How it feels

A tense, punishing tactical turn-based game where careful positioning and resource management are critical to surviving the unforgiving steampunk halls of a besieged spaceship.

What players say

Players describe Steam Marines as an ambitious but unfinished roguelike. The brutal difficulty and procedural levels can spawn you in dead-end rooms. Bugs, a clunky interface, and limited skill trees hold it back, with many saying the developer abandoned it after launch.
