Sci-fi JRPG roguelite. Very cool neon pixel art graphics and solid electronic music. Excellent turn-based gameplay focusing heavily on manipulating a timeline and controlling the flow of battle. It's fairly similar to SaGa Scarlet Grace, but quite a bit less complicated and a fair deal easier -- I was able to win on my first run on normal without ever catching a whiff of danger. It still took me 7ish hours, though, so quite hefty for a roguelite. The characters say a lot of goofy sci fi things that are dumb but make me smile and plot was some interdimensional nonsense, but I'm a fan of that too. I'll come back to try out higher difficulties and new characters at some point, but I have other games calling to me for now.

so many questionable design decisions. im sure theres a better game in here if you took it apart and made something different with its pieces, but as it is i cant recommend it to literally anybody.

If this wasn't a roguelike it'd be awesome. Unfortunately, it is, and my first run of it took me like 6 hours which is just unreasonable. Shame because it looks really good and the battle system is fun to poke around in.

- Music: 8/10
- Aesthetics: 10/10 (as you can see)
- Writing: 2/10 (boring, uninspiring, skipped most of the time)
- Combat: 10/10 (addicting, satisfying, engaging)
- Game loop: 9/10 (Fun, simple)
- Content: 5/10 (nth much to do; bare bone roguelite experience with the same maps; not worth the full asking price)

 My only big complaint is bugs. Sometimes it won’t sync with Steam Cloud save though after several attempts unless I restart my pc. And I also struggle to drag my mouse around for card sharing at the camp.

 Still recommended (this game is great but could have been better)

I love the idea of a turn-based, RPG style roguelike, and they do pull it off quite well. The roguelike genre is just so overstuffed these days that a game like Star Renegades can easily fall under the radar and suffer from genre fatigue.

Traz elementos novos ao combate de turnos e incorpora os elementos de Roguelite na narrativa de uma forma muito concisa.
