Our take on Radio Silent
The store copy gives equal weight to combat and story, but the described systems center on repeated runs, random enemies, upgrades, bosses, and audio recordings. The narrative is delivered through collectible logs rather than a detailed exploration structure.
What is Radio Silent?
Radio Silent is a top-down survival roguelike in which a marine fights aliens while moving with WASD and aiming with the mouse.
Enemies appear randomly during each run, and their health and damage increase with the player's level. Defeated aliens drop Experience Crystals for gaining levels, while ability crates provide powers that last only for the current run. Completing objectives and destroying crates earns Credits for permanent upgrades at the Upgrade Station. The game begins with the Assault class, and defeating bosses unlocks additional classes. Bosses also drop Audio Logs, which can be played at the Audio Log Station in the Main Hub. These recordings reveal the history of a ship that went radio silent after entering a wormhole.
