About This Game

The corporation saved your family. For a price. 

Now they’ve come to collect on your debt.

There's only one way to pay it back - dangerous work, no questions asked. Star Ronin is a top-down ARPG where you go loud or go quiet, craft your own arsenal, and take on jobs that never play out the same way twice.

GO LOUD, OR GO QUIET

Sneak past enemies with thermoptic camouflage, or get in close and backstab them. Rush a room with your jetpack, call in drones, or just go loud with the biggest gun you've got. Realistic sightlines and intelligent enemies mean every approach has to be earned.

A VAST CATALOG OF FOES

Corporate goons are just the start. Expect swarms of kamikaze bombs, robot dogs with flamethrower heads, and bosses with vicious abilities, all reacting intelligently to how you fight, forcing you to adapt fast, or die trying.

BUILD YOUR OWN WAY OUT

Buy gear on the open market, or craft your own weapons, exo-suits, and upgrades. Build a tank, chase speed, or set up a power pool for energy hungry weapons. Your call, your build.

NO TWO JOBS ARE THE SAME

Every mission and map is procedurally generated, from objectives to enemies, traps, and boss encounters, across environments from corporate offices to desert moons. Everything can be blown up, set on fire, or used against them. One job pays well. The next might kill you.

PICK YOUR DIFFICULTY

Focus on the story, or test yourself against a true difficulty curve built to keep you engaged for days. Use the built in tutorial and Arena mode to master your build before risking it for real.

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.
