Aug 8, 2024Space Prison combines a cool science-fiction premise with some innovative twists on combat and rogue-lite mechanics. I like that players have to worry about hunger and desperation more than they have to do about hit points. Using rats as companions early on feels a little weird but a mecha version can be created toward the game’s end, which is pretty awesome. Still, the experience can be frustrating. Encounters will become repetitive while battles don’t have a lot of depth. Space Prison is a very open video game that rewards careful preparation and extensive exploration, as long as gamers do not abandon it after the first few deaths.

Jul 18, 2024The multifaceted way combat works as a whole in the title is still impressive despite the aforementioned repetition, however, as is the overall gang hierarchy system concept. It's not perfect, but it has a good baseline of gameplay and has one of the most important qualities a roguelike can have, which is feeling a sense of learning something new each time around. For players looking for a new way to try out tactics in a rich sci-fi setting, Space Prison is certainly worth a look.
