Trigon: Space Story

Take control of your very own spaceship and embark on an epic space adventure that will have you fighting in complex tactical battles all over the universe in Trigon: Space Story. A roguelike game of epic proportions, this title will put your fast-thinking skills to the ultimate test.

The impressive arsenal at your disposal, coupled with the sheer amount of customization potential, makes Trigon: Space Story a serious contender for the title of best spaceship-based roguelike released in recent years. If you’re looking for a game with nearly endless replayability and an immensely satisfying gameplay loop, then Trigon: Space Story might be the one you’re looking for.

Grand Space Battles

At first glance, Trigon: Space Journey looks like an evolution of the classic FTL: Faster Than Light formula — that is, controlling a massive starship through epic space battles. In these confrontations, your crew will be as important as your arsenal.

Choice is an integral part of the gameplay progression in Trigon: Space Story. As you progress through the narrative, you’ll be given the choice to pick dialogue options and take certain sides that will affect how the rest of the galaxy perceives your crew. You can either be a militaristic force to be reckoned with, or a ruthless barbarian that takes no prisoners.

While gameplay progression and spaceship building might sound like some engaging parts of the gameplay loop, keep in mind that death is permanent in Trigon: Space Story. This forces the player to experiment with different builds and crew configurations to achieve victory.

Speaking of builds, the game features an impressive array of armaments and customization options for your ships. Along with weapons, players will also have to keep in mind that different ships offer distinct advantages in the heat of battle. Bigger spaceships might be able to include more weapons in their arsenal, but they’re also tougher to navigate and an overall bigger target, so choose wisely.

Out-of-this-world Visuals

Though the game uses a similar gameplay structure to that of FTL: Faster Than Light, the overall presentation is vastly different. The basic battle structure feels like they are the same game, but Trigon: Space Story features some frankly impressive visuals that make it quite the looker.

Navigating the sea of menus that control every little detail about your crew and spaceship might be somewhat daunting to new players, but genre veterans might actually appreciate the amount of detail put into the game’s many customization options.

Every different ship looks amazing in this game. The fact that you can customize most of their looks and crew configurations also adds to the nearly-endless gameplay loop and replayability that you might expect from a roguelike game such as this.

All in all, Trigon: Space Story is more than the sum of its parts, just like the ships you control in the game; an immensely satisfying and challenging experience that players can replay over and over again and never get tired of.
