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.

Very fun tactical deck builder

In this deck builder you control a single mech as a bunch of invaders move down (and move in other ways, they get very creative with some bosses) on a grid. The mech is controlled through card play from a deck builded deck, slay the spire style. The story telling (including time travel) and vibe and gameplay are actually very similar to Cobalt Core, which also does tactics + deck building really well. Both games also have great vibe and music. Overall Star Vaders has somewhat better flow and shorter runs, making it more satisfying if you only have time for short runs.

A good Roguebuilder

(7h hours played at this moment) If you're the kind of player who enjoy game like slay the spire and into the breach this one is for you. The game is snappy, the combos are fast the challenge is there and rewarding and replayability seems good, also a lot of mechanically unique character. It's a good roguelite.

Excellent deckbuilding roguelike

An excellent blend of Into the Breach and Slay the Spire. Lots of characters, each with their unique playstyles and an extensive card pool which enhances replayability. For newcomers, this is a great introduction to the genre as the game is more forgiving than some of its counterparts. For veterans of the genre, this is a must-buy. Beware though that the base difficulties are quite simple if you're used to the difficulty of similar games.

Amazing Roguelite

If you're a fan of Roguelite Deckbuilders and Grid-Based combat you will love this game. The Mech aesthetic is always fun, especially if you're into things like Evangelion. Like any great roguelite, runs are quick and fast paced. But the combat has some reasonable depth and solid variety with each class. So it respects your time, but with a lot of room for unlocks to make more unique and crazy runs in the future. Best analogy I can make is Mecha Slay the Spire. If that sounds like something you'd like, absolutely give the game a try. Also the soundtrack slaps, not to spoil anything too deep. Zone 3 is an absolute banger. The team has done a fantastic job with this game, and it really should be getting more love.

Fun deck builder since STS

Never had this much enjoyment since Slay the Spire. Fun music, deep interesting mechanics and crazy combo capabilities. Looking forward to what comes next.
