Wrath and Retribution

Wrath and Retribution is a high-speed space combat roguelike about fighting back against the Remnants, who have seized the solar system’s transit network in a coordinated strike. You are Specter One, pilot of the prototype ship Retribution, equipped with the experimental Specter Drive. Its displacement dash lets you evade incoming fire and cut through enemy fleets.

Plan your route

Each hub is an active warzone with a mission map. Choose missions to engage hostile formations, visit shipyards to resupply, and ultimately liberate the transit node known as an Array. Every mission costs Array stability, so the route you take affects how prepared you are for the final showdown.

Missions send you against enemies ranging from light fighter squadrons to capital ships armed with turrets and escorts. You choose where to strike, then fight through the encounter and select a reward before plotting your next move. Higher-risk missions bring fiercer battles and better rewards, and each deployment brings escalating danger and opportunities to strengthen your ship.

Weapons and upgrades

You can choose from 20 upgradable weapons and combine them with a range of modules to shape your loadout. Improve your equipment after missions and invest in permanent ship upgrades that expand your options in future deployments. Across each run, new weapons and upgrades let you develop combat synergies and grow more effective.

Merlin and combat

Merlin, your advanced AI companion, independently uses abilities during combat, including shields, hacks and reactor overloads. You can upgrade Merlin and adapt his capabilities to your arsenal to find new combat synergies. Together with your weapons and the Specter Drive’s dash, his abilities help you break enemy formations and take control of engagements.

The warzones

You fight across six distinct warzones, each with its own battlefields, enemies and equipment. Your campaign takes you toward occupied Quantum Arrays, where Remnant capital ships stand between you and liberation.
