A New Frontier Awaits
Tokyo-based game developer crim Co. Ltd, celebrated for their innovative title El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, is gearing up to launch their newest venture into the gaming cosmos with STARNAUT. Scheduled for an Early Access release on Steam this February 14th, 2024, STARNAUT promises to whisk players away on an epic journey beyond the confines of our universe.
From the Creative Mind Behind Iconic Games
Sawaki Takeyasu, the visionary leading crim’s development team, brings to the table a rich pedigree of game design with titles like Devil May Cry and Okami under his belt. With STARNAUT, Takeyasu continues his legacy of creating engaging and innovative gaming experiences. “The journey towards STARNAUT‘s full release will be shaped by the community. Early Access on Steam is just the beginning of this exciting adventure,” he shares.
Survival of the Fittest in the Cosmos
STARNAUT introduces players to a thrilling 3D action universe with a unique roguelike twist. As the sole survivor of an unspecified cosmic catastrophe, players will don the spacesuit of the STARNAUT, facing hordes of enemies spawned from the depths of the multiverse. Your mission? Survive, conquer, and launch the Omega Rocket to escape the endless onslaught.
Gather Resources, Upgrade, and Battle On
Early gameplay revolves around a frantic race against time and oxygen depletion. Players must scavenge for coins and fend off enemies to secure their passage to the next level by launching the Omega Rocket. Assistance comes in the form of Shopnaut, a loyal companion who provides a critical lifeline through weapons and upgrades. However, the stakes are high, as each new level resets your progress, challenging players to adapt and strategize anew.
A Universe Brimming with Potential
STARNAUT is not just about survival; it’s about discovery and mastery. With eight distinct weapons at your disposal and the chance to enhance your suit and arsenal, the game offers a deep, engaging system for players to explore. Coupled with interactive companions and multiple game modes, including a Sniper mode, STARNAUT aims to deliver a rich, multifaceted experience across five expansive levels—and perhaps even beyond.
Prepare to embark on a journey like no other this Valentine’s Day, as STARNAUT sets its sights on Steam Early Access. Will you rise to the challenge and claim your place among the stars?
