About Stardust Vanguards

Get your friends and bust out the controllers, STARDUST VANGUARDS is a local four-player dueling game combining arcade-style battling with the ability to summon your own NPC army as support!

Each battle is unique with the game's random event system, forcing players to respond to dozens of potential surprise attacks by computer-controlled space pirates. The pirates can even win the whole battle themselves so perhaps a temporary truce is in order? STARDUST VANGUARDS brings fast-paced dueling, a dash of strategy, and plenty of bullets to competitive couch-multiplayer fans.

Features

  • Lightning-fast local (shared screen) multiplayer dueling that rewards precision
  • Summon reinforcements as you earn reinforcement points (RP) by taking out enemies
  • Random event system with dozens of NPC space pirate scenarios. Trivial line attacks, pincer tactics, transport convoys, mercenary squads, fleet blitzkriegs, and more!
  • Space pirates are gunning to win the battle themselves. Will you team up with your rivals to stop them or use the moment to your advantage?
  • Unlock 13 different battlefields each offering unique offensive and defensive strategies
  • Deathmatch, Team Battles, Conquest (King of the Hill), and Space Ball Mode (soccer style capture the flag)
  • Cooperative Mode for 1 to 4 players with shared lives across three different difficulties and an endurance mode through all three
  • Custom Deathmatch options let you build your perfect battle. Infinite ammo, swords only, reinforcement variables, pirate event regularity, and more!
  • Rocking in-game soundtrack

Note:


STARDUST VANGUARDS is a local multiplayer game (with no online functionality) and is recommended to be played with 4 Microsoft Xbox 360 controllers. The keyboard can alternatively be used as an input for one player.

[h1] Ballsy game with mechs and super quick battle between galaxies. Good for coop. Otherwise skip. Only survival mode is available for single player. Deflect bullets and shoot everything that is moving! Under $1 it's ok. [/h1]

Stardust Vanguards is an arcade multiplayer action game developed and published by Zanrai Interactive that combines fast arena combat, strategic decision-making, and chaotic space warfare into an experience designed primarily around competitive and cooperative play. Rather than building itself around cinematic storytelling or large progression systems, the game focuses on immediate action and replayable multiplayer battles where skill, timing, and adaptability determine success. It captures the energy of classic local multiplayer games while introducing unique mechanics that prevent battles from becoming predictable. The game takes place in a futuristic setting where elite space fighters known as Vanguards battle across cosmic arenas while surviving constant interference from dangerous pirate fleets. This design decision becomes one of the title’s defining strengths because matches rarely unfold in straightforward ways. Players are not only competing against each other but also reacting to outside threats capable of changing momentum instantly. One moment may revolve around a direct duel between rivals while the next forces everyone to survive unexpected pirate attacks disrupting …

Fun game but has some bugs that make playing it a bit wonky and I cant handle the keyboard controls. If I could change the keybinds, I probably wouldn't complain. Also its just 4 bucks off sale so idk.
