Join Us On Discord About the Game A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka. If 'The Pit' really exists, there might be something left. Something that will give your doctors a fighting chance at the cure. All you know for sure is that every expedition into those mountains has failed to return... And Nothing Sows Death Like the Suul'ka. Quamdiu Poteris Superesse? Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a fun, fast, light-hearted turn-based RPG, where the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games meets the sci-fi Sword of the Stars universe, where the question to ask isn't 'Did you make it to the end?' so much as 'How far did you make it into The Pit before the monsters got you?' Be brave, press on for the sake of your planet, and when all else fails, go out in a blaze of glory! Key Features 3 Characters to choose from... Marine, Pilot and Engineer! 5 Bonus characters from the MindGames expansion, now included in the base game. A secret hidden character! Google it! 30 Levels of ancient evil science between you and the cure! Improve your character and increase your skills as you try and find a way to survive the depths. Dozens and dozens of enemies drawn from the Sword of the Stars universe! Over 50 weapons and armors with a variety of special effects including flamethrowers, rocket launchers, plasma cannons and powered Brawler armor! Randomized augmentation effects (for your equipment... and for you!) make each game unique. Crafting lets you make special items from bits and pieces of your enemies. Over 100 items to discover, ranging from the familiar to ancient exotic tech. Dozens of room types containing a host of exotic devices to help - or maybe hinder - your progress. Discover and decipher hidden messages, crafting recipes, and pieces of Sword of the Stars lore! Many fiendish ways to die including poisoning, disease, traps, radiation, starvation and of course... MONSTERS. 

Press reviews: ' The Pit is very difficult and has that same feeling of 'okay, just one more run' that both Binding of Isaac or FTL: Faster Than Light have.' 7.5/10 - Destructoid ' The Pit is one of the more solid roguelike titles on Steam, especially in a relatively flooded market.' 81/100 - RPGFan 'There is such a wealth to do and upgrade that it never feels like you’re saying the same game twice.' 8/10 - Game Podunk ' The Pit delivers a solid experience and should be a must buy for fans of the genre. And remember, in space, no one can hear you scream as you die for the forty-second time.' Twonk Hammer 'The tired old roguelike mechanic of running away gets more tense when you can’t see if the monster is still chasing you, and if it’s gaining on you!' Dragon Chasers
