What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Cool rogue like 8-bit top down shooter with plenty of character, nice variety of weapons and replayability, perfect for quick pick up and play sessions on the steam deck.
As you play, you gain access to new characters, each with unique starting stats, weapons, or passive abilities.
Star of Providence is a criminally overlooked gem in the twin-stick shooter genre, a game that blends tight, satisfying combat with roguelike structure and retro-inspired visuals to deliver an experience that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
The Soundtrack is just bleeps and bloops, nothing you haven't heard, very generic and frankly quite noisy by default, turn it down.
Finally, this is a perfect game for my Steam Deck, I doubt I will ever uninstall it.
The game feels fantastic on controller and is a dream on a steam deck especially when you're waiting around in an airport.
