About the Game
Break into spaceships!
Fly your pod up to any spaceship in the galaxy and dock with its airlock to sneak inside. From there, you've got to sneak up on the crew, outshoot them in slowmo gunfights, or outthink them with clever gadgets. Take missions to steal loot, assassinate VIPs, or rescue friends.
Take your time!
Get out of impossible situations by pausing at any time and taking as long as you need to figure out a clever plan. You have a wide range of gadgets with clever uses, and you can switch, aim and fire them with no time pressure at all, letting you pull off ridiculously cool tricks without needing twitch skills.
Liberate the galaxy!
All your missions get you closer to liberating new space stations from the empires that control them, and this unlocks new gadgets to buy in your shops, and special challenge characters to play.Lots more features!
I'm not making GIFs for all these!
I'm not made of GIFs!
I'm not some kind of GIF-golem!
Emergent gameplay!
Use gadgets like teleporters, stealth shields and subverters to invent your own solutions to tricky situations.Galactic zoom!
Zoom smoothly from a view of the whole galaxy down to your character sneaking up on guards inside the spaceship you're boarding.Choose your difficulty!
You choose each mission, ranging from trivially easy to nightmarishly hard. There's also a practice mode where you can try items and tactics with no consequences and instant-restart.
Randomly generated missions!
Each one picks a random combination of guard kit, ship layout, and complications like space battles.Each life is a new character!
Choose between randomly generated characters with different starting kit, and when you die, play as someone new in the same galaxy.Personal missions!
Every character has one grand heist to work towards: rescue their brother, steal their gun back, get revenge on their partner's killer.
Modular destruction!
Blow up any part of a ship with breach grenades or fuel barrels. Rip a ship in half. Get sucked into space by the vacuum.Rescue your friends' characters!
If someone on your friends list gets their character captured, and they aren't able to rescue them, maybe you can! You'll sometimes get a character whose personal goal is to rescue a friend's character. If you manage it, you unlock your friend's character to play as! They don't get it back. They had their chance. It's yours now.Find your friends' items!
When you retire an accomplished character, you can choose one item to pass on. You get to name it, and both your Steam friends and your own future characters have a chance to find these as loot. Equally, you'll come across items your friends have named.
What Heat Signature is not:
We don't want you to buy Heat Signature if it's not for you. We'd always rather have a happy non-customer than an unhappy customer. So here's what it isn't:-
- It's not story-driven: there's a backstory to this place and a few conversations with characters, but there's not a story that develops as you play. It's much more about the stories you generate by playing, about how you got out of impossible situation X or pulled off crazy stunt Y.
- There aren't other careers: You can't mine asteroids. You can't build ships. You can't recruit a crew. You're an infiltrator, you break into spaceships for a living, it's all about that.
- There are no planets: The whole game takes place in this nebula full of space stations. You can dock at any friendly station and board any hostile ship, but it's not a space exploration game.
- It's not multiplayer: The friends features mentioned above are fun but they're just sharing content, it's not multiplayer at all and you're never in the same world together.
There are cool games about all those things. This is a cool game about something else!

Very enjoyable with a STEEP learning curve. The ways of dealing with fleeing targets & alarms are varied but not all taught outright (there are guides). When you learn you can be John Wick / go on a kill bill sword killing spree it really clicks! After 11 hours I've more or less had my fill, but I am VERY satisfied at the asking price. Once you have a fallback character and decent gear it's exhilarating to glitch teleport and proceed to drop 5+ guards in under a second real-time.
Good game, probably one of the best in it's class.
There's room for improvement, particularly the mid game slog, and how long it takes to gear up new characters for the challenge missions. The AI isn't the brightest, and winds up getting some pretty insane buffs to pose a challenge to a player.
Still, as is, it's one of the best in it's class. The variety of gear and abilities, especially in the context of the mission variety, provides a decent amount of replayability.
Played it thru in 2 days. Amazing once u start getting the hang of things
1. The tutorial... is about 5% of the stuff you need to know. So you WILL die lots to game mechanics you do not understand, losing lots of progress.
2. The game cannot decide if you are going to fire... Usually you release your mouse button to fire, and while you hold fire down you are in bullet-time. 95% of my deaths have been from my sword not slashing when I release fire, ...instead releasing fire just removes bullet time, then I am immediately murdered (yes the enemies are well within range).
3. No 4k support, thus blurry text...
4. Terrible inventory management
5. Unusable with a controller, as it emulates a mouse...
Honestly I really wanted to like this game, but it feels like a beta, and one with a seriously messed up bullet-time-firing bug 3/10. Not worth $1.00 seriously... If it was free I'd play it, but it's buggy like a free flash game. I'm sick of dying to a bug *Yes I have used practice combat mode.
Too busy with rather playing the game instead of reviewing it so far.
But I need to add a positive here finally.
Here's from curator for now:
"Learning the ropes here &what is effective is fun. Setting/theme is awesome. Come fully prepared or attempt to improvise and choose your diff. Daily challenge you can compete in rounds it out further."
It's a very excellent game.
However the daily challenge competing stuff is muddled with some quirks people use AutoHotKey for to trigger reliably.
Usually without such you stand no chance to land a top spot.
very good
holy fuck this makes me feel like a BADASS
Great game lots of fun to be had
you havent truly played heat signature until youve killed everybody on a ship in a single frame...
oh yeah this is a review, HIGHLY RECCOMENDED i love it.
Tutorial is inefficient.
You need to capture ship, you approach it, it flies away.
Where are the steps that explain this part?
You die in one hit and cannot save / load during mission. Terrible design.
I will fondly remember how I went tooth and nail against an enemy, using every gadget I had, using single use expensive gear to increase my survivability, but then getting cornered and failing.
Then I noticed that this enemy faction uses non-lethal weapons and stealth is optional.
So I went straight back into the map, yoinked the keys from the guards and ran away from em and ended up completing the mission after 4 consecutive tries.
I like it a lot. Solid strategy pause and play with enough tools to keep it interesting. That is until the tools are deleted on you from time to time.
So ya, the only thing that has happened far too many times and as of this moment is the reason I'm hanging up my gloves on this title is that the game deletes equipment left in your ship when you sign off for the day, or even just sit at the bench for a moment in the character select bar, which i just did accidentally on a simple miss click and it toasted my best of the best gear on a character I had ready to retire but wanted to do a couple more glory missions with first.
So it had been super disappointing when this happened with lesser gear, but man is this a basic error I will blame on the developers for, and here is why. The items left on the ship are already set for "stash later" they are on the station with you, just parked in your pod... and they really should be transported to the stash if either of these basic instances occurs. (signing out or sitting at the bar) It's really lame that this avoidable situation is what has led to this level of disappointment and putting the title aside.
Anyways, I say BUY the game, but do so on a BIG SALE rather than full price or small discount since you might otherwise want to put in more hours without a flaw such as this, its really excellent aside from screwing you so hard its disheartening on just this one issue.
Oh snap, just thought of a third instance, one time I bought a new ship/pod while I had gear on the previous pod and was surprised it didn't teleport to my stash since it was all set to return to stash, this was the first time it happened I think.
Happy gaming errrybody
Absolutely love this game. Reminds me a lot of Sword of the Samurai stealth sections. Great dev, worth following all their projects.
I have enjoyed all of the previous suspicious development games and this one is no different. Very easy to pick up and play, and very fun and dynamic gameplay. It will always be satisfying launching enemies into space!
Man, this game is good fun.
To keep it short,
Very indie, excellent gameplay, many play styles,
Doesn't hold your hand, little learning curve,
Graphics/UI aren't beautiful, neither is the sound design/soundtrack,
But MAN is this game satisfying to get better at.
Makes you feel badass in a way very few games I've played ever have.
<3
I'd give you a pep talk and all that, but pretty much everyone who attempts this kind of thing dies.
It's honestly a super cool game. Been playing on and off for years and figured I should recommend it. The combat is enjoyable, story is bare-bones enough that you can make up your own story, and the art/theme is up my alley. Overall, I enjoy it and the challenges it presents.
Never gets old. I've been jumping in and out of this game for years and it always seems modern and fresh.
Planning the heist is almost as much fun as executing it. The risk/reward balance is perfect. The pause-and-plan gameplay pacing is perfect.
This game is a simple gem. I keep coming back to it every few months/years to play a bit more.
uhh can't remember playing it tbh but I have 322 hours in it so it must be kinda good
God Tier
Fun, cerebral roguelike that combines careful planning and careful execution in a satisfying way.
This game is so much fun. I can't recommend this enough.
i would fantasize about living in this universe if the life expectancy wasn't 30
buggy
This game is awesome I wish there where more of it. But you should know anything this guy makes is the best
Very fun
All-time favorite. Never have I done so many cool things in a video game before.
I remember playing this game way before in early access off-steam when you had to (for some reason) move your PC clock back a couple years so the game will work.
I was very surprised to see it here and bought it without second thought, and was not disappointed.
Gameplay - you infiltrate various ships of different enemy factions, be it through stealth or raw firepower, and complete tasks like kill/kidnap/rescue people, steal items or blow ships up. Some missions have special requirements, like "leave no witnesses" or "do not be seen at all" (not the same).
In your a arsenal there is a large variety of equipment:
1. Teleporters - switch locations with targets or teleport to remote place for a few seconds and then go back, even if you get shot.
2. Crashers - subvert or break many devices: personal shields, that either turn off or reflect bullets into enemies; turrets that will start shooting enemies; stationary teleporter so that your target cannot escape, etc.
3.Weapons - there is only a few main types, but many varieties - lethal/non-lethal, armor-piercing, grenades, several melee weapons and truly unique legendary ones.
4. Pods - by default you start in a basic, default pod. As you progress you unlock special faction ones - one is able to pull you in from space and stabilize your wounds, other cannot be detected by sensors, and a different one allows you to ram into ships (and survive).
All this equipment (excluding pods) can be either found or bought at the stations.
All of these items will get various prefixes (except pods) as you progress, like (self-)rechargeable so you don't have to go back to station in order to reload them.
As for player character you get a selection of few characters that have various quirks, which will either make you earn less or more points - someone can't shoot guns, or will die immediately on getting shot with lethal weapon, or has special starting equipment, etc..
Characters will likely die sooner or later but you can 'retire' them, putting them in hall of fame and allowing you to save and item for you and friends to find in the future, be it a strong self-recharging concussive shotgun or just a shortblade you really liked. You are incentivized to do this as you will earn less and less score (not money) from missions if you are very successful at one character, as population demands another hero to show up.
The game can get a little repetitive at times, though - ships don't just get bigger as difficulty increases, as enemies also get various devices - guards get heat tracking devices that detects you in small area around them, or teleporters that allows them to instantly teleport to suspicious sounds and many more.
At harder difficulties special units appear - tracker (he tracks you) or shield guy that gives guards impenetrable shields around (though he cannot afford one himself).
Completing game is done by liberating all factions fortresses, at which point you can start a new universe or continue playing.
There is a daily challenge mode with shared seed and challenge missions that pay in nothing but score and bragging rights.
Great little game to kill some time in. The mission design means it's easy to jump into a ten minute mission. The fun from this game comes from trying to run those perfect missions without a mistake, and then making the best of a situation gone wrong. The atmosphere of the game is almost cowboy bebop-esque, with last minute scrambles to escape and ship interactions that change the course of the heist. story is pretty barebones, with each character having a background specific mission that will allow them to retire, though it is essentially a roguelike. a great game with quick scrappy missions that allow for a lot of prep and planning, you can play it like metal gear or hotline miami, 8.5/10 would reccomend
the user interface is so small it's hard to read. the visuals of the maps are ugly and indistinct. the gameplay is actually pretty interesting but grows thin quickly, and isn't fun enough to look past the flaws
Wow.
This game is awesome.
A rogue-like game based in space where you infiltrate ships and steal/kill/capture stuff for money? HELL YEAH.
AND FOR ONLY TWO BUCKS?!
Have a lot more hours than it said, probably one of the best indie mistake i made and found a clever way out of!
What an addicting stick mess! lol
This game is intolerably under-known!
Can't wait for a co-op future in 3rd person where you can do those crazy things solo or co-op a bit like hell diver, dived into a bigger format and somehow make it work!
Till then we have this and it's great fun!
fun until the game starts to cheat
There's a learning curve that turns many players away, but if you love being a badass or enjoy a challenge, this is the game for you.
Mission grading is very simple and the difficulty can scale quickly, especially if you haven't figured out the gear. For the difficulty scale, you'll see less enemies, less equipment variance and less lethal equipment (concussion only). The harder the difficulty, the more equipment variance (shields, thermal detectors, shotguns, explosives), more enemies (quantity and quality) and more lethal equipment (hostile called Predator can kill you instantly with a teleport if you don't disable is equipment with a trap first).
You aren't limited to just your equipment when going into missions. You can steal equipment from enemies, turn their turrets against them, or use the environment. Nothing more satisfying than blowing out a window next to 3+ guards.
Absolutely amazing and underrated game
Holy flip. I didn't know about this game until about a year ago and its changed me. I think I've started to think faster and the story is crazy. Sovereign is a very interesting idea and I hope theres a book based off of it.
So many ways to play and all of them make you feel clever or clutch. Going into seemingly impossible encounters and somehow finding the way through leaves you astonished. If there's a style you find you really enjoy, you can take your character and play exclusively around that. Somewhat of a hidden gem and definitely criminally underplayed.
Rip crashing the brick into every ship and winning in 10 seconds every mission, gone but not forgotten.
Ehh. Same gameplay over and over again. Buy it if it's on sale, I guess.
Hotline Miami 2 but with stealth, in space, as a rogue-lite.
assassination missions are pretty cheesable (capture second ship, control second ship, shoot at assassination mission ship from safe distance until VIP is dead) but i still love the gameplay
If you love making insane things happen in video games, this game is made for that, and it ENCOURAGES it. Its made to be janked out and exploited. If you liked that about games like streets of rogue, get this.
An extremely good entry into Suspicious Developments' systems-first games. Will consume your entire brain if you let it. And Tom's signature writing style is sprinkled through just enough for the game to have real personality without bogging you down in an operatic story (not that that's a bad thing, per se, it's just not that kinda game).
Easy to recommend, easy to play. Lose yourself in it.
The learning curve is going from accidentally throwing yourself out a hull breach to intentionally throwing yourself out a hull breach.
AwSOME
Fantastic game! Really brilliantly designed and highly replayable.
Perfect mix of hilarious and strategic.
This game is beautiful, also what if this game had multiplayer? I mean it says remote play support but like, what if?
Nice game :)
