description Prospector Overview
Prospector is a freeware science fiction roguelike notable for its squad-based approach to space exploration, in which the player guides a team of characters across procedurally generated star systems, planets, and derelict spacecraft. The game draws on the tabletop role-playing game Traveller for its exploration-focused structure, featuring turn-based planetary survey, salvage, and encounters with various hazards and alien life. Unlike most roguelikes that focus on a single character, Prospector emphasizes managing multiple crew members and their distinct capabilities.
