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.

With StarVaders, development team Pengonauts presents itself with personality in the landscape of independent productions. After tastefully mixing Star Invaders with grid-based strategists, the roguelike deckbuilder made by the Montreal-based software house was able to engage and entertain us. Simple to approach and difficult to master, fighting extraterrestrial visitors offers a magnetic loop gameplay that is tastefully varied and deep. If you are a fan of its sources of inspiration, StarVaders is the exact definition of “one more game and then I'll quit...maybe.... maybe not.”
