The sci-fi sandbox universe of Star Conflict is expanding into bold new territory. Development studio Targem Games has officially announced Star Conflict: Burrownauts, an upcoming action roguelite that promises a unique blend of chill resource gathering and intense, bullet-heaven combat.
Whether you are a longtime veteran of the franchise or a fan of action roguelites like Vampire Survivors and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Star Conflict: Burrownauts is aiming straight for your wishlist.
Mine, Upgrade, Defend: The Core Gameplay Loop
Star Conflict: Burrownauts branches off from the MMO roots of the main franchise to focus on a fast-paced, highly replayable single-player or co-op roguelite loop.
Players pilot customised spacecraft to explore forgotten, ancient planetoids lurking on the outer edges of known space. The gameplay transitions seamlessly between two distinct rhythms:
- Relaxing Resource Mining: Tunnel into alien terrain, harvest rare ores, and uncover mysterious ancient technology scattered across subterranean planetoid networks.
- Fast-Paced Bullet-Heaven Combat: Space isn’t empty—and the local wildlife isn’t friendly. Defend your mining rigs and base from massive, swarming waves of alien threats using automated weapons, custom ship loadouts, and screen-clearing special abilities.
Between runs, players bring their hard-earned materials back to upgrade their fleet, unlock permanent weapons, boost defences, and craft specialised gear tailored to survive increasingly hazardous alien environments.
Why Gaming Fans Should Keep an Eye on Burrownauts
Targem Games—the developers behind popular vehicular combat titles like Crossout and the original Star Conflict—are bringing their expertise in tight craft mechanics and tactical combat into the burgeoning “bullet-heaven” subgenre.
