"This is a turn-based game for people who don't like turn-based games, and a roguelike shooter for people who hate roguelike shooters." - TouchArcade 4/5
Space Grunts combines fast paced arcade action with turn-based gameplay.
The year 2476, Earth's space-federation has been building moon-bases across the galaxy. One of those moon-bases has been sending a distress signal.
Space Grunts are a group of intergalactic "problem" solvers, sent to investigate..
You play one, out of a team, of Space Grunts, and your mission is simple: find your way into the moon-base, and figure out what has happened. You'll have to fight your way through aliens, robots, security drones and base-systems. Find the lower levels of the moon-base, and get to the core of the problems.
Consumables
A large collection of consumables can be found all over the moon base from weapon enhancers, to destructive toys, armor, explosives, system-hacks, and more. Use the items wisely to advance deeper into the moon-base.
Weapons
Starting with three standard Grunt weapons, you will be able to enhance them for more fire-power and range. On your way you'll also find alternate weapons, and melee weapons.
Secrets
There are various ways to complete the game, anomalies leading to weird places, underground routes, and mysterious items to transport you to other area's of the moon-base. On top of these there are secret rooms and area's located all over the base, so never a dull moment!
Can you find the core of the problems?

Action Roguelike!
Ghastly13
Another great title from these developers! This game is a breath of fresh air in an App Store full of stale roguelikes. Great job : D
Maybe fun?

It looks good and is almost fun, but there's something way off with the virtual joystick, I have to tap left multiple times and it still goes the wrong direction or doesn't process my tap, makes the game loose all fluidity. I've tried moving the area it's at didn't work, and its the same way on my iPad, so I hope this can be patched it's incredibly inconvenient. Otherwise seemed fun, couldn't get very far.
Great game and surprisingly deep for a short death!

Great game overall. Good pixel graphics. My only gripe (literally the only complaint I have) is the controls. I feel there could be a great swipe movement/tap to shoot control scheme implemented. I like the option to change controls, personally I moved the shoot button Right in middle of the directional pad for one handed play, but a swipe-type mechanic could work well. 5***** hoping that the controls can be updated.
Good game

Good game, same vibe as Nuclear Throne just turn based. I would like a wait button or more variety to the weapons.
Great game! Please add mfi controller supp

Love this game. Would be even better if I could use my mfi controller.
Seriously good Rogue-like

I've almost had enough of rogue likes, most are the same old thing, play a few times and it's the same old stuff, not offering enough to keep up my interest. OP did it right with this one, great pixel art graphics, great sounds, the right amount of randomness each run... Just makes you want to again and again. Grab it now for $2 and get a heck of a lot more than your money's worth!
Excellent game.
PC Gamer Magazine
Excellent game for those who've played his other games, this one is more future based with aliens and lasers and such. Very good. Roger like, 2d, old school game. Love it.
Fun and frustrating

The game is extremely enjoyable but it's really hard to progress. And I feel that the player is encouraged to blast open boxes for items but sometimes a container might fill the room with poisonous gas, leaving you no where to go but die. I think it would be better if the gas would eventually evaporate but it doesn't. It's a little too challenging for casual play.
Loving everything about this game

Easily the best rouge like we've had in a LONG time. Plenty to keep you coming back again and again.

Q*bert goes boom
Now this is a turn based game I can enjoy! First off -- it's sci-fi (SWEET). The retro graphics and sound fit the game perfectly. You have to think. Going in all guns a blazing will get you killed fast. The variety of weapons, equipment, and enemies is cool. Good replay value. Thanks Pascal Brestebroer for your turn based goodness.
