Strafe

STRAFE is a single-player roguelike first-person shooter set in unknown deep space. As a Scrapper on a dangerous mission at the edge of the galaxy, you have one life to make your way through four zones, each with three levels. If you die, you start again from the beginning, and the rooms, enemies, power-ups and secrets are rearranged.

Explore and fight

Each run links hand-crafted rooms in a new order and fills them with enemies and discoveries. You can explore secrets and experiment with the game’s mechanics as you travel through varied terrain. The game features over 30 weapons, gun upgrades and over 20 enemy types. Its permanent damage system leaves blood and gore in the environment, marking areas you have explored.

Game modes

• Campaign: Play the single-player roguelike adventure, with secrets throughout.
• Strafe Zone: Compete for a leaderboard score in a daily challenge, with one attempt each day.
• Speed Zone: Race through a locked level seed in a weekly challenge. You can replay it throughout the week to improve your time, but must kill 90% of the enemies before reaching the finish line.
• Murder Zone: Try to survive 10 rooms of slaughter and unlock new tools between attempts.

More to discover

The game also includes NG+ and looping, along with secrets scattered through its levels. Its soundtrack is described as the sickest of 1996 and at least the next 25 years.
