Hybrid sci-fi co-op game StarRupture gets first look at gameplay

Polish developer Creepy Jar has unveiled gameplay footage for StarRupture, their upcoming co-op hybrid shooter.

The gameplay preview showcases the game’s core elements: base-building, exploration, and combat.

Here are the highlights of the new gameplay details and the gameplay reveal:

Today, Creepy Jar is excited to offer players a sneak peek into some of StarRupture’s dynamic gameplay, focusing on intense first-person combat in solo footage. The game heavily emphasizes its 4-player co-op feature, highlighting a base under siege from various threats on a distant planet.

StarRupture revolves around three key gameplay pillars – base-building, exploration, and combat. The adrenaline-pumping trailer, captured from an early build, provides a glimpse of the thrilling combat challenges players will encounter in their fight for survival. Set in a futuristic setting, humanity ventures into space in search of vital resources. However, the planet Ruptura, orbiting a distant star, is not only abundant in resources but also fraught with dangers.

In the teaser, our protagonist faces waves of enemies attacking a customized base. As if that’s not enough, the planet’s star is on the brink of unleashing a catastrophic firestorm on the surface. While the character’s health and armor stats are visible, keen-eyed viewers will also notice indicators for thirst, toxicity, and hunger levels.

Using gathered resources to craft ammunition for turret defense, the player strives to protect the besieged base against overwhelming odds. With enemies targeting vital structures and a new menacing threat approaching, quick decisions are crucial. As drones transport resources across elevated tracks, the enemy onslaught intensifies. To make matters worse, the impending fiery apocalypse adds urgency to the race for safety.

Drawing from their experience with Green Hell, Creepy Jar skillfully integrates the gameplay pillars of base-building, exploration, and combat in StarRupture. The game narrates a tale of mankind battling nature in a captivating sci-fi setting, where extreme elemental calamities pose constant risks. Players assume the role of an exile mining and expanding industrial operations on a seemingly hospitable yet perilous planet. Surviving the brutal elements and facing hostile adversaries in combat, each cycle brings destruction but also opportunities for growth and rebuilding.

Played from a first-person perspective, either solo or in up to a 4-player co-op mode, players will explore, adapt, mine resources, and construct intricate machinery to thrive in the harsh environment.

While categorized as a base-building simulator, StarRupture offers much more. It challenges players to endure and strategize against relentless assaults, constructing and adapting to survive the planet’s harsh conditions. Fans of building, management, sci-fi action, and combat will find StarRupture a test of their skills in utilizing technology to outlast extreme conditions and formidable foes.



StarRupture is currently in development for Windows PC via Steam, with no official release date announced yet.
