Critic Reviews for StarVaders

StarVaders is a really fun and solid deckbuilder, it is well made from many points of view. Even if it has room for improvement, it deserves to sit at the same table as the best "videodrugames".

A near-flawless title, with an utterly fantastic gameplay loop, art direction and variety.

Nailing all the key aspects of what draws players into the genre, each hour or so run is fast and fun. Amazingly, the characters play wildly different, from zipping all over the board to blanketing it with bombs. While StarVaders is missing that rare chance of a single card or move that instantly becomes overpowered, the power curve is typically satisfying. The only thing holding things back are the frequent freezes and crashes, along with Steam Deck problems of buttons freezing. Thankfully, the save system is forgiving, so these are only minor annoyances.

StarVaders is a roguelike that stands out by combining dynamic tactical combat with a deck-building system full of possibilities. Even though it relies on familiar mechanics, the game impresses with its variety of strategies, diverse pilots and robots, and its vibrant, charismatic atmosphere. The experience also benefits from creative and well-designed battles, with enemies and challenges that require constant adaptation and encourage experimentation. Featuring a wide range of content, StarVaders is an engaging option for those who enjoy intelligent combat in a stylized universe full of personality.

We experienced with StarVaders a tactical adventure combining turn-based gameplay and roguelike elements, making it full of challenges. It offers diverse gameplay filled with abilities, but stumbles with a weak story and irritating sound design over time. Nevertheless, it remains a good choice for fans of challenging and turn-based games.

Star Vaders is a wonderful deck builder that features clever combat, time powers, and a whole lot of build variety to experiment with.
