Fight. Salvage. Upgrade. Push Deeper.

STARFORGE REBORN

Starforge Reborn launches August 24th, 2026 on Steam for £9.99/$9.99.

Regional Steam pricing applies.

CAMPAIGN

A focused single-player journey through hostile sectors.

YOU ARE THE LAST SALVAGER

Pilot your ship into hostile sectors, recover what others left behind, and fight your way back to the Forge before everything is lost.

Starforge Reborn is a gritty top-down 2D action roguelite built around high-pressure space combat, salvage-driven progression, permanent upgrades, and difficult risk-reward decisions.

Every expedition forces you to choose between survival and greed. Extract early and secure what you have recovered, or remain in the sector and risk everything for greater rewards.

The longer you stay, the more dangerous the sector becomes.

SURVIVAL MODE

Endure escalating waves and adapt your build.

8 SHIPS

Unlock ships built for speed, defence, damage and more.

FIGHT, SALVAGE, EXTRACT

Hostile sectors are filled with enemies, hazards, resources, and optional threats.

During each run, you will:

  • Battle increasingly dangerous enemy formations

  • Recover Crystals, Starforge Coins, and Starforge Holo Coins

  • Search for valuable salvage and progression resources

  • Decide when to return to the Forge

  • Push deeper for greater rewards

  • Risk losing resources when a run goes wrong

  • Adapt your loadout to the enemies and bosses ahead

A successful extraction strengthens every run that follows.

15 BOSSES

Every major boss has an Awakened Variation.

PROJECTILE BUILDS

Customize your firepower and adapt to any threat.

INSIDE THE FORGE

SUPPORT DRONES

Equip drones that enhance, protect and destroy.

UPGRADEABLE SHIPS

Find your playstyle with unique ship designs.

SURVIVAL LOADOUTS

Mix weapons, abilities and ships to survive longer.

UPGRADE YOUR FORGE

Your forge is your Primary Life line.

BUILD FROM THE FORGE

The Forge is your mobile base of operations and the centre of your long-term progression.

Resources recovered during your expeditions can be used to:

  • Unlock and rebuild new ships

  • Construct and improve support drones

  • Develop new projectile types

  • Upgrade permanent Forge systems

  • Strengthen future combat builds

  • Prepare for more dangerous sectors

  • Gain access to new progression routes

Your progress does not disappear when a single run ends. Every successful return to the Forge creates new possibilities.

UNLOCK. UPGRADE. ADAPT. SURVIVE.

The Forge is your path to power.

Use salvaged resources to permanently upgrade your projectiles, ships, drones and Forge systems.

Every upgrade makes you stronger, every choice shapes your survival.

BUILD FROM THE FORGE

TWENTY SUPPORT DRONES

Your ship is only one part of your combat build.

Construct, restore, and upgrade support drones that can provide:

  • Additional offensive pressure

  • Focused boss damage

  • Crowd control

  • Defensive support

  • Resource collection

  • Utility effects

  • Greater control over enemy formations

Ships, drones, projectile types, abilities, and permanent upgrades can be combined in different ways to create specialised builds.

A defensive ship can be supported by aggressive drones. A high-damage vessel can compensate for its weaknesses through recovery or protection. A rapid-fire build can focus on clearing enemy waves, while another setup may be designed specifically for bosses.

EIGHT PLAYABLE SHIPS

Begin with the adaptable Vanguard and unlock seven additional ships through progression.

Each ship is built around a distinct combat speciality, including:

  • Armour and survivability

  • Extreme fire rate

  • Life steal and health recovery

  • High movement speed

  • Heavy projectile damage

  • Passive regeneration

  • Knockback resistance

  • Endgame versatility

    Upgrade each ship individually, develop its strengths, and choose the vessel that best supports your preferred approach.

    One ship may survive through armour. Another may rely on speed, overwhelming firepower, regeneration, or aggressive life steal.

    The right choice depends on the sector, the boss, and the build you intend to create.

Learn attack patterns. Choose when to fight bosses.

Push deeper into the unknown for greater rewards.

THIRTY DISTINCT ENEMY TYPES

Face 30 enemy types, each designed to create a different kind of pressure.

Enemies may:

  • Rush directly towards your ship

  • Attack from long range

  • Control movement space

  • Deploy mines and environmental hazards

  • Support nearby enemies

  • Drain health or resources

  • Split into additional threats

  • Transform during combat

  • Become more dangerous over time

Later sectors do not simply increase enemy health and damage. New combinations force you to move, prioritise targets, manage space, and constantly adapt.

An enemy that appears manageable alone may become far more dangerous when supported by ranged attackers, hazards, or enemies designed to restrict movement.

New Game Plus

New Map, New Boss and Awakened interactions.

FIFTEEN BOSSES

Challenge 15 major bosses, each with its own attacks, mechanics, movement patterns, and combat identity.

Bosses are designed as major skill and progression checks rather than ordinary enemies with larger health bars.

Each boss also has an Awakened variation, introducing more dangerous behaviour and a greater test of your build.

You will need to:

  • Learn attack patterns

  • Recognise dangerous phases

  • Adapt your movement

  • Choose the right ship and loadout

  • Decide when your build is strong enough

  • Prepare for more aggressive Awakened variations

SURVIVAL MODE

Survival Mode is a separate solo challenge built around escalating enemy waves, temporary card upgrades, milestone rewards, and long-term progression.

During Survival Mode, you will:

  • Face increasingly dangerous waves

  • Earn card selections based on enemies defeated

  • Adapt your build between waves

  • Encounter milestone and boss waves

  • Unlock Survival achievements
