Targem Games is taking the Star Conflict universe in a new direction with Star Conflict: Burrownauts, an action roguelite that combines resource mining and exploration with fast-paced bullet-heaven combat. Players will venture inside ancient planetoids in search of valuable resources before returning to defend their base against waves of hostile enemies.
Star Conflict: Burrownauts is built around the contrast between relatively peaceful mining expeditions and increasingly dangerous battles. Players will explore distant planetoids, uncover rare resources and improve their ship, while also dealing with enemies that can threaten their base and put their hard-earned loot at risk.
The game is set in a future where humanity has long since abandoned Earth in search of new worlds to inhabit. With survival across the galaxy dependent on resources gathered from distant planetoids, players take on the role of a space miner tasked with venturing into dangerous territory.
Each expedition involves searching for valuable deposits and collecting resources that can be used to improve the player’s ship and prepare for more challenging missions. Players will also need to keep their ship’s systems in working order while fighting off waves of space bandits and other threats encountered during their expeditions.
The Star Conflict universe also plays a role in the new game, with familiar ships, technologies and other elements appearing alongside the mining-focused gameplay. The expeditions will also lead players toward traces of lost civilizations hidden within the ancient planetoids.
