Our take on Spelp
Team assembly is part of Spelp's arena-survival structure: prisoners can be rescued on Stardust and selected for their distinct traits. This shifts some build decisions from choosing weapons and passive abilities alone to deciding which characters will make up the team.
What is Spelp?
Spelp is an arena-survival shooter with roguelite elements and twin-stick controls.
Players eliminate aliens, grow stronger, and combine upgradable weapons with passive abilities to create different builds. The game includes two maps and modes: Stardust, where rescued prisoners can join the team, and The Lab, a confined area with monster waves and no assistance from the SPELP program. Recruitable characters have distinct traits, weapons, and gameplay roles. Runs last 20 minutes, with five difficulty levels and boss encounters. Keyboard, mouse, and controllers are mostly supported.
