Solid Clouds, an Indie studio based in Iceland, just launched a new expansion for Starborne: Frontiers today. In the new Voidbreach expansion, players will get access to an entire new game mode, a new crafting system, and an overhauled Alliance Vault.
Starborne: Frontiers is a free-top-play sci-fi tactical autobattler. You apparently collect hundreds of different ships to form a fleet. You can customize your fleet with a variety of equipment, and try to form the best battle formations. The game features both PvP multiplayer arenas and an actual campaign.
In addition to Steam, Starborne: Frontiers is also available on iOS and Android.
Key features of Voidbreach:
- New Game Mode: Introducing Void Breaches, a semi-roguelike game mode designed to extend your progression well beyond the current limits of the Abyss. Instead of fighting through static, predictable battles, you will navigate semi-linear maps featuring branching paths, combat nodes, and random encounters.
- New Craft Materials: Craft new Void Catalysts to set your own baseline difficulty depth and determine the specific loot you want to target. Customize each run by collecting Void Shards, these will increase both the loot reward at the end, as well as give you multiple options to add new mechanics to change how the battlefield plays out. This system allows you to tailor the challenge to fit your specific roster’s strengths, letting you manually balance the risk you take against the rewards you want.
- Newly Overhauled Alliance Vault: The Alliance Vault has been completely turned into a multi-phase raid encounter that scales in difficulty. Participating here is no longer just about the leaderboard; it’s now a primary way to earn essential resources needed to craft Void Catalysts. This creates a direct loop between cooperative and solo play, your daily contribution to the Alliance raid directly funds your personal deep dives into the Void, ensuring that helping your teammates also helps you progress your own adventure.
