Toxastra

Toxastra is a science-fiction top-down shooter-RPG in which you play as Dale Custer, chief of security aboard the colonization mining ship CFV Janus. After an explosion leaves you in a coma, you wake to find the ship overrun by mutants.

Customize your approach

Choose your character’s starting characteristics to suit your play style. Fight with firearms, hand-to-hand combat and DNA powers, and improve your physical, mental and other abilities to shape how you overcome obstacles aboard the ship.

Explore the CFV Janus

Explore the ship to find ammunition and other resources needed to survive. You can also discover access cards, vending machines and secret areas that make your journey easier.

The CFV Janus is designed to carry workers on a long trip to new planets while minimizing the company’s travel costs. Its facilities include a park, swimming pool and relaxation area, but the ship’s once-idyllic spaces are overtaken by blood, putrefaction and mold. Bright lights give way to flickering ones and dark corners; the sounds of shipboard life fall silent, leaving a deadly quiet.

Virtual Therapy

Virtual Therapy is a secondary roguelite mode set in rooms drawn from Dale’s memories and populated by creatures encountered during the story. It has five segments, each divided into nine rooms. The locations are pre-constructed, while the placement and number of enemies are random.

Rooms contain bonuses to help you progress. Every three rooms, you can spend REN to improve your characteristics and DNA abilities. Each victory unlocks a new character archetype with its own starting characteristics, weapons, boosts and DNA abilities.
