About
Space Grunts: Chrono Shard is a high-octane blend of tactical depth and arcade energy. With the power of the Chrono Shard, you don't just survive the void, you master it.
Use your Shard to rewind the clock. Any items you’ve placed or changes you’ve made to the environment stay exactly where they are for your next attempt. Learn from the past to conquer the future.
Forget slow-paced menus. This is the original Space Grunts speed. Fast-paced, turn-based combat that rewards quick thinking and even quicker trigger fingers.
Take control of your loadout. Find crafting stations to disassemble loot, scavenge resources, and upgrade your weapons into unstoppable tools of destruction.
Shape your playstyle. Invest in three core skill types to unlock specialized sub-classes. Whether you become a Sniper, Assassin, Hitman, Hardened, Elite, Engineer, Gadget, Gearhead, or Veteran, your build defines your edge.
Every shot counts. Use unique weapon spread patterns and explosive shockwaves to physically manipulate the battlefield, launching enemies into hazards or clearing your path to the HyperGate.
Deploy into procedurally generated space stations and moon bases. Every mission is a new layout of mysterious sectors and deadly surprises.
A sentient Ooze is devouring the galaxy, jumping through a hijacked network of HyperGates. As part of the Space Grunts’ elite tactical unit, you are dropped into "time bubbles" to shut down the gates and contain the spread.
Navigate procedurally generated space stations and moon bases where every mission is a new layout of mysterious sectors and deadly surprises. Loop the timeline, evolve your grunt, and stop the Ooze—at any cost.
Persistent Time-Loops: Carry over items and environmental changes between runs.
Elite Sub-Classes: Level up your skills to unlock unique benefits.
Advanced Crafting: Create, upgrade, and scrap gear at specialized stations.
Signature Fast-Paced Gameplay: The classic Space Grunts arcade feel in a turn-based format.
Procedural Universe: Infinite missions across stations, moon bases, and deep space.

This is another gem by Orange Pixel. The game play is turn based, but you don't have to wait. The enemies move and attack after every move you make. Which can make this a fast paced game, but acting too hasty and making wrong moves will cost you your life. Fortunately you have the Chrono Shard which set you back to your last respawn point and saves your progress. However the Chrono Shard depletes with every move and needs to be recharged regularly at transport platforms all over the place. The game also adds other really fun game mechanics that will make you plan before you act. If you like exploring derelict spacecraft with bio based monsters that also create zombies, this is the game for you. Think about your next move before you blow everything up to save the day. p.s.: The default mouse and keybinding is not that useful. I remapped the keys to something like Hollow Knight uses. Arrow keys + ZXCASD + space.
Very good game - easy to pick up and play -
Lots of fun, great game! Have played the previous Space Grunts game, and this one is my favorite. Great music and strategy. One thing to learn is this is not just a brute force game, you have to think your way through puzzling situations to stay alive (I have to keep learning this). Love the tie-ins to Residual! Great job, highly recommend!
