Starshard Brigands is coming to PC via Steam in 2027

by

Zomia Studio has announced their upcoming indie game, Starshard Brigands, and created a Steam page for it. This first-person dungeon crawler is currently planned for release in 2027.

This game lets you fully customize your character and features randomly generated equipment. You’ll also experience in-depth interactions with different groups and other adventurers. While exploring dungeons, you can choose to cooperate with or fight other parties you encounter. Building relationships with various factions is also possible – by gifting them treasures, you can unlock special perks and rewards.

The game’s creator, a solo developer, announced it was built using RPG Maker MZ in a recent press release. The game’s Steam page also discloses that AI tools were used to create some of its visual elements, but the developer clarifies that these elements were then manually refined and edited.

I’m so excited! I just found the official screenshots and details for Starshard Brigands! And the best part? It’s coming out in both Japanese and English, which is awesome!

Starshard Brigands screenshots
















Forge your gear, feast at the tavern, take up the guild’s quests.

Plunge into the abyss, seize its treasures, slay the masters that lurk within.

Every relic you claim — offer it to the factions, or keep it as your own arsenal.

Alliances forged, grudges earned, rivals breathing down your neck.

A shifting power map, redrawn by your every choice.

Turn it all into strength, and descend even deeper——

Your Choices Determine Friend and Foe —— Dynamic Agency

  • With Relic Offerings, you can choose to donate valuable treasures to gain favor with different groups, or hold onto them to increase your own strength. Your decision impacts both the story and what you earn.

  • You’ll encounter other groups in the dungeon who are pursuing their own goals. When your paths cross, unpredictable things can happen.

  • As you become more involved with a faction, they’ll reward you with better benefits, like unique items, improvements to their base, and increased power.

Read the Battle, Turn the Tide —— Tactical Command Battle

  • Use enemy vulnerabilities to create openings, allowing your allies to quickly attack and overwhelm them, leaving the enemy defenseless.

  • Successfully block an attack with precise timing to avoid damage, then quickly launch a powerful counterattack.

  • The core gameplay loop involves exploring dungeons to collect materials, then returning to your base to create and improve your equipment. This prepares you to venture back into the dungeons even more powerful.

Push Past Your Limits —— Build & Loot

  • Create a character without limits! Combine different races, abilities, looks, weapons, and histories to build a unique playstyle – there are no classes to hold you back, so you can create exactly what you want.

  • Customize your character with a huge, flexible skill tree. Create unique builds that aren’t limited by traditional class roles, and forge your own path to power.

  • Equipment always has unique abilities, meaning no two items are exactly alike—even identical weapons can function in different ways.
