Space Robinson Gameplay
It is a dynamic roguelike shooter with elements of RPG progress. You crash on an abandoned Colony Base. Further, you try to investigate what may have happened here. Besides that, you will try to reconstruct it. The planet is teeming with aggressive monsters, which will kill you all the time. While you will try to collect the necessary amount of the crystals to fix your Base.
Levels generate randomly. Every three levels biome changes. In addition to the environment, monsters change also. On each level, you will be guaranteed to get one new weapon. Needless to say that Space Robinson has a lot of weapons! And also you’ll get the ability to choose one out of three perks that will help you during the fight.
