About

Allure of the Stars is a near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical squad game. Not a single picture in this game. You have to imagine everything yourself, like with a book (a grown-up book, without pictures). Once you learn to imagine things, though, you can keep exploring and mastering the world and making up stories for a long time. The game is written in Haskell using the free software LambdaHack engine. Please see the changelog file for recent improvements and the issue tracker for short-term plans. Long term goals are high replayability and auto-balancing through procedural content generation and persistent content modification based on player behaviour. Contributions are welcome.

Things this page is missing or isn't precise about. Know the answer? A fix takes one click and a sentence, and the community picks it up from there.

  • License isn't a precise SPDX identifier — "AGPL" doesn't say whether it's "only" this version or "or later" (GPL-3.0-only vs GPL-3.0-or-later). The exact SPDX id tells you precisely what you may do.
    Help fix
  • Sources disagree on the license — Two sources report licenses of different families: one of them is likely wrong.
    Help fix
  • Sources disagree on the name — Which name does the project itself use?
    Help fix
  • No icon — A link to the project's official icon would do.
    Help fix
  • No screenshots — Links to official screenshots help people see what they'd install.
    Help fix
  • No project homepage — Where does the project live? Its website or repository.
