Neuroshift

The colony's beacon runs on machine parts, and it has three days of power left. Take a crew of up to six down the lift, tear parts off the machines you destroy, bolt them onto your own units, and decide how deep you dare to go — because nothing you carry is yours until you ride back up.

NEUROSHIFT is a turn-based squad tactics roguelite. This is a free early demo and I want your honest feedback — "I quit after five minutes because I didn't know what to do" helps more than a compliment. Use the GIVE FEEDBACK button in the main menu or the Esc menu, or the form directly (about 3 minutes, no sign-in): https://forms.gle/4RvA3Km9znbWJ1K27

Built from what you kill

- Every unit is three parts: the Weapon gives its active ability, the Head and Body give passives.

- Swap parts between units and the stats, reach and abilities change. The numbers in the Workshop are exactly the numbers the unit fights with.

- Five elements — Toxin, Kinetic, Electric, Plasma, Gravity. Match a unit's parts for Attunement; field several units of one element for squad Resonance.

Fight with full information

- Every enemy shows what it will do this round before it acts, and the damage preview is what actually happens.

- Reach matters: Close, Mid and Far weapons can only hit so far down the line, so where a unit stands is a decision.

- Five enemy behaviours (bruisers, snipers, assassins, supports, tanks), elites, and a warden at the bottom of the tier.

- Play every action yourself, or switch on auto-battle and take control whenever you want.

 Ride the lift or push on

- Pick your next stop from the cards in front of you — fights, elites, rests, and finds along the way.

- XP banks after every fight, and your roster always survives. The salvage doesn't: parts and sealed boxes are at risk until you ride the lift up. Wipe, and they stay down there.

- Boxes are earned, never bought, and every one says where it came from.
