The first content update for WarpVector will introduce a slew of new items!
One of the key features of roguelikes is resource management. In this tradition, WarpVector captains will be able to find useful consumable capsules on alien planets, in the cargo holds of defeated enemies, and even available for purchase from merchants. These capsules have no mass, and provide a valuable boost to ship systems when used. You can activate capsules to instantly overcharge your shields, deploy a swarm of hull-regenerating nanobots, or even trigger truly anomalous effects!

WarpVector is an immersive sci-fi roguelike built around exploration, tactics, and storytelling. It features a physics-based space combat and navigation system, retro ASCII graphics, and an original soundtrack.

Synopsis

Stellarographers predict that in 1000 days a supernova will destroy your home planet, Altaris IV. It is believed, however, that there is an ancient artifact, the Orbitron Device, that can prevent a supernova. You have set out into a galaxy teeming with maruading space pirates, enterprising adventurers, and spatiotemporal anomalies on a mission to find it. Xenopaleontologists have speculated that remnants of the Precursor civilization may provide clues as to the location of this apocryphal artifact.


Can you locate the Orbitron Device before it is too late for Altaris? Or before it falls into the wrong hands?
