The game

Kiseki

Kiseki is a space trading roguelike RPG. Build a captain from one of six species, take a battered ship out to the frontier, and decide how you make your living: honest freight, bounty work, smuggling, or piracy.

The sector lives on Kiseki, a crystal that powers its ships, its weapons and its economy. The war that was fought over it has ended, more or less. Unmarked ships have started appearing on long-range scans, and nobody will say whose they are.

  • 6species to play
  • 22+ports and systems
  • 2story acts
  • 1life per captain

What you do out there

Make a living. Keep the ship flying.

Trade the markets

Prices react to what each world makes and needs, and to what you sell there. Run cargo, passengers and contraband between ports, and watch for customs.

Fight, board, salvage

Turn-based ship combat where weapon type matters. Break a target's shields, then destroy it, disable it, force a surrender or board it and take what's left.

Fit your own ship

Every people builds its own parts. Fill weapon, shield, reactor, armor, sensor, engine, fuel and cargo bays with new, worn, rusty or tuned modules.

Hire a crew

Recruit pilots, gunners, engineers, doctors, marines and quartermasters at the bar. They level up, they expect wages, and they can die.

Pick your side

Every job you take changes your standing with the Terran government, the Jinko Republic, the Aerie Assembly, the Komodaki and the Free Ports.

Follow the story

An authored campaign runs alongside the open game: the end of a war, a rush for a new kind of crystal, and the ships nobody can identify.
