BroodStar News

Hi everyone!

We've been a bit silent lately, so I wanted to share a few things of what's to be expected in future updates.

First of all, the game will be available on other platforms in the near(ish) future, notably Switch and Xbox.
With their release the game will also have a new Global Cross-platform Leaderboard!

Other than that we are working hard on polishing up all the graphical assets of the game, so expect some new amazing pixel work coming up!

Finally, the game will receive a new super boss - restricted to Hard difficulty and it might be a reference to something. :)

Other notable things are:
-Many new Ship Skins to choose from.
-A couple new gameplay options, including Autofire.
-Some balance adjustments and fixes.
-Engine upgrade



Things not just yet coming with the next update, but confirmed:
Loadout system and polished UI/Menus


And that's it for now, thank you everyone for still supporting and enjoying the game!

Hi everyone!

We're back with a few spooky Halloween themed additions to the game.
Including a new Challenge mode with new themed and adjusted enemies, modules and cosmetic rewards if you can beat it!


Apart from that the update will include several minor bug fixes and some adjustments to the item appearance rates, that should hopefully help the somewhat less seen modules to be more frequent.

The update will go live on the 25th of October, until then, we'll see just how much additional content we can squeeze in!
