About this game
Shoot. Mutate. Evolve. Repeat.
Welcome to Crystal Quest: Electron - a rogue-lite of reckless but technically legal science. You command generations of Lovelies - adorably unhinged lab-born pilots - who collect Electron Crystals, blast Nasties and evolve stronger descendants. Recover Uncle Bernard's scattered brain and save the world from PRIME FLU... somehow. It's evolution with lasers, and the experiment never ends.
Grow ‘em. Splice ‘em. Blast ‘em.
Collect Electron Crystals, gather Questium and splice DNA from previous generations to evolve faster, funnier, freakier Lovelies. Every new generation grows stronger, inherits your discoveries, and opens up new combinations of abilities and playstyles.
A Shooter That Never Stops Flowing
It starts simple, then quietly builds into glorious chaos. Dodge danger, collect all of the Electron Crystals, adapt to dozens of Nastie behaviours and discover weapon combinations that turn impossible situations into spectacular victories.
Every Run Is Different
Every run reshuffles enemy encounters, Challenge Rooms, rewards, mutations and upgrade choices. Experiment with new builds, adapt on the fly and discover ridiculous combinations that make every expedition feel fresh.
Weapons. Lots of Them.
Experiment with guns, ammo types, special powers and DNA mutations. Discover outrageous combinations as your weapons, abilities and mutations stack together to create wildly different builds every run.
Challenge Rooms & Deep Delving
The deeper the dive, the stranger it gets. Master unique Challenge Rooms packed with hazards, rewards and unexpected surprises before venturing even deeper into the caves.
Save Uncle Bernard!!
Somewhere beneath the caves lies the key to curing the Prime Flu. Recover every piece of Uncle Bernard's scattered brain, defeat monstrous cave bosses and discover whether humanity can survive the strangest scientific experiment ever conducted.
Features
Rogue-lite top-down 3D shooter where every run offers new encounters, upgrades and mutations.
Evolve generations of Lovelies into increasingly powerful explorers.
Collect Electron Crystals to survive, mutate and progress deeper underground.
Discover dozens of guns, ammo types, special powers and mutagens that stack into unique builds.
Learn the behaviour of over 40 different Nasties and battle powerful cave bosses.
Explore Challenge Rooms, complete quests, gather Questium and uncover the pieces of Uncle Bernard's brain...
...and Save The World, obviously!

Crystal Quest: Electron - Development Update #1
Hi all - just wanted to give you all an update on how the game is progressing! This video is essentially a development diary of our past internal milestone working on CQE.The format is a little more formal in this one while feeling out an internal delivery process, so the next video will be a little more casual and less robotic 😁 Some of the things you see there may not make that much sense to you; we're aware that some of the systems we're talking about have only been seen by people inside Stainless so already have the context.We'll be gathering and answering as many questions for you as we can - thanks for watching and for your patience while we beaver away in the background!Read full article on Community Announcements (SG_Sam)
