Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2

About This Game

“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!

Reviews

“Of The Pit 1 – The Pit is one of the more solid roguelike titles on Steam, especially in a relatively flooded market.”
8/10 – RPG Fan

“Of The Pit 1 – The Pit is very difficult and has that same feeling of ‘okay, just one more run’ that both Binding of Isaac or FTL: Faster Than Light have.”
7.5/10 – Destructoid
