A deckbuilding strategy game fusing card-battling with tight turn-based tactics where every move matters.

Navigate the Cosmos. Outsmart Your Enemies.

Star Scum gameplay

Star Scum is a deckbuilding strategy game that fuses card-battling with tight turn-based tactics where every move matters. Designed from the ground up as a symmetrical PvP game, its central feature is a singleplayer roguelike run where you battle procedurally generated decks controlled by smart, human-like AI.

In Star Scum, building your deck is just the beginning. When you play cards in battle, they become tactical units and ship equipment that you must command every turn across two battling ships.

Playing cards and commanding your ship and crew both use the same precious resource: command points. Every turn forces difficult decisions about how to spend them — do you deploy new units or press the attack with what you have?

What Awaits You in the Outer Dumps

Every card you play becomes a tactical decision. Every tile on your ship shapes your strategy.

Tactical Ship Combat

Cards become tactical units and ship equipment that you command every turn across two battling ships. Outsmart your opponent with positioning and timing.

Deep Deck Building

Build your deck from over 230 cards. Playing cards and commanding your crew both use command points — every turn forces tough decisions about how to spend them.

Ship Customization

Build your ship tile by tile. Each tile defines your stats — health, command points per turn, and energy generation. Your ship is as much your strategy as your deck.

Roguelike Runs

Take on a singleplayer roguelike campaign where you battle increasingly difficult AI opponents with procedurally generated decks controlled by smart, human-like AI.

Symmetrical PvP

Designed from the ground up as a symmetrical PvP experience. Every mechanic available to you is available to your opponent — victory comes down to pure strategy.

More Modes Coming
