Allure of the Stars

Allure of the Stars is a near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical squad game. Newest binaries are available at the homepage and, for OSX, on Homebrew. You can also try the game out in the browser at http://allureofthestars.com/play.

Not a single picture in this game. You have to imagine everything yourself, like with a book (a grown-up book, without pictures).
