About CRYPTARK

✦ AI summary

Infiltrate procedurally generated alien starships, neutralize their defenses and core systems, then escape with your profits in this high-stakes roguelike shooter. Customize your loadout from over 70 weapons and gear types to tackle increasingly dangerous targets, but lose your investment if you fail to complete the mission.

Cryptark is a 2D roguelike shooter that challenges players with boarding and neutralizing procedurally generated alien starships to earn income for their Privateering enterprise. Purchase improved equipment and weapons to tackle more dangerous targets, but be cautious as failure will result in a loss of investment and profit. The decaying alien arks will defend themselves from intruders with a wide arsenal of cyborg monstrosities, robotics, and security systems, all obstacles that must be surpassed to achieve victory, the destruction of the ship’s central System Core.


  • Complex, procedurally generated alien space-hulks to board and defeat.
  • Challenging, re-playable campaign that tests your strategy and tactics.
  • Over 70 weapons and items, including frag-cannons, tractor-beams, flamethrowers and nukes.
  • High-score leader boards to rank your skills.
  • Fully lip-synced voice acting brings your fellow shipmates to life.
  • Blood-pumping soundtrack perfect for intense firefights.

There should be more games like this. The combination of resource management, active objective prioritization, and hectic combat made this game a blast.

Annoying to play, really just a test of your willingness to endure unfun game design. I thought I was doing something wrong for a while but this game is just every annoying modern roguelite lazy idea put together. Limited time to beat every mission but you can't be thoughtful or strategic because there are locked doors and systems protecting other systems all over so you traverse most of the ship anyway. So you fight most enemies because they chase you and with doors you have to wait and fight anyway. Plus challenges that are extremely counter intuitive like beat a mission without destroying the repair module! Good the map is gigantic and there are two cores! By the time you destroy one and look at the map it's already 2% repaired in less than a second! Enjoy this impossible challenge! From the enemy design, to the level design, and map design everything just pissed me off. Super fast enemies that ram you that you have to kill, enemies that teleport you, enemies with reflecting shields. Oh and hit boxes for each that are about 4 pixels total even though they have massive bodies and tentacles. Pair that with guns that run out of ammo all the time with the default amount bein…

Worth it's price, if u have problem with beating campaign there is easy mode, It's helpful for achievements. While story is short, there are lots of guns as fun factor, even thoguh you won't see all if you aren't one going for collecting tech data to get them.
