Star Steel Vanguard is a survival roguelike where you drive a tank and level a hero through 20 minutes of steel, bullets, and a swarm that doesn't stop. You draft weapons and upgrades as you go, and the mid-run missions you accept decide how the run ends.
The war is older than anyone alive, and the amalgam does not stop. Out past the last supply line, you drive steel into the dark with a tank held together by scrap and stubbornness - and when it hits back, you dodge.
The Game
You drive, you shoot, you dodge. Every level-up, you draft a new weapon or upgrade, and the build you assemble decides how the run plays.
Key features
Two layers of progression
Every level-up, you draft a weapon or an upgrade. That build dies with the run. Between runs, two resources fund two tracks: currency buys talents in your character's tree, and materials pulled from run rewards and missions go into your tank. Nothing resets. What you buy stays bought.
Missions that make the call
Missions and events pop up during a run, each with a reward and a cost. Taking one grants a buff or a debuff, and you commit mid-run, in the middle of a fight. Missions also feed materials into your tank between runs, so a call made mid-fight outlives the run. That decision layer is what separates a Star Steel Vanguard run from a standard wave-survival loop.
Combat that hits back
Mobs take physics-based damage: physical shots knock them back, and bodies stack and clear the field. The combat is built to be loud - screen-filling fire, bosses that bring bigger patterns as the run ends.
