and the RED Sector. You are on a mission whose reasons you must discover, and there is more to the aliens than meets the eye. The game presents its lore in different ways and has a hand-made soundtrack, with a stylized digital aesthetic.
