OrangePixel is best known for its snappy, zippy, arcade-inspired games like Gunslugs and Heroes of Loot. But for its next game, the indie outfit is trying something new.

Space Grunts will be a turn-based roguelike about surviving an alien onslaught. But it is being "designed like an action arcade game".

Which means that the game sheds a lot of the statistical depth of your typical turn-based experience, and it can be played at a steady clip if you like. Or, if you need time to think, you can stop and the game will wait for you to take a breath.

Check out the developer's preview video above to see what I mean.

That - and the fact that it's coming to iOS, Android, and various PC platforms - is about all we know right now. But we'll let you know when we hear more. Keep an eye on the game's website for extra info.
