About this gameFull description from Steam
Forge a single starcraft into a fleet-leveling warship through the combination of salvaged weaponry and strategy-defining augmentations in this sci-fi survivors game! Weave through asteroid fields, aid galactic denizens, and use collected resources from each failed expedition to become permanently stronger! Your goal is survival; your legacy is inevitable. Features Intense Bullet-Heaven Combat - Obliterate endless swarms of combatants on your journey to challenge the enemy flagship! Evade devastating bombardments with unique movement abilities and return fire automatically or manually. Customizable Starcraft - Master 9 ships, each with distinct starting armaments and combat styles. Customize your ship's systems to fine-tune your strategy with unlockable alternate loadouts! Weapon and Ship Augmentation - Forge endless builds with 16 core weapons and over 190 augments and enhancements to empower your arsenal! Galactic Navigation - Navigate a galaxy that changes every expedition—traverse sectors with treacherous, gameplay-altering conditions to complete missions that are no less dangerous. Meta Progression - Exchange salvaged resources for permanent enhancements, new starcraft, and more to aid you in future runs! Dynamic Narrative Events - Gamble for glory across 30+ unique encounters. Measured risks could reap vital rewards or fatal consequences. Master unique starcraft across three classes: nimble frigates, versatile cruisers, and titanic battleships. All ships—through their special augments, weapons, and movement abilities—lend themselves to unique playstyles and combat specializations. Discover over 100 augments and enhancements to create game-breaking synergies and redefine your strategy each expedition! Transform your hull with augments like Pulsing Plating, enabling your ship to release a forceful burst of energy when sustaining damage, or deploy Proximity Mines to eliminate pursuing fighters. Enhance your combat prowess with Smart Rounds, ammunition that ricochets between targets, or Nuclear Warheads, radioactive payloads that leave a damaging, lingering cloud in their wake! Your Starmap is a web of opportunity and peril. Choose your path through hazardous sectors and encounter space stations in need of reinforcements, sectors dotted with gravitational wells, and derelict ships with priceless data in need of salvaging. Completing these missions, as well as random secondary objectives, will earn you rewards crucial to your survival. Death is not the end. Battlefield wreckage, recovered data, and alien technologies salvaged from your failed expeditions can be exchanged for powerful, permanent upgrades to your arsenal! Early Development Disclaimer Starforged Legacy is currently in early development. The features we currently have and those planned for the future may change as we gather feedback from our community. You can expect to see these changes reflected here as they occur.
