Lonestar, launched in April 2025, has received notable praise on Steam for its take on tactical gameplay akin to Into the Breach. The game features a roguelike structure where players choose pilots and ships, embarking on bounty-hunting missions across a galaxy. While it bears visual resemblances to FTL, its combat revolves around using dice rolls to counter enemy attacks, adding a layer of strategy. Although the game lacks character depth within its galaxy, the combat mechanics and unique bounty descriptions enhance player engagement, making it a notable entry in sci-fi strategy gaming.
Visually, Lonestar has some similarities with Subset Games' pre-Into the Breach release, FTL. It starts you off with a choice of pilots and ships.
In each round, the enemy will fire its attack units, launching a beam of energy straight out toward your ship. You have a limited amount of fuel that you can use to simply dodge one or more attacks.
