About the Game

Starium is an open-world action RPG / bullet-hell hybrid set in the collapsing galaxy of Talara, where dying stars fuel a brutal war for survival. Build your hero, forge powerful gear, and carve your destiny through branching stories and multiple endings.

Will you become a savior, an outlaw, or something far more dangerous?

  • Relentless Bullet Hell Combat: Dodge, weave, and unleash chaos in fast-paced top-down battles.

  • 25+ Epic Boss Fights: Face off against towering demons, twisted monstrosities, ruthless war generals, and sinister corporate agents.

  • 60+ Legendary Armor Pieces: Rain exploding bullets, bend space with black holes, channel raw magic, or fuse it all into one unstoppable build.

  • Deep Character Creation: Choose your race, criminality or military service, personality traits, and even wild flaws like vampirism.

  • Branching Stories & Multiple Endings: Forge your own path with branching dialogue, choice-filled moments and multiple endings. 

  • A Living, Dying World: Explore Rhalara, a hostile frontier crawling with mutant rats, outlaws, and horrifying aliens.

  • Challenge for Every Player: From a chill story mode to the merciless gauntlet of Master difficulty.

  • Arsenal of 35+ Weapons & Spells: Guns, staffs, and sorcery. 

  • Three Unique Skill Trees: Master Cosmic Sorcery, embrace the stealth and steel of the Shadow Warrior, or bend minds with the Word Weaver.

The galaxy of Talara is a realm of limitless possibilities and dire consequences. At its core lies ‘Starium’, a rare fuel extracted from dying stars, fueling both progress and destruction. As you arrive in this volatile frontier, you’ll uncover peril, opportunity, and moral dilemmas at every turn.

Will you rise as a savior, seize power as an opportunist, or carve out your own destiny among the stars?

Choose your approach:

  • Become an honorable hero, a stealthy infiltrator, a peaceful negotiator, or a relentless force of destruction.

  • Shape your story through your choices, reputation, and relationships.

  • Leave your mark on a galaxy torn between hope and ruin.
