STARCINDER
Launches 11 November 2026 · PC
The Entropy Tide is devouring the galaxy. As the last captain of the Starseed, you must carry its spark from the Solar System to the beacon on the far side of the Milky Way. Act I is the Solar System: Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, the Main Belt, Jupiter, Saturn's rings, Uranus, Neptune and the Kuiper Belt. Act II crosses the Oort Cloud to Alpha Centauri, Sirius, the Pleiades, Betelgeuse and the Orion Nebula, ending at the Pillars of Creation. Act III runs through the Sagittarius Arm and the Galactic Bar, skims the accretion disk of Sagittarius A*, and reaches the Far Beacon at the galaxy's rim. Every stop has its own planets, stars and sky. Every level is a real journey: head for the jump gate on the horizon while patrols, ambushes and gate-guarding elites try to stop you. Reach the gate, hold it while it charges, and jump to the next stop — punch straight through or slip around the patrols. Your guns shatter asteroids, crystals, satellite wrecks and fuel canisters. Canisters explode, glowing ore drops scrap, and enemy fire breaks your cover too. Third-person, full six-degrees-of-freedom flight. Dashing makes you invulnerable, so you can slip straight through bullet curtains....
