Overview
Convicted Galaxy plunges players into a high-octane spaceship combat experience, blending the addictive loop of roguelites with the frantic action of shoot 'em ups. Set in a unique 2.5D universe, this single-player title casts you as an escapee from an Interstellar Correctional Fleet prison ship. Stranded in an uncharted galaxy teeming with increasingly dangerous escaped prisoners, your mission is survival and dominance.
The core gameplay revolves around intense third-person spaceship battles. You'll need to strategically build up your presence by constructing space stations and support structures around planets.
Upgrading your own vessel is crucial, as is launching sieges against enemy strongholds to bolster your strength while simultaneously weakening the opposition. The stakes are high; the game emphasizes taking calculated risks, as failure means starting anew, a hallmark of the roguelite genre.
