About the Game

Star Rising is a dungeon crawling, spatial-deck building, node traversing, mashup.

You play as a nameless figure, adorned with an irremovable mask and an inescapable fate. The world around you has fallen to Ruin countless times over. You’ve stood aside powerless to stop it; ready to be swallowed by dusk and the darkness it brings. This time is different - this time the light will shine.

This game aims to deliver a dungeon crawler with an emphasis on deck building. We offer the following to the player:

  • 1. Unique 2D deck building.  Collected cards are placed in a 2D grid by the player.

  • 2. Node-graph traversal and combat

  • 3. Interesting setting

  • 4. Unique art style
