Description

About the Game

The alien invasion has shattered Earth’s defenses. Pilot, the fate of humanity now rests in your hands. Take the helm of a powerful mech and fight off the invasion—one card at a time.

StarVaders combines tactical grid-based combat with deckbuilding strategy, placing you in command of a formidable mech during humanity’s last stand against the invaders. Build up a deck of powerful cards, unleash devastating combos, and defend the Earth at all costs!

Pilot Your Mech Into Battle!

Every mech in StarVaders has its own squad of pilots. Each mech introduces unique cards and mechanics, while your pilot further enhances your strategy with their distinct, powerful abilities.

Take command of the Gunner Mech to unleash an endless flurry of bullets and explosions, get up close and personal with the ninja-like Stinger Mech, or unleash the powerful spells and summons of the Keeper Mech!

Discover Game-Breaking Combos!

Unleash game-breaking combos, outsmart the invaders, and push your build to the limit against ever-escalating threats. With hundreds of cards, artifacts, and upgrades, no two runs are ever the same.

Missed a perfect combo or found yourself cornered by the invaders? Use a Chrono Token to rewind time and rewrite your fate.

Endless Replayability

After each run, unlock powerful new cards, pilots, and deadlier enemies and bosses that raise the stakes in future battles. There’s an endless supply of builds and combos to discover every time you play.

Ready to push your limits? Take on the various Challenge Modes or dive into the Daily Run to really prove what you’re made of!

Gameplay is solid. However, the dopamine train is weak compared to Monster Train 2, the charm is absent compared to Cobalt Core, and the atmosphere is nonexistent compared to Into the Breach. The gameplay is all it has

Honestly, this game is way too addicting. There is strategy to your card order, your positioning, and what cards you choose. I can't even begin to describe how much fun this game has been. Love the aesthetic, the

Loved it. Quick, flexible, varied enough that it doesn't get boring quickly but presented in an inuitive way so I never really got confused about what a given card or enemy does, with a pleasant and clean art style and

I've never played a rogue-like that has successfully created a large selection of playable characters that actually feel both unique and fun to play. Starvaders has managed to do this. And, the balance between both the
