About Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2
"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."
That was how it all started, but it's not where it ended. In a galaxy with one abandoned Suul'ka facility, might there not be another. Or many others?
After the success of our Indie, Roguelike hit Sword of the Stars: The Pit in 2012, it's time to celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2022! Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2 is an update of the fun, fast, and light-hearted turn-based original, taking the game from its 2D retro-roots and into a fully 3D game world.
While we begin by updating The Pit for the present, join us as we take The Pit series to a whole new world!

Set within the Sword of the Stars universe, it frames each run as a desperate descent into an ancient alien facility rumored to hold the cure for a devastating plague. From the start, the game makes it clear that survival is never guaranteed, and that careful planning, patience, and adaptability are far more valuable than raw aggression.

Players select from several distinct character classes, each defined by different strengths, weaknesses, and starting equipment.
