Starlight Alliance is launching simultaneously on Steam and Switch next Wednesday!
Created by Bernhard Politsch of origamihero games – who recently released Heart Chain Kitty on Switch – Starlight Alliance is a third-person RPG featuring frantic “bullet hell†style action and an endearing, haunting narrative about a future Earth enshrouded in darkness.
Welcome to the future – where everything is automated, recycling is at 99.9% efficiency, and Earth is at its peak. Humans and aliens now live side-by-side in sky cities far above the planet’s inhospitable surface.
It all could have been perfect … but it wasn’t meant to last.
Mysteriously, the automated systems started to fail, the drone networks began to act – and nobody knows quite why. Two strangers, Lea and Cyris, each experience these system failures in two different ways and find themselves brought together by unforeseen circumstances. As a team, they’ll soon uncover terrible secrets on the Earth’s surface and find a chance at salvation … somewhere in the cold grasp of space!
In Starlight Alliance, you can opt to shoot your troubles away … or punch them! You can avoid bullets by repelling them with the shield system– or just, you know, punch a bot really hard in the face. Whatever works, right?
But don’t think that combat can solve everything. Quite the opposite, actually: Getting through forsaken alien cities or Earth’s wasteland will require some thinking, crafting, and exploration. Consider your choices carefully – and you just might live to see the end of the story.
