This is an alpha release of Allure of the Stars, a near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical squad game. The game is barely fun at this stage and not yet really Sci-Fi. See the wiki for design notes and contribute.
New since 0.4.8 are screensaver game modes (AI vs AI), improved AI (can now climbs stairs, etc.), multiple, multi-floor staircases, multiple savefiles, configurable framerate and combat animations and more. Long term goals are high replayability and auto-balancing through procedural content generation and persistent content modification based on player behaviour.
The game is written using the LambdaHack Haskell roguelike game engine.
Allure of the Stars can be compiled using the cabal tool from the Allure package available at its Hackage page.
