Robothorium

turn-based sci-fi dungeon crawlers are pretty rare but this isn't worth bothering with. making it a roguelike didn't help, endless repetition and tedium in largely the same dungeons, dull as ♥♥♥♥. level-scaling is another issue, even if it's only partial (initially it was full-on but got changed after some backlash). main missions have a fixed level, side quests match yours, and if you reach max level, everything scales to that. no manual saving but quitting mid-mission saves progress, so there's that.

Some favor diplomacy, others advocate for outright destruction, and many fall somewhere in between. The player’s choices influence these relationships, shaping both the direction of the rebellion and the outcome of the campaign. This branching approach adds weight to decisions and encourages replayability, as different paths reveal alternate perspectives and consequen…

Level cap is 20. Pinatobots are way too common.

👍 cool stuff

Unfortunately, the game feels very bland, throws a ton of non-interesting mechanics at you from the very beginning, and features extremely boring combat.
