About This Game

The corporation saved your family. For a price. 

Now it's collection time, and they don't take checks.

There's one way to pay it off - dangerous work, no questions asked, and a body count that keeps climbing.

Star Ronin is a top-down ARPG built for players who think difficulty is a feature, not a bug. Go loud, go quiet, craft something ridiculous, and try not to die too many times before you get good.

NO HAND-HOLDING. NO MERCY.

Multiple difficulty levels exist. One of them lets you enjoy the story. The rest exist to test your roguelike skills, and they don't grade on a curve. Full tutorial included, plus an Arena mode to test your build before a real job kills you for being unprepared.

GO LOUD, OR GO HOME

Sneak past enemies with thermoptic camouflage, or get in close and backstab them like you mean it. Rush a room with your jetpack, call in drones, or just go loud with the biggest gun you own. Sightlines are real and enemies are smart, so spray and pray only gets you so far.

THINGS THAT WILL KILL YOU

Corporate goons are the tutorial. After that: kamikaze bomb swarms, robot dogs with flamethrower heads, and bosses with abilities designed to ruin your day. Everything reacts to how you fight, so whatever worked last time probably won't work again.

BUILD SOMETHING OVERPOWERED

Buy gear on the open market, or spend that money crafting your own weapons, exo-suits, and upgrades instead. Go full tank, go stupid fast, or dump everything into a power pool for weapons that eat energy like it's free. No wrong build, just builds that haven't gotten you killed yet.

SAME DEBT, DIFFERENT WAYS TO DIE

Every mission and map is procedurally generated, objectives, enemies, traps, bosses, all of it. Fight through corporate offices, desert moons, wherever the job takes you, and blow up, burn, or wreck anything in the way. One job pays out. The next might be the last thing you do.

FEATURES 

• No easy way out. Survive under the Charter that keeps the megacorps from wiping each other out, and pay off your debt one job at a time..

• Go loud, or go quiet. Thermoptic camouflage, jetpack traversal, and drone support, because there's more than one way to ruin someone's day.

• Procedurally generated, fully destructible missions. No two jobs play out the same, and nothing stays standing for long.

• A vast catalog of things that want you dead. Kamikaze bomb swarms, robot dogs with flamethrower heads, bosses with genuinely unfair abilities.

• Enemies with actual brains. They adapt to your tactics, so get creative or get outplayed.

• A crafting system with teeth. Build your own weapons, exo-suits, and upgrades. Tank, speed, or power builds, your funeral.

• A difficulty curve that means it. Multiple difficulty levels, from 'let me enjoy the story' to 'I want to suffer.'

• Arena mode. Test your build against something that isn't your actual life savings before you take it out for real.

• Dynamic lighting that isn't just for show. Use it to navigate, hide, or see the thing that's about to kill you before it does.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game's violence is PG at this time; there are blood splashes, but no serious stuff, and the pixelated style isn't hyper-realistic. Characters occasionally curse mildly. There's a bar where people smoke and drink, but it's not a focus of the gameplay, it's just used as setting.
