To the Stars Gets 2023 Release Window

I tend to keep Rogue-like games on my radar as I find out about them. After playing Slay the Spire and Castle Morihisa, I extend this to Rogue-like Deck builders too. We often see Deck builders that are in the fantasy genre, but developer Stellar Cartography is bringing a spacefaring one to PC and Switch next year.

Stellar Cartography, alongside publisher Blowfish Studios, will be releasing To the Stars in Q2 2023. To the Stars will be coming to Nintendo Switch and PC. Here is what the press release has to say about the game thus far from the press release:

“What’s a disgraced captain of a renowned treasure-hunting brigade to do when they fail to make a name for themselves? Open a universe-wide touring service, of course! Surf a procedurally generated sea of stars while recruiting a group of… quirky, yet talented alien crewmates. Utilize their distinct abilities to effectively manage the voyages ahead and, most importantly, ensure guests have a great time aboard your spaceship.

The galaxy is full of threats, so cruise cautiously and keep an eye out for territorial tyrants and rival tour agencies. Ready a deck with an elite arsenal of aliens, weapons, bonuses, abilities, and ships to safely ferry passengers through the final frontier. Prepare for real-time strategy battles – deploy Neela the Great, the best darn pilot in the galaxy, Zelbob, the slyest smuggler in the sector, and more colorful characters to eliminate galactic threats with style.

Tons of randomized scenarios will require the quick thinking of a true con artist, the expert guidance of a captain, or simply the raw PEW PEW SMASH power of a seasoned celestial barbarian – whichever makes more sense at the time. Sustain a diverse crew to guarantee passenger safety and keep the business thriving.”

Stellar Cartographer’s founder, Ido Yehieli also commented on the game, stating, “To the Stars is a fun mesh of deck-building card games and tactical planet-hopping adventures. Guides will discover strange new worlds, meet cute aliens, and take on exciting battles whilst giving a flock of gullible loveable tourists the space tour of a lifetime!”

Space tourism has never looked so colorful! I love the idea of exploring galaxies and meeting new races. It feels like a mix of a cruise ship and Star Trek, which just looks fun. We’ve got a bit of a wait before To the Stars launches, but hopefully, we’ll get to see more before the release next year.
