StarVaders brings a card game where you pilot a mech to protect the future of humanity from alien invaders using tactical grid-based combat. Easy-to-learn but hard to master, by combining the spatial intuitiveness of grid-based tactics with the deep synergies and theorycrafting of deckbuilding games, StarVaders aims to present a uniquely elegant experience to both casual players and dedicated fans of the genre.
In StarVaders, the world depends on your deckbuilding and tactical skills, select your favorite among 10 pilots and jump into one of the 3 unique mechs available to fight alien invaders. Strategize, prepare crazy combos, and even use the rewind time feature with the chrono tokens to reverse the key mistakes, and keep your mission on track.
Each mech and its dedicated pilots offer unique synergies that modify the gameplay. Command the Gunner Mecha’s board-clearing firepower with Roxy, Noel, or Zeke, take control of the ninja-like Stinger Mecha with pilots Shun, Hali or Kaia, or unleash the spell-wielding powers of the Keeper controlled by Iris, Xenn, Garu or Sura. Enhance your mech's power with over 400 unlockable cards, artifacts, and upgrades, forming fresh strategies on the fly to face new alien enemies and monstrous bosses.
“It's always great watching someone play the game and discover a new combo I didn't even realize and then pretend it was all planned. I’m looking forward to seeing what players come up with when they put their hands on the release version and see all the cool stuff we added,” said Eddie Cai a.k.a. axolotl, Lead Designer.
