Relic Space

Relic Space is a turn-based roguelike RPG with 4X strategy elements, set in a galaxy devastated by a catastrophe. In the year 2612, you play as a legendary Omega pilot, helping the Order recover lost knowledge and rebuild civilisation while facing a new threat to its existence.

The Order and the Fall

The Order is a community of genetically engineered supersoldiers with a strong sense of tradition. It began as an elite military organisation tasked with protecting posthumanity from high-impact, low-probability threats. After failing to prevent the devastation known as the Fall, the Order made rebuilding civilisation its central goal.

Explore and complete missions

You explore a procedurally generated solar system with handcrafted elements, travelling through more than 40 distinct sectors and completing missions. Four main factions and seven minor factions pursue their own research, trade, construction projects and other goals regardless of your actions, though your actions can affect whether they succeed or fail. A narrative campaign is interwoven with procedurally generated stories in a setting inspired by hard science fiction.

Fight in space

Combat takes place on a hex grid, using one-tile-per-turn movement inspired by traditional roguelikes. Movement follows space-physics rules: travelling in a straight line is free, while turning, starting or stopping costs energy.

Ship systems are simulated in detail. Damage can affect individual components, and weapons, engines and utility items can catch fire, leak power or suffer other status effects. You also manage heat, energy and fuel through your movement and equipment choices.

Develop your pilot and ships

You acquire new ships and improve them with hundreds of equipment options, combining weapons and utility items to suit your approach. Reputation and influence help you obtain more powerful ships, while a flexible skill tree lets you gain piloting abilities. Researching relics unlocks additional powers and equipment.
