If you just want to unwind after a busy day and leave the stress of everyday life behind (or are looking for a completely harmless game for your kids), this sweet and cozy game is just right for you.
Lonestar: Sci-Fi Bounty Hunts in Space
A completely different pace awaits you in Lonestar:Here, you take on the role of an ambitious bounty hunter and command your own spaceship. This roguelike focuses on tactical turn-based combat reminiscent of a mix between a deck-builder and a puzzle game.
You equip your ship with countless different modules and must find the best combinations in turn-based battles to send enemy ships back to stardust.
Between battles, you recruit crew members with unique abilities, collect powerful artifacts, and gradually build the ultimate fighting machine. If you love titles like FTL or Slay the Spire and enjoy tinkering with the perfect tactics, you should definitely give this space adventure a try—especially since90 percent of user reviews on Steamare positive.
