Sci-fi Roguelike Cryptark Coming to PS4 Next Year

Jesse McGibney's Avatar Posted by on Oct 07, 2015 // Designer, Alien Trap Games

Hey everyone, we’d like to introduce the upcoming sci-fi roguelike Cryptark on PS4, the new game from the team at AlienTrap Games. Previously, we brought you the action-packed Capsized and the mythical Greek adventure Apotheon, which enjoyed a great deal of success as part of the Playstation Plus February 2015 lineup.

Cryptark is a high-speed roguelike shooter that takes you into the lives of a band of space mercenaries. Your goal? Fulfill your freelancing contract by boarding and disarming the dangerous remnants of an ancient alien flotilla. Complete objectives to get paid, upgrade awesome weapons and gear, and finally gain access to the flagship known as the Cryptark to recover mysterious alien technology.

Cryptark allows the player to plan ship invasions and tackle problems however they see fit. You must knock out security systems such as factories, shields, and turret controllers onboard each ship before destroying the Central Core to bring in your paycheck.

CryptarkCryptark

Customize your suit by equipping optimal loadouts and assault each ship with a personalized plan of attack. Your victories will lead you to larger and more difficult ships, but greater rewards await the daring! Use caution and wit to gather your wealth, and strategy and skill to keep yourself in the game.

Cryptark is scheduled to launch next year on PS4.

This looks fun, and a lot better than Apotheon. Well played. ;)

    wtf? BETTER than Apotheon? Apotheon was pretty amazing. This looks like it’ll be good too. Day 1.

This looks potentially pretty cool. Could we get a somewhat more helpful release range, like early/mid/late 2016? :)

Looks like it was inspired by Galak-Z in a few areas, which is a good thing since that game’s amazing. Dead Star as well looks to take from Galak-Z, seems to be a popular concept lately.

Color me excited. But will we have a defined “end”? So that I can play it for… 4-10 hours and get an ending? Pretty please? That’s what I don’t like about roguelikes….

Consider it bought.
And damn Apotheon was released back in february?…man time flies.Anyway its pretty great to see you guys bringing a game completely different from Apotheon,we don’t see this very often from devs nowadays.You guys got ma respect and ma support,shame Apotheon came for free cuz I would’ve bought it regardless.

This looks great, outside of the fact that I’m terrible at sidescrollers, plus I haven’t even touched Galak-Z yet. =D

This looks even better that Galak-Z, saw a video on Giant Bomb and search for a PS4 version – stoked it’s coming.
