Starshard Brigands is coming to PC via Steam in 2027
Zomia Studio has set up a Steam page for Starshard Brigands. This indie first-person view dungeon crawler game is slated to be available in 2027.
This game's key points include not only a free-form character creation system and random equipment affixes, but also detailed interactions with other factions and parties. The player can encounter other parties inside dungeons and either interact with or even attack them. They can also build relationships with specific factions by offering treasures to receive access to exclusive bonuses in return.
In the Japanese press release, the one-person studio revealed that this game is made with RPG Maker MZ. However, the Steam page also includes an admission of AI-generation tool usage in several assets, though the developer also claimed to have manually edited the resulting assets.
Find the official screenshots and descriptions for Starshard Brigands right below. The game will be available in Japanese and English.
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
Relic Offerings: Surrender your treasures to earn a faction's trust — or keep them hidden and turn them into power. Your call shapes the story and the rewards.
Rival Party Encounters: Other parties roam the dungeon with their own agendas. Cross paths with them, and anything can happen.
Faction Hub Expansion: The more you contribute to a faction, the more they offer in return — exclusive gear unlocks, facility upgrades, and growing influence.
Read the Battle, Turn the Tide —— Tactical Command Battle
Break & Follow-up System: Exploit enemy weaknesses to shatter their guard, triggering ally follow-up attacks that lock them down and leave them helpless.
Counter & Parry: Time your inputs to nullify incoming damage and immediately strike back with a devastating counterattack.
The Crawl & Craft Cycle : Gather materials in the dungeon, craft and appraise gear at your hub — then dive back in stronger than before.
Push Past Your Limits —— Build & Loot
Classless Character Creation: Mix and match race, stats, appearance, weapon proficiency, and backstory to forge a playstyle entirely your own — no class restrictions, no compromises.
Vast Constellation Skill Tree: Chart your own path through a sprawling, non-linear skill tree to build combinations that transcend any single class archetype.
Random Affixes: Every piece of equipment rolls its own set of abilities — even two weapons of the same name can play completely differently.
