About This Game

StarVaders is a deckbuilder where you pilot a mech to defend the Earth from alien invaders by engaging in combat on a tactical grid. Easy-to-learn mechanics synergize to create a crunchy, jam-packed roguelike.

Pilot a Mech Into Battle!

Zip around the skies and blow up the alien invaders with three different mechs which completely change the way you play. Each mech has a diverse cast of pilots, each with their own unique mechanics and distinct card pools.

Discover Game-Breaking Combos!

Outsmart the invaders by finding all synergies within the hundreds of cards, artifacts and upgrades! There’s always new build archetypes and combos to discover every time you play.

Never Stop Progressing!

After a run finishes, you’ll unlock new cards and new pilots. But also new enemies and bosses will appear in future runs to continue ramping up the challenge.

Key Features

  • Rewind Time: Chrono Tokens let you rewind time during pivotal moments. If you need to re-do a turn or refresh the shop for new cards, Chrono Tokens let you control time to make things go your way.

  • Endless Replayability: With 240 unique cards, 120 game-changing artifacts, extensive difficult modifiers and game modes, three mechs to pilot, and ten pilots with distinct playstyles, no two runs will ever be the same!

  • Pure Gameplay, No BS: No long tutorials, no microtransactions: just pure tactical deckbuilding gameplay.

  • All the Information You Need: StarVaders raises the standards for Quality of Life features in deckbuilder games. You’ll never need a wiki to figure out how things work!
