About
Earth’s defenses have fallen, and aliens are attacking! As a pilot, you’re humanity’s last hope. Climb into a powerful mech and battle the invasion using strategic card play.
In StarVaders, you command a powerful mech and lead humanity’s defense against an alien invasion. The game blends strategic, turn-based combat on a grid with the excitement of deckbuilding. Collect and play powerful cards to create devastating combos and protect Earth!
Pilot Your Mech Into Battle
In StarVaders, each giant robot, or mech, comes with a team of pilots. Every mech offers new cards and ways to play, and your chosen pilot adds even more strategic options with their special abilities.
Choose your Mech and dominate the battlefield! Command the Gunner for relentless firepower, get into the thick of the action with the agile Stinger, or harness the magical abilities of the Keeper!
