Truth be told, this isn't a major element of play, as by and large you want to keep every major role filled by someone so will likely just typecast your whole squad, but it means you get to play with pretty much any new toy you might find. Others still can actively change one of your unit's class - not merely allowing you to stick a hammer in her hand and switch a unit from ranged to melee, but also add off-hand items that might make a medic into an engineer or scout. In every mission, you'll collect a shower of various loot (let's be honest, if this hadn't had 'pixel' in the title, it would have plumped for 'loot'), much of which is little more than junk, but some of which gives your team a meaningful offensive or defensive boost. In between these, you manage a quartet of resources to fund both upgrades and survival, with the emphasis heavily on the former. It's a team-based, side-on Diablo, only rather than an open map you're selecting away missions from your spaceship. That's the pixel element done, so now I can natter about the game proper. Was that a Jawa I saw? And I swear I just shot a pack of Borg. Said characters may be borrowing liberally from other sci-fi too. In fact, the environment art shoots for a bit more detail and is far more attractive than the squat block-head characters. Me, I've got pixel ennui, but nothing here is objectionable. Says pixel in the title, has pixel art in the game.

Though its title and appearance suggest cynical faux-retromancy, underneath that mercenary skin there's plenty going on. To FTL what Aliens is to Alien, Pixel Privateers is a lost-in-space roguelikeish that's focused on interplanetary ground missions and loot-showers rather than interstellar survival.
