Link

Link is a strategy game with roguelike elements set on a hostile arctic planet. You command a small band of soldiers trying to survive until rescue can reach you, while the world closes in with cold and danger.

Plot: After a fleet-wide breakdown, sabotage is suspected. Only a handful of crew remain, trapped in a shelter as freezing winds howl and alien life swarms circle closer. The mission is clear but brutal: outlast the threats, hold the shelter, and hope for rescue before the cold claims you.

Gameplay emphasizes careful resource and risk management: balance heat and power, ration morale, and schedule rest to prevent fatigue. The arctic storm cycles and supply shortages force you to plan ahead, while the alien menace rewards patient scouting and decisive leadership.

Every run blends planning and improvisation. Weather events can damage rooms or steal heat, power reserves dip under pressure, and morale suffers when companions fall. Because of roguelike perma-death, each attempt begins anew with fresh survivors and new threat patterns, making each playthrough distinct. Survivors have personal backstories and traits that influence interactions, decisions, and even combat performance. The base is not just a fortress; it’s a living system you must manage, balance between comfort and urgency, and expand through unlocked technologies and upgrades.

  • Lead survivors with unique bonuses: Each member brings a special skill or bonus that shapes your strategy. Choosing who to bring and when to deploy them creates different playthroughs.
  • Turn the wreck into a base: Upgrade a drifting ship into a functional outpost. Build bedrooms for rest, workshops to craft, and grow plants to sustain the crew. Keep every room heated and life-supported as the temperature drops.
  • Crafting and technology: Gather resources, craft essential items, and research technologies. Your inventions expand your capabilities and create new paths to survival.
  • Scavenge and fight: Explore wreckage and frozen ruins to scavenge for supplies. When danger appears, engage in deep, turn-based combat against swarms of extraterrestrial life forms. Positioning and timing matter as you grind through each encounter.
  • Roguelike progression: Each run reshuffles threats and survivors, delivering fresh challenges. Defeat is harsh, but victory unlocks new characters for future playthroughs, expanding your roster and options for the next attempt.

Can you transform the wreck into a thriving base, endure the alien onslaught, and survive until help finally arrives? The frost bites, the threats loom, and the only certainty is that you must endure. See you in frozen hell.
