13 itemsAbout the Game
As Bea prepares to become the 7th Starbug Trooper, the ceremony is interrupted by an attack. The 4 Horseflies of the Apocalypse return after years of absence. Bea must unite all the Starbug Troopers to put an end to the schemes of Lies, Famine, Plague, and Conquest.
AN ORIGINAL BLEND OF GENRES
Follow the adventures of Bea and the other Starbug Troopers in a humorous journey that mixes strategy and action. Outsmart your opponent by positioning your troops to your advantage and gain the upper hand. Or perhaps you'd prefer to outpace them, using your reflexes and agility to destroy all their ships.
A STRATEGY BASED ON SUPPORT
Increase your chances of victory in combat : position your troops relative to each other to gain greater support than your opponent and stack the odds in your favor during battle.
MINI SHIPS, MAXI COMBAT
Explore environments at the scale of an insect. Carve your way through tall grass, navigate upstream rivers, or delve into a mysterious cavern in search of your opponents, destroying their ships before they find you.
RECRUIT YOUR TROOPS FROM 7 UNIQUE SHIP TYPES
Seven unique insect-ships are available. Fighter, healer, bomber... Each ship has its own role and unique abilities. It’s up to you to recruit the right ships to lead you to victory.
