RymdResa is the most tranquil roguelike you’ll ever play

RymdResa is perhaps the most realistic space game ever made. All you ever do is float endlessly through serene and vast galaxies looking for supplies and new planets, all without engaging in combat.

Available for PC and Mac on August 20, RymdResa is from Swedish indie studio Morgondag consisting of only two individuals. It’s a top-down, 2D roguelike that’s set in a procedurally generated world in which you assume the role of a lone, nameless astronaut. He’s searching for new life and habitable planets after Earth gets destroyed by an asteroid. It’s poetic, bleak, beautiful, and a bit too humdrum. Outer space in RymdResa is devoid of any interesting and dangerous enemies to combat. Instead, you have to constantly worry about natural dangers and obstacles like incoming asteroids, the lack of resources and fuel, and prodigious suns that can fry your ship in an instant.
