Signal Decay is a rogue-like stealth game with cooperative gameplay.
It’s a top-down action game that’ll instantly remind you of Ruiner, except that it has co-op, which is awesome.
You play as humanity’s last hope to save civilization from mind control. You’re called upon by an unknown computer and you need to work together cooperatively with your team in order to destroy the enemy computers. You can play with up to two other players and you need to communicate, plan, and cooperate as you infiltrate giant buildings and sneak around.
The game has a rogue-lite mode with procedural level generation. You can choose from a variety of weapons and special abilities that support various play styles. Each level gets increasingly difficult and also have variables such as changing rules and gameplay objectives. The game is largely dependent on a factor of unpredictability as each level or mission changes the game up.
If you’re a solo player, you can also play alone with a special ability not available in the co-op mode. If you play as a team, you need to work together by attacking and defending your team. There’s an alert level that slowly increases as you explore each randomly generated level.
You’ll have to collect resources to survive and complete the objective. Weapons and gadgets are rare, but necessary. they each have their own pros/cons that you need to master in order to use it effectively. Gadgets are little devices that help you by providing you with a single ability.
You can combine it with your weapons for an effective machine to take down enemies and beat the mission that much easier. Resources are scattered and hidden in each level. They unlock upgrades for your character. There are also bonus missions that help you out by providing extra upgrades and resources as well.
The game isn’t easy. Each enemy is unique and has its own weakness. It’s up to you and/or your team to exploit it and use the right ability int he right situation. The stealth factor is also a core concept of the game. You fly a spaceship over a global view of the world in real-time. You need to defeat all the enemy computers in all locations before they’re alerted.
