Rustcrave is a dark, steampunk side-scrolling rougelite with RTS elements that brutally flips the classic perspective. Here, you are not the savior, but the invader. As the Empty Conductor, you command a swarm of mechanized insects in a desperate invasion of the interior of the dying planet Aion. Your goal is to rip out its Power Core.

The gameplay is defined by relentless time pressure. The unforgiving autoscroll acts as a physical barrier of annihilation that devours everything in its path. Success in this mission requires quick optimization of your small swarm and flawless management of unit specializations and resources. 

Feel the adrenaline rush of constant danger in a fascinating, merciless world of rusting machinery!

The Team: Trispect Interactive 

A newly forged game development team brought together by the Cyberiada program, known there as 3Pieczarki's Team. While Rustcrave is our very first collaborative project as a crew, we hit the ground running with a unified vision. We are bound by a shared passion for unforgiving, atmospheric indie games that don't hold the player's hand. Pooling our individual strengths into this first joint venture, we poured our love for grimy steampunk aesthetics and deep tactical gameplay into creating a fresh, intense crisis-management experience.
