- Sci-fi tactical card game with JRPG combat mechanics
- Dynamic battles where 5-Warbeast teams evolve mid-fight using strategic card play
- Over 75 million possible team combinations available at launch
Emerging developer Deploy Starship introduces its debut title Starship Warbeasts, an ambitious cross-platform sci-fi card battler scheduled for 2026. While paying homage to genre giants like Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone, this game breaks traditional formats with its innovative battle system.
Combining card strategy with JRPG-style tactical combat, Starship Warbeasts features real-time battle progression where your selected Warbeasts—creatures from ten distinct planets—gain new abilities mid-fight through level-up cards. The gameplay emphasizes both strategy and adaptability, allowing players to react dynamically using spells, items, and evolving unit stats.
With over 75 million possible Warbeast team compositions at launch, squad building requires thoughtful planning rather than random selection. Developers emphasize rewarding strategic foresight while maintaining exciting in-the-moment decision-making.
While primarily focused on competitive multiplayer, Starship Warbeasts will expand with narrative-driven content exploring interplanetary conflicts through seasonal updates. Story enthusiasts may need to wait post-launch for deeper campaign experiences.
