StarVaders, the debut title from Pengonauts, is a roguelike deckbuilder that merges classic Space Invaders mechanics with deep strategic gameplay. Drawing from a small initial deck, players must think tactically as advancing aliens threaten Earth. Unique to the game is the twist that players' mechs can't take direct damage; instead, failing to defeat aliens leads to junk cards cluttering the deck. This system encourages players to strategize around managing Doom, which can lead to game over if accumulated excessively, creating a dynamic and engaging gaming experience.
"StarVaders takes a maximalist approach to roguelike deckbuilding, offering multiple playable characters, tactical depth, and the ability to create exciting synergies among abilities."
"The game's mechanic of allowing players to accumulate junk cards instead of damaging their mech introduces a new layer of strategy, prioritizing the management of Doom over traditional health points."
