Our take on Space Recall
Rather than relying only on combat upgrades, the game puts resource planning at the center of its action roguelike structure: skills spend different energy types, and equipment can interact with skills to trigger combined effects.
What is Space Recall?
Space Recall is a side-scrolling action roguelike set on a space station overrun by malfunctioning robots.
Players control E-201, collect skills, and pair them with items to create combined effects in combat. Skills consume fuel, hydrogen, or electricity, so equipment choices and energy use shape which abilities can be used. Between levels, players choose rewards such as crystals, chips for upgrading active skills, or equipment that grants passive skills. The journey also includes traps that offer rewards for taking risks, varied robot enemies with different attack patterns, and bosses guarding stages. A Galaxy Race tournament offers another challenge, with further rewards for winning.
