Starless Abyss

 
Updates for 1.1.2 patchJun 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWe are back with some balance changes and bug fixes in the 1.1.2 patch! Balance: - Lucid buff: Many of you have said that Lucid feels very under powered compared to the others and we agree. This tends to happen with starter characters but now Lucid has an extra ability of removing heat if a defense card is played on a ship. - The boss Astra (giant starfish) AOE attack damage is now reduced from 6 to 4. Fixes: - Modifiers that were offering free repairs are now removed from the reward pool since all repairs are free now by default. - Artifact names were not showing sometimes in the shop. - Evade stacks on Payload weren’t getting removed - Energy Spike text updated - Temporal Overload costing energy when the condition is met. - Overflow now removes heat at the end of the attack, not before. - Silo can now salvage ship upgrades as well. - Clean Build triggers correctly when a ship is upgraded - Cluster Mines preview now shows correct mines damage. - Sharpshooter not scaling damage using the correct values. - Worm dying mid attack softlock. - Quantum Swap on Star Eater no longer causes Star Eater to “extend” - Slime on Ship and Siren pull attack no longer cause a bug with Slime - It is no longer possible to click on a reward then quickly click on salvage Stay tuned for more updates in the future! -- konafa Lovecraft inspired tactical roguelike Starless Abyss is now even more rewardingMay 11, 2025 - PCGamesNI'm not sure what makes the unknowable so irresistibly compelling, but there's no questioning the allure of Lovecraft style eldritch horror. Arriving in April, new roguelike strategy game Starless Abyss forces scientists and worshippers of the occult to work together in the face of powerful, invading Outer Gods. It's already earned itself a very positive response from players, with 85% of Steam reviews recommending it, but now developer Konafa Games is ensuring you'll have more options at your disposal than ever.

As you make more card selections, the faction pool will be reduced. You will need to start a new run for this to take effect Poisoned shield energy cost reduced to 1 Energized laser upgrade damaged increased from 6 > 8 to 6 > 9, with charges increased from 3 to 4 Thermal Purge Base cost reduced to 1 energy. It now has reserve keyword.

We wouldn’t be where we are without you. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/Starless_Abyss/ We learned a ton from the demo and used that feedback to level things up. Here are just a few of the awesome additions you’ll find in the full game: Undo: We all make mistakes, and loads of you asked for the ability to undo when you move your ships to the wrong hex. Well, now you can, as long as you do it before taking any actions! Codex: You can now view all cards, artifacts, ships, and rituals in an informative codex! We’ll be adding even more to it post-release. Favoured mode: Introducing a brand-new Favoured mode! It gives you extra starting HP and Shield, and lets you fully repair between acts. It won’t affect your achievements or change enemy behavior, so you can learn the game with a bit of breathing room. Depth modifiers: Love a challenge? Pick and choose from a selection of Depth modifiers! Each one gives you bonus experience to help unlock everything faster! They come with their own achievements too, for that extra layer of bragging rights.

If you missed our first post about who you can meet in space to strategise with and grab cards from, you can check it out here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/3c14f056ec942843f721ff8754f661a94f2911bb.png Everyone knows good damage takes time, and The Dominion is no stranger to waiting out the enemy. Using radioactive weaponry and noxious clouds to cover the battlefield, they are the masters of damage over time. Not content with simply poisoning the battlefields, the Dominion also looks to serve itself, shielding and using those shields where possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/046e09134440f69abe9673b2764d33f0cd13fc66.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/ae05fc2f191c59d07f3fd3d49c0197f89e2bdc22.pngIf you're a fan of running your ships hot, you'll want to search out the Industrials. Controlling ship heat is paramount to them, and making ship heat and shields into weapons against their enemies makes them a deadly foe. Perfect for concentrated fire and ship management enthusiasts, the Industrials are the perfect way to incinerate horrors across space. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/17399822ea5c078f42d597b7dbf8a0034d94c9bc.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/075bab5d3ef8f83e78a3ec90af8ad0dfbb35f971.pngLooking for all out aggression? The Vanguard Reavers have the cards for you. Pushing offensive strategy to its limits, this faction looks to attack, push and displace your enemies. If you've no regard for shields or self-preservation, this is the perfect faction to look for on your journeys. Just beware, Proxima, their attacks are reckless, and may make dust of you as well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/bd0175380374b23210c0f92e6e09874939130164.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/501df081f7fed0751b029a3b8c299c1c4140de17.pngAlternatively, if you prefer to sit slightly further behind the font lines and observe closely, the Expeditionaries might be more your speed.

After meeting our Proximae, it feels natural to show off some of the factions you'll meet across the vast reaches of space, and the sorts of cards you can get from them to build your deck and nail down those combos: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/5040680164376da414a60fb5a4aff2c7ddbbd927.png Know that throughout the darkest reaches of space, Counter Horror will always be supporting and watching you. There's nowhere you can go where they cannot reach you. Their cards give good utility with a mix of card draw, offence and defence, so you can focus on your strategy and go for the kill. A good base to draw from as you build your playstyle and discover your preferences! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/71855bc4d9c6c6d601cad647e53ff9fec139f940.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/0c934633d1ec8e56ffe594140f18dd7230639779.png The Stellarium Union is a master of two skills - growing in power and disappearing from sight. With a tight focus on strategy rather than all-out offence, you'll need to be sharp to make the most of their cards. The Stellarium Union offerings are all about building Charge, which amplifies damage, and Stealth, as well as effects as you enter and leave stealth. Be warned, though, you can't hide forever! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/c65223d26e94976f45831f7e4e50ce8dc4ae6d82.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/210283dda86152240b80aab034afa2806069b0ed.png Love chaos? Looking to embrace the 'fireworks from afar' model of combat? Welcome to the Astro Mega-Corp, where we have a missile with your name on it. Astro Mega-Corp is all about throwing out missiles and excelling in long-range combat, while balancing them out with mines and area suppression. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/ef0a382bcf76341110ff3a9dc1c027f0b05caeea.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/ab8f88aeb905363bdef61a7f2215abfd7d028ba3.png If you prefer combat to be short-range and full of rage, the Iron Order may be worth a visit. Their cards are perfect for those looking to control a more compact battlefield directly around their ships. With a solid focus on armor, their cards are all geared towards getting tough and getting up close with a range of turrets, both for offensive and defensive purposes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/8f8b7ade9cc7258e841c8d3a2ced1e1eb499f901.png These are the first of our factions.

If you haven't played our demo yet, you can find it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3450230/Starless_Abyss_Demo/ We thought with so many of you getting to know Lucid and Silo, the first two of our Proximae, you might like to see what's on the cards for the rest of the game! Here are our victims heroes Proximae: Lucid Proxima {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/ce121ff8c1cd68cd81b9cb321a85e76101a09b99.gif As a Commander struggling for his memories amidst the tides of war, Lucid works to grasp his place in this new conflict. With the Eldritch pushing on the boundaries, known and unknown, he must separate what is real from what lies purely in the Dreaming. Can he find a way forward through the complexities of reality? You begin your adventure into the Starless Abyss as Lucid, who, thanks to his previous combat experience, has a few perks to help guide his fleet to victory. Lucid can control a full 3 ship fleet, upgrading or replacing them as he encounters stores throughout space. While this costs money, having three ships will allow you to out-manoeuvre bosses, trap your opponents and share heat from your weaponry effectively, and each ship heals 1 at the end of each combat. His team also get 3 D.I.C.E to make crucial decisions at events, and 75 Credits to spend on upgrades, new cards, new ships or repairs. Silo Proxima {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/78da4e479e34376b78ae065ba385f578bbe7bef9.gif Donated to science upon death, Silo Proxima may be the only brain in a jar across the entirety of the abyss, almost all alone in their sensory deprivation. Almost. Now, 400 years post-life, humanity may have another use for Silo, though their methods are neither ethical nor kind. But time is running out, and that very humanity is in short supply. Silo commands an impressive ship that can only travel alone rather than be part of a fleet. A state-of-the-art prototype that can teleport as it begins to run hot, and deals extra damage as the ship falls into an overheated state. Though of course, if your own ship is on fire, that presents problems. Bound Proxima {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/05c96fea2f0e6daad6cbeb7dc3ea2fcafee1bc52.gif Bound has ambition. Unfortunately, Bound is also cursed. Indebted to a higher, Eldritch being, misfortune and calamity seem to follow her wherever she goes. Can debts to higher powers be repaid? Tricked? Or are cosmic powers simply too great to wield with Credits alone? Bound's curse follows wherever she goes, and she must pay up to it every time she reaches a boss, or fleet damage will occur. She starts with a debt of 50 credits, shops will refuse to give her a discount and can only travel with a fleet of two ships. Credits are always available though, as long as you're happy to destroy all the corpses she leaves in her wake. Echo Proxima {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45246516/e12fd13faf8838411d862aec838f1b482221f659.gif The Echo, as neither Hor...
