BEFORE YOUR FIRST RUN

Questions & answers

A few things to know before your first run.

What kind of game is Starcore Survivor?

A single-player, top-down sci-fi arena survival roguelite. Your weapons attack automatically while you handle movement, collect materials, and choose weapons and upgrades between waves.

Is there multiplayer or co-op?

Starcore Survivor is currently a single-player game. No multiplayer or co-op mode is promised here.

What's in the free demo?

One Gate Deck map, one playable core, six starting weapons, and seven waves at the starting difficulty. The last wave features an elite encounter. Buy, merge, and upgrade weapons between waves.

Where can I play? Do I need to buy the full game?

Visit the Steam store page and download the demo. You don't need to buy the full game to play. Follow Steam's download and installation process.

Which platforms and languages are supported?

The full game's Steam store lists Windows and macOS, with English, Chinese, and other interface languages. Check Steam for the demo's current downloadable platforms, full language list, and system requirements.

Does demo progress carry over?

The demo uses a separate local save. Transfer to the full game is not promised. Local demo achievement feedback is not the same as unlocking the full game's Steam achievements.

When will the full game release, and what will it cost?

The full game is currently listed as Coming soon on Steam. Check Steam announcements for confirmed release and pricing information. You can wishlist it now.

How does the full game differ from the demo?

The demo is a seven-wave slice. The full game's store description includes 20-wave runs, additional core and map rules, weapon evolution, relics, bosses, and higher Danger levels. Those are not all part of the demo.

How can I send feedback?

Post in the Steam discussions with your operating system, interface language, wave number, and reproduction steps. Screenshots help. We also welcome feedback on builds, readability, and how the game feels to play.
