Hi!

I'm the solo developer behind SATURA, a free dark sci-fi pixel-art action roguelite that I've been developing independently with AI assistance.

The game features intense enemy hordes, evolving weapons, dash and shockwave abilities, boss encounters, and atmospheric biomechanical environments.

I'm currently looking for my first real playtesters and would really appreciate some honest feedback on the gameplay, visuals, difficulty, and overall experience.

A quick note about the Windows version:

Since SATURA is still an early independent build, Windows SmartScreen or some antivirus software may flag the executable or display a security warning.

I'm aware of this potential issue and I'm actively working to investigate and resolve it.

I completely understand if you're uncomfortable running a file that triggers a security warning. Please don't disable your antivirus or bypass any security protections. If you encounter a warning, I'd appreciate knowing which antivirus detected it and what message appeared.

You can check out SATURA here:

I'd be incredibly grateful if you considered trying the game or featuring it on your channel.

Thank you so much for your time!

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie developer working on SATURA, a free dark sci-fi action roguelite featuring atmospheric pixel art, biomechanical environments, intense enemy hordes and fast-paced combat.

I've been developing the game independently with AI assistance, and I'm finally looking for my first real playtesters!

So far, I'm the only person who has actually played and tested the game, so getting honest feedback from other players would mean a lot to me.

SATURA already features different enemies, weapons, dash and shockwave abilities, boss encounters and evolving combat mechanics.

I'm looking for a few people willing to try the game for just 10 minutes!

I'd particularly love to know:

• Is the combat fun and satisfying?
• Do you like the visual style and atmosphere?
• Is the gameplay clear and the difficulty balanced?
• Did you encounter any bugs or performance issues?
• Would you want to keep playing?

Important note about Windows security:

Since SATURA is an early independent Windows build, Windows SmartScreen or some antivirus software may display a security warning about an unrecognized application.

Please don't disable your antivirus or bypass security warnings. If you encounter any warnings, I'd appreciate knowing which security software flagged the game and what message appeared, so I can investigate and improve the distribution process.

I'm not looking for compliments. I genuinely want honest feedback, including criticism, to make SATURA a better game.

This is a passion project that I'm hoping to develop into a complete indie game, and having even a handful of real players would be an incredible first step.

Thank you so much for your time and for giving SATURA a chance!

Thank you so much for your reply and for sharing your thoughts on Zero's abilities! I really appreciate the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow developers.

Your project sounds really interesting too! I'd be more than happy to give it a try, especially since I'm curious to see how the AI-driven character interactions work.

Feel free to share the link and invite code whenever you're ready!

Thanks again, and best of luck with your development!

Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to look into the mechanics!

You've actually touched on one of the main things I'm working on right now. The idea is to make dash and shockwave serve two different tactical purposes, dash helps you quickly reposition, while shockwave gives you some breathing room when you're surrounded by hordes.

At this stage, I'm mainly focusing on balancing the difficulty and survival pacing. I want combat to feel increasingly challenging without becoming frustrating.

Of course, enemy readability is also really important, especially when the screen starts filling up with creatures!

SATURA is still a very early prototype, so feedback like yours is genuinely valuable.

If you get the chance to try it, I'd love to hear what you think, especially about how these two abilities feel during combat.

Thanks again for the support!
