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!

A remarkable tactical game which stands out in the deckbuilding genre. It is easy to learn hard to master, but you get addicted pretty fast. I like the characters and the art style which are truly fantastic. I can

A real gem. Part deckbuilder, part space invaders, part Into the breach. The synergies you can create work wonders in their own puzzly little ways. Screenshots don't do the visuals justice. More people need to find &

Not a bad deckbuilder. The nice things is that you have multiple characters that are all slightly to largely different. There are challenges and multiple challenge levels so for most people there is so much

Great game. Lots of fun synergies and strategies. Keeps me coming back. If you're a fan of deckbuilders, buy this game. Even the person who gave us Balatro loves it.

I will compare this to other deckbuilders with this analogy: You are attempting to make a sandwich. However, your sandwich is starting to go dangerously critical -- when you add mayo, you automatically add mustard. When
