Clone. Escape. Repeat.
A retro-inspired top-down shooter set aboard a series of procedurally-generated space stations full of danger and secrets.
About the Game#
Clone Station is a sci-fi action game where you fight to survive and escape procedurally-generated stations overrun by failed experiments, rogue clones, and collapsing infrastructure.
Runs are built around fast movement, room-to-room combat, and adapting your loadout as the dungeon changes.
Core Loop#
- Enter a run and clear combat encounters room by room.
- Manage pressure from varied enemy types and room hazards.
- Collect upgrades and improve your build as difficulty ramps.
- Complete level objectives and chase better ratings.
