StarFear: A 2D Space Extraction Roguelite Where Loss is Permanent

Your gear is your gamble in StarFear. Risk it to win it, because what you bring in, doesn't come back if you don't survive. Prepare for intense space battles where quick reflexes and strategic decision-making are crucial for survival in this thrilling 1-4 player 2D space extraction roguelite.

Venture into hostile zones, scavenge powerful weapons and vital equipment, and fight your way to extraction. Every run is a risk, and death means permanent loss of everything you carried. Will you choose the best loadout for each run, or hoard valuable loot for a later, bigger score?

• Fuel is your lifeline. Run out, and you're drifting helplessly in the void.
• Face the dangers solo, or team up with friends and endure the inevitable requests to "go find my stuff!"
• Die, learn from your mistakes, and survive long enough to defeat the menacing Kessari.
• Gain experience to level up your pilot and increase the threat level for greater challenges and rewards.

Intense 2D Space Combat

StarFear delivers a hard, fast, and fair 2D space twitch shooter experience. It's not just bullet hell; it's about skillful maneuvering and tactical awareness. Become the best version of your pilot: master dodging, timing your defenses, and landing precise shots.

When you die — and you will — it'll be because of a decision you made. The combat demands improvement, and the satisfaction of overcoming challenges is what makes StarFear so rewarding. Fly, die, repeat, and get better!

Uncover a Gripping Narrative

Fueled by vengeance, embark on a mission to avenge your family. Your father's ship, a cryptic transmission, and a missing sister - the Kessari are responsible for your pain. Can you survive long enough to exact your revenge?

Seek out black market contacts, decode cryptic transmissions, and relentlessly hunt down those responsible across a series of increasingly challenging encounters that culminate in a final, decisive confrontation.

Master the Extraction Loop

Between high-stakes missions, prepare your ship in a shared hub. Customize your weapons, configure your ship's systems, stock up on precious fuel, and carefully decide what you're willing to risk in the next run. Then, drop into a hostile zone teeming with danger.

Be aware of enemy patrol patterns, detection ranges, and heat sensitivity. Engaging your engines near patrols could trigger an investigation! Delve deeper into hostile territories for improved loot. Completing objectives advances the storyline. Extract successfully to keep your hard-earned rewards. Fail, and it all vanishes.

As you progress, escalating threat levels unlock more dangerous zones, tougher enemies, and even more lucrative loot.

Your Ship: A Complex System

Fuel powers everything – engines, weapons, shields. Run dry mid-run, and you'll find yourself drifting helplessly through the void. Oxygen depletes with each crew member on board. Take too much damage, and your ship will start exhibiting malfunctions: thrust misalignments, weapons inaccuracy, and increased fuel consumption.

Repair what you can, and replace what you can't. Continue your mission even with failing systems, or trade valuable cargo for speed and get out while you still have the chance.

The Arsenal of Destruction

Every run is a calculated decision about what you're willing to lose. Choose from rapid-fire machine guns, precise sniper rifles, devastating shotguns, powerful explosives, beam weapons that ramp up damage over time, and force weapons that can send enemies crashing into walls.

Equip engines that balance speed with fuel efficiency, shields that drain your fuel tank faster than you'd like, and equip utility slots with dodges, blinks, tow cables, enhanced sensors, and more!

For the ultimate thrill, modify your favorite weapons and experience the even greater pain of loss when they're gone!

Team Up or Fly Solo

StarFear provides a thrilling solo experience, but it's even more engaging with friends!

Team up with up to 3 players. Coordinate as a squadron of fighters to harass your enemies, or crew a single vessel and distribute system management responsibilities. Your stash is shared, so argue over equipment choices when fuel reserves are dwindling!

Collaborate on objectives and coordinate your actions, or don't, and apologize later!

Persistent Progression

Your perk tree and account level carry over between runs, giving you a sense of persistent progress. Your gear, however, does not. Invest perk points in a branching tree of 60+ perks across weapons, engines, and defense. Meaningful specialization gates force you to make tough choices.

Equipment power scales alongside new, harder enemies. Completing objectives unlocks new items in the hub store, opens new zones, and advances the story. Save your run and continue your adventure later at your own pace.
