About Souls of White Star
Souls of White Star combines the key elements of DBG, such as card collection and deck building, with tactical gameplay features such as grid-based movement, attack range, terrain elements, and more. 
The game's 3 main factions , 10 majors, 20 chronoweapons, and over 700 cards and 150 spacecrafts, ensure ample replayability.In terms of card collection, this game has abandoned the traditional single-card acquisition model found in other card games. Here, players can obtain cards through means such as winning battles, building bases, copying enemy decks, and completing exploration events. They can also delete cards through means such as battle rewards, technology upgrades, and event exploration. This allows players to quickly build their card decks, much faster than in similar games.
The game has optimized the card-drawing system for unlucky players. In this game, players need to spend resources to draw cards, but playing a card does not require any cost. By spending different amounts of resources, players can draw white, blue, purple, and gold cards, effectively avoiding situations where they cannot draw the cards they need and reducing the risk of early defeat.
During battles, players can use the game's unique flip Cards system to convert surplus or unwanted cards into action points for specific units, enabling greater flexibility and preventing the problem of being stuck with unusable cards in hand. 
The game features a story-driven campaign mode and a gameplay-focused standard mode. At the initial release of the game's early access version, there were a total of four chapters. It is expected that upon the official release, there will be a total of twelve chapters.
During the game, every player will always have their own unique ideas. In order to make it easier for players to implement their ideas, we have already supported the workshop before the game was released!What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Think Slay the Spire on hex gameplay maps where some of your skills spawn ships, move and fight with those and some use direct skills. Your base, "Pylon", needs to survive and it keeps the damage it takes during the fights. You've a "metagame" on the star map where you build some upgrades and decide your route, which isn't linear path, but instead a web. Occasionally you get some guaranteed extra rewards if you take certain event RIGHT NOW. +Player choice in emergent gameplay setting +Audio is fantastic +Writing isn't half bad either +Functional gameplay +Emergent gameplay -Abandoned by the devs (...but it's v0.99) -UX/UI could use some work (not going to happen) on the card reinforcement and trait descriptions. Keywords aren't necessarily explained through some of the menus at all. = Recommended.1 found this helpful

很久以前还有点期待，不过最后还是符合了我对国产EA的刻板印象1 found this helpful
Souls of White Star is an ambitious and intricately designed fusion of deck-building, tactical strategy, and science fiction that dares to push the boundaries of its genre. Developed by Souls of Star Game Lab and published by IndieArk, the game stands as an impressive experiment in combining systems that rarely coexist so harmoniously. Set in a distant galaxy engulfed in interstellar warfare, it presents a world where technological evolution, military might, and strategic foresight intertwine. Every move, every card, and every decision carries weight, creating a complex and methodical experience that rewards patience and mastery. For players who thrive on deep, layered systems, Souls of White Star offers an intricate playground of possibilities. At its core, the game revolves around a unique blend of deck-building and tactical wargaming. Players command fleets across star systems, deploying spacecraft and using cards to perform actions, trigger abilities, and manipulate the flow of battle. Unlike traditional card games where random draws dominate the experience, Souls of White Star introduces a dual-sided card system that adds strategic depth. Each card can be used in multiple way…
