Star Renegades Review – Rogue-Lite Experience that Keeps On Giving

I’ll come right out and say it. Star Renegades is a rogue-lite, run-based game in the style of some gritty Saturday morning cartoon. With that out of the way, you should be good to decide on whether or not this game is for you. However, I’d be remiss to not point out a lot more. In fact, there’s a lot going on with Star Renegades, so if your interest is piqued, let’s dive in.

[...]

Star Renegades is a love letter to tactical RPG fans who have been craving a rogue-lite experience that keeps on giving. While not quite at the mastery of Into the Breach in terms of depth, Star Renegades has enough to be excited about.

The Good

• Fantastic animation and art style
• Quippy dialogue
• Challenging battle system
• Scales from still-learning to full on pilot

The Bad

• Randomization can leave party ill-equipped
• Not a lot of mechanical depth
• Randomization can unfairly spike the difficulty

Score: 85/100
