Rogue Star Rescue

Rogue Star Rescue combines bullet hell shooting with roguelite and tower defense elements. You fight through a nonlinear story, choosing a path across the galaxy and making decisions that shape its fate. The Rogue Star is on a collision course with the galaxy, and a team of fighters has assembled to stop it.

Choose your path

Explore more than 10 planets, deciding which ones to visit and whom to rescue. Your choices lead to dozens of possible outcomes: the Rogue Star might destroy the galaxy, be reflected into the enemy's galaxy, fall into a black hole or travel through a galactic wormhole, among other possibilities. The story includes interactive, humorous dialogue, including in single-player, and rescued teammates fight alongside you.

Fight with traps and weapons

As you explore each planet, gather traps and resources to face a mini-boss and waves of minions at the end of each level. Traps can slow, block, push, spike, burn, freeze or shoot enemies, and you can upgrade them. Managing your trap inventory and use is important, especially in later levels.

You can choose from elite team members with distinct special abilities and personal reasons to save their home planets. Unlock new characters by achieving specific outcomes. The game also includes hundreds of unlockable items, a range of guns from advanced space weapons to historical firearms, grenades, and upgradeable fighting companions, including dragons.

Progress and difficulty

A persistent leveling system lets you earn attribute points as you advance. Spend them on strength, speed, health, traps and luck; fighting earns experience and makes your character stronger.

Choose from three difficulty modes: Wimpy, Normal and Insane.

Co-op

Online co-op supports up to four players, who can progress together and uncover the galaxy's secrets. The game also has exclusive multiplayer content. Couch co-op supports up to two players sharing a screen and does not require an internet connection.
