Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space is a hybrid roguelike game of space exploration, adventure and starship combat set within an unusual region of the galaxy known as the Purple Void. Each time Weird Worlds is played, a new and different instant space opera is generated (nebulae, black holes, stars, planets, lifeforms, races, artifacts, items, starships, events, quests...), but unlike other games of the roguelike kind that go on for dozens of hours, it plays to its conclusion in less than thirty minutes. Features also include a fully animated star map, a unique turn-based movement system, real-time starship battles (naval/Wrath of Khan style), spaced-out music and sound, mod friendliness and access to all ships in the game via a robust battle simulator.
This game is pretty much a great way to spend a half hour here or an hour there.
The long and the short of it- your a space captain on a 10 - 30 year mission to seek out new life, explore new worlds, and boldly go where no man has gone before. And, at least at first, likely die a lot along the way.
Of course, there's some depth to the game, some cool random events, fights to be had, and black holes to surpise you. And this is all in like the first day I've had it! More then worth it so far!
