Our take on This Means Warp
Runs use randomized maps and encounters rather than a fixed campaign path, with players choosing their route through the galaxy. Ship management is tied to real-time combat, where crew members fight enemies while keeping the vessel intact.
What is This Means Warp?
This spaceship-management roguelite sends solo players or crews of up to 4 through a procedurally generated galaxy.
Players choose a route, collect and upgrade ship weapons and systems, and face enemies in real-time battles while keeping the ship intact. Maps, items, enemies, and encounters vary between runs, calling for changes in strategy and use of available resources. Play alone, join local or online co-op, or recruit AI crewmates. A run can end after one wrong move, giving each journey high stakes. The game combines ship management and combat with randomized encounters and player-chosen routes.
