Steam Marines is a tactical, squad-based Roguelike set on a steampunk spaceship. The game challenges players to progress through the various decks of the besieged spaceship, while clearing enemies and trying to reach each level’s elevator. With an emphasis on positioning, careful use of resources, and tactical play, Steam Marines is designed to keep players on their toes. The game allows players to command up to four marines, each with their own unique gear, talents, and action points. Players must use their marines’ abilities to survive, as even a lone enemy can be lethal. Steam Marines features five marine classes, including long-range death, shotgun knockback, grenade launchers, and exoskeleton suits stripped from the hulks of dead enemies. The game also offers procedural generation, with different environments and creatures across multiple decks to keep the game fresh and unpredictable. Steam Marines features four levels of difficulty and a New Game Plus mode for added replay value. However, players should be warned of the game’s permadeath feature, where fallen marines are gone forever. Overall, Steam Marines offers a challenging, tactical playing experience that rewards strategic planning and execution.
