Starforge Reborn

You are the last salvager.
Pilot your ship into hostile sectors, recover what others left behind, and fight your way back to the Forge before everything is lost.
Starforge Reborn is a gritty top-down 2D action roguelite built around high-pressure combat, salvage-driven progression, permanent upgrades, and difficult risk-reward decisions.
Push deeper into collapsing space, extract with your haul, and turn every successful run into lasting power.
FIGHT, SALVAGE, UPGRADE, PUSH DEEPER
Every run is a choice between survival and greed.
Battle through increasingly dangerous hostile sectors

Recover Crystals, Starforge Coins, and Starforge Holo Coins

Extract early to secure your haul

Push deeper for greater rewards and greater danger

Turn successful runs into permanent progression

Risk losing valuable resources when a run goes wrong

The longer you remain in a sector, the more dangerous it becomes.
BUILD FROM THE FORGE
The Forge is your mobile base of operations and the heart of your long-term progression.
Use recovered resources to:
Unlock and rebuild new ships

Construct and upgrade support drones

Develop new projectile types

Improve permanent Forge systems

Strengthen future runs through lasting upgrades

Prepare for increasingly dangerous sectors and bosses

Your progress does not end when a single run does.
EIGHT PLAYABLE SHIPS
Begin with the adaptable Vanguard and unlock seven additional ships through progression.
Each ship is designed around a distinct combat speciality, including:
Armour and survivability

Extreme fire rate

Life steal and recovery

High movement speed

Heavy projectile damage

Passive regeneration

Knockback resistance

Endgame versatility

Upgrade individual ships, develop their strengths, and choose the vessel that best supports your preferred playstyle.
TWENTY SUPPORT DRONES
Your ship is only one part of your build.
Construct, restore, and upgrade support drones that can provide:
Additional offensive pressure

Crowd control

Defensive support

Resource farming

Utility effects

Focused boss damage

Different combinations of ships, drones, projectiles, and permanent upgrades can dramatically change the way each run plays.
THIRTY DISTINCT ENEMY TYPES
Face 30 enemy types, each designed to create a different form of pressure.
Enemies may:
Rush the player

Attack from range

Control movement space

Deploy mines or hazards

Support nearby enemies

Drain resources or health

Split, transform, or become more dangerous over time

Later enemies are not simply stronger versions of earlier opponents. New combinations are designed to force movement, target prioritisation, and constant adaptation.
FIFTEEN BOSSES — EACH WITH AN AWAKENED VARIATION
Challenge 15 major bosses, each with its own attacks, mechanics, and combat identity.
Every boss also has an Awakened variation, introducing more dangerous behaviour, altered attack patterns, and a greater test of your build.
Bosses are designed as major skill and progression checks rather than ordinary enemies with larger health bars.
BOSS FIGHTS ON YOUR TERMS
Bosses are not presented as a simple linear checklist.
Challenge bosses when you feel prepared

Return later with a stronger ship and upgraded loadout

Hunt particular bosses for rare rewards and progression

Learn their attacks before confronting their Awakened variations

Complete the main journey without defeating every optional boss

Some of the game’s most valuable rewards are protected by threats you must actively choose to confront.
CAMPAIGN
Campaign is a focused single-player experience built around exploration, salvage, combat, and permanent progression.
Travel through hostile sectors, recover valuable resources, and return to the Forge before your ship is destroyed.
Explore increasingly dangerous sectors

Collect Crystals, Starforge Coins, and Starforge Holo Coins

Decide when to extract and secure your resources

Unlock ships, drones, projectiles, and Forge upgrades

Challenge bosses when you feel prepared

Carry permanent progression into future runs

Continue into New Game Plus after completing the Campaign

Campaign is designed exclusively for one player.
SURVIVAL MODE
Survival Mode is a separate solo challenge built around escalating enemy waves, temporary card upgrades, milestone rewards, and long-term progression.
Face increasingly dangerous waves

Earn card selections based on enemies defeated

Adapt your build between waves

Encounter milestone and boss waves

Unlock Survival achievements

Earn permanent-card progression

Combine ships, drones, projectiles, and combat specialities

Continue until your run is finally overwhelmed

Survival rewards experimentation and forces you to build around what each run gives you.
TWO DISTINCT WAYS TO PLAY
SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN
Explore hostile sectors, recover salvage, build permanent progression through the Forge, and confront bosses on your own terms.
SOLO SURVIVAL
Endure escalating waves, adapt through temporary card rewards, defeat milestone bosses, and attempt to push further with every run.
Progress earned through both modes can open additional possibilities throughout the game.
NEW GAME PLUS
Completing the Campaign is not the end.
Enter New Game Plus with your existing progression and face greater pressure, stronger opposition, and new reasons to continue developing your ships, drones, projectiles, and Forge systems.

Not every system is revealed immediately.
Some mechanics, rewards, progression routes, and hidden features are intended to be discovered by players who experiment, explore, and pay attention.
