Star Scum Demo

Star Scum is a deckbuilding strategy game that fuses card-battling with tight turn-based tactics where every move matters. Build your deck and ship as you travel across dangerous space in the roguelike mode or build custom decks and battle other players online or practice against an AI opponent.

<h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Tactical PvP Deckbuilder!</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Star Scum fuses traditional deckbuilding with tight turn-based tactics gameplay where every move matters. It is designed from the ground up as a symmetrical PvP game that can be played against other players, but its central feature is a singleplayer roguelike run where you play against procedurally generated decks controlled by a smart human-like AI.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/4ae9ec8edb3ceccba121e0038b989de2.poster.avif?t=1761374017" width=794 height=446 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/4ae9ec8edb3ceccba121e0038b989de2.webm?t=1761374017" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/4ae9ec8edb3ceccba121e0038b989de2.mp4?t=1761374017" type="video/mp4"></video></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Command Your Cards!</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >In Star Scum, building your deck is just the beginning! When you play cards in battle, they become tactical units and ship equipment that you must command every turn across two battling ships. Playing cards and commanding your ship and crew both use the same precious resource: command points, and you must make difficult decisions about how to spend them every turn.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/90b3991dae8ff21a2b2d0285e5b1c3bb.avif?t=1761374017" data-big-src=https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras_big/90b3991dae8ff21a2b2d0285e5b1c3bb.avif?t=1761374017 width=800 height=400 /></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Build Your Ship!</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >In addition to your deck of cards, you are also building your ship. The tiles of your ship define your stats, like health, amount of command points per turn and how much energy the ship can generate. In the singleplayer roguelike run, you can buy upgrades to your ship or buy entirely new ships and when playing in PvP mode against other players or AI, you can choose from any ship that you have discovered in singleplayer.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/52b7bfa49630740fdb7f99d8301c6680.avif?t=1761374017" data-big-src=https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras_big/52b7bfa49630740fdb7f99d8301c6680.avif?t=1761374017 width=800 height=400 /></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Hundreds Of Unique Cards!</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Almost every one of the hundreds of cards in the game has a unique special that provides countless synergies with your build. While the singleplayer run provides some starter decks that center around a theme, you are never limited to a specific set of cards. And in multiplayer and custom AI battles, you can build your deck from any of the cards you have discovered.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras/4c5948a6c335aa9ad82c47166ba1675a.avif?t=1761374017" data-big-src=https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2886700/extras_big/4c5948a6c335aa9ad82c47166ba1675a.avif?t=1761374017 width=800 height=400 /></span></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Many Ways To Play!</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Build your deck from the cards of your opponents as you travel across the map in the singleplayer run. Cards you discover in the singleplayer run are permanently unlocked for you to use in custom decks that you can take against other players online or in custom local battles against the game AI.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >The game is built as a flexible card engine with mods and updates in mind that allows for easy creation of community-driven content.  We can't wait to see what new ways to play the community discovers!</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p>
