Overview
Asterogue is a turn based coffeebreak roguelike set in the interior of an asteroid in space.
You discover a hollow asteroid filled with procedurally generated mines, facilities, alien creatures, and space-loot.
It's a fast, light, minimal, graphically rich roguelike that is easy to pick up and put down, with sci fi pixel aesthetics and juicy game-feel. Balance futuristic hand weapons, armour, chemicals, nanotech, medkits and food as you battle weird creatures from outer space.

Days later, wheeling through the outer limits of the spiral arm, you crash land upon an asteroid. Is this the one on the map? Is that an enterance you spy? Faced with sure death on the surface or the chilling unknown within, the choice is clear. You descend into the heart of the asteroid...
