Independent game studio Juggernaut Games has announced their first title this morning, StarCrawlers, a sci-fi dungeon-crawling RPG for PC, Mac and Linux.
In the game you’ll be tasked with running a crew of fixers taking shady jobs on the fringes of space where your choices change the way you explore the environment, fight your foes, resolve encounters, and how your story unfolds.
Here’s a full description from Juggernaut Games:
Whatever their particular skillset - be it hacking, smuggling or advanced ass-kicking - StarCrawlers are individuals who specialize in taking jobs others won’t. Your team will venture into procedurally-generated environments full of lethal enemies, unexpected events, and deadly traps. Conspiracy is afoot, and you may stumble upon valuable information - how you choose to use it is up to you.
As you progress through the dungeon, you’ll face tougher and tougher enemies and be tested against elite bosses, requiring you to make strategic decisions about your team build, their combat specialization and their gear. Team build will also have an impact on what you can do while exploring, with each character class bringing their own specialized skills to bear to help you avoid obstacles, deal with NPCs, and navigate hazards more effectively.
The team are planning to fund this through Kickstarter, although we aren’t sure when the campaign will be launching, but we’re told it should be soon.
StarCrawlers is in development for the PC, Mac and Linux.
