About This Game

Starfend is a 3D sci-fi tower defense roguelite built for players who love deep builds, meaningful choices, and runs that never play out the same way twice.

Defend Earth against endless meteor waves on procedurally generated maps. Every decision matters — from where you place your drones to which buffs you stack and which stones you equip.

Wave Buff Cards Between each wave, choose 2 upgrade cards from 5 random options. With 30 different cards in the pool, no two runs share the same build path. Plan ahead, adapt on the fly, and find combinations that snowball into something devastating.

Stone Buff System After each wave, earn 2 stones dropped by the enemies you just defeated — each with random buffs. Collect crystals to buy more. Stones come in 3 tiers: Tier 1 grants 1 buff, Tier 2 grants 2, Tier 3 grants 3. Equip up to 30 stones across your drones (10 per drone, one of each tier) and build the exact loadout your strategy demands.

Color Synergy Combat Combine drones of matching colors — Grey, Red, Green, Blue, and hybrids — to unlock global damage multipliers that amplify your entire defense. The deeper you stack synergies, the harder everything hits.

Permanent Progression Invest resources into a persistent Skill Tree between runs. Every session makes you stronger, even when you fall short.

Compete Globally Climb the Steam leaderboard. Reach higher waves. Fight for a spot in the Top 10.

If you enjoy the build depth of Brotato, the strategic layering of Dungeon Warfare 2, or the "one more run" pull of 20 Minutes Till Dawn — Starfend brings that same obsessive loop to 3D space tower defense.

No two runs. No two builds. No mercy.
