One of 2024's most promising games looks like a terrific blend of Faster Than Light and Slay the Sp💧ire.
Those two games are undoubtedly some of the best experiences the entire roguelike genre has to offer. FTL and Slay the Spire are both absorbing and thrilling in their own right,ꦏ even if both put markedly different spins on the genre. Now, it sounds like they might be joining forces (thematically, if not literally) for upcoming PC game Earthless.
Forced into a spaceship with your crew as the Earth expires in a solar expansion no-one saw coming, you 🤪have to navigate your ship through the stars to reach a safe haven. While jumping between systems, you have ඣto battle your way through hostile forces and ships, which plays out via turn-based tactical cards. There's even what looks like an imposing boss fight near the conclusion of the enthralling trailer below.

Honestly, the entire thing looks sublime, a fascinating blend of strategy and painstaking decisions. It looks like there'l𒀰l be lots of interactions with your crewmembers in the star ship as you flee Earth - we'll be assigning the💞m to roles, much like in FTL.
Right now, Earthless is slated to enter early access on PC via Steam at some point later next year in 2024. Even more exciting, it's coming from some space-gaming royalty in the form of Blackbird Interactive, the team behind the excellent Hardspace: Shipbreaker and the much anticipated Homeworld 3. As Blackbird noted to one cheeky user, however, Earthless most definitely is not the reason Homeworld 3 was recently delayed - there's a much smal🎶ler team beavering away on the roguelike compared to the huge spacefaring strategy game.
If you want to keep an eye on✱ Earthless (as we definitely will af🐠ter that stellar trailer), you can wishlist the roguelike over on .
