Strategy Deckbuilder LONESTAR First Demo Reveal on Steam

Brace yourselves for an exceptional cosmic voyage!
Developer Math Tide and publisher Thermite Games unveil today their up-coming indie title LONESTAR, a revolutionary strategic roguelike deckbuilding game in the vast expanse of space. With its demanding strategic depth and mind-bending gameplay, LONESTAR promises to redefine the gaming experience and send players on an interstellar adventure that will test their wits to the limit.


In LONESTAR, you step into the boots of a fearless bounty hunter navigating the boundless universe to track down elusive criminals scattered across the cosmic tapestry. Your spaceship is your fortress, and your cunning is your greatest asset. As you traverse the stars, you'll confront a multitude of challenges, outsmart lawbreakers, and make decisions that will shape your destiny among the stars.

At the core of LONESTAR lies a dynamic gameplay system that seamlessly melds strategy with roguelike deckbuilding elements. Your spaceship doubles as your battleground, and your mission is to equip it with an array of formidable units, each endowed with unique abilities and strengths. To power your arsenal, you'll harness Energy Resources represented by cards of varying colors (rarities), and numerical values.

Engage in thrilling shockwave battles where both you and your adversaries vie to unleash maximum damage. Strategic acumen comes to the fore as you meticulously plan your moves in each turn. Should your card's value surpass that of your opponent's, the damage inflicted equals the difference. However, should fortune favor your adversary, prepare to withstand damage in return.

As you progress through LONESTAR, your path will lead you to unlock a diverse cast of pilots, each wielding unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. Select your pilot with care, adapt your strategy, and harness their strengths to conquer the challenges the universe has to offer.

With every triumphant battle, you will amass vital resources and ascend to new heights. Your spaceship's capabilities will evolve, and your strategies will mature as you navigate the universe's challenges. Adapt, endure, and rise as a legendary bounty hunter of the cosmos. And following each hard-fought victory, you'll embark on a vacation filled with diverse events. These events may yield precious resources, coveted treasures, Star Coins (the in-game currency), or aid in the recovery of your spaceship. Use these hard-earned rewards judiciously to strengthen your arsenal and brace yourself for the trials that lie ahead.

Brace yourself for a journey across the cosmos, when the game takes flight on Steam, as you seek out the universe's most elusive fugitives and ascend to become the ultimate space-faring bounty hunter.
