Our take on Project Malice
Rather than centering only on repeated combat runs, the game combines roguelike shooting with dialogue, companions, secrets, extensive lore, and travel through spacetime. Its references to other games also make the setting part of a broader shared universe.
What is Project Malice?
Project Malice is an isometric third-person shooter with roguelike structure, set on a ruined Earth in the year 213X.
Players fight infected enemies, face bosses, collect random loot, make allies, and travel through spacetime. The game includes character dialogue, secrets, optional challenges, cameos from other games, and extensive lore. Its story follows an outbreak that grew into a larger catastrophe, with humanity's future placed in the player's hands. The setting connects to the creator's other games, which may provide additional context for its characters, story, and shared universe. Hunger and thirst also emerge as part of the post-collapse setting.
