About Sisyphus Paradox
Sisyphus Paradox is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up with roguelike mechanics. An ordinary person is flung across the galaxy, far from home, with only a voice in their head to guide and accompany them as strange alien creatures pursue them. You fight your way back to Earth across hand-drawn battlefields, and begin another journey after each defeat, with persistent bonuses to help you progress.
Ships and builds
You can play as one of three ships, each with distinctive mechanics that go beyond different stats. Each ship has slots for two weapons, two passive items and two active-use specials. The game has 56 unique weapons, passives and specials; items can be upgraded, and some change significantly as they level.
Runs across the stars
Each run generates a new star map, offering paths to choose from, random encounters and enemies. The game includes 10 Timestreams, each more challenging than the last; as you improve, more options are revealed. Persistent bonuses carry between runs.
Factions and enemies
You face three factions, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, bosses and minibosses.
