STARDUST VANGUARDS is a local multiplayer dueling game in the style of old-school anime space operas blending precision high-speed mecha warfare with overwhelming numbers of NPC reinforcements.

As each battle rages on, players will earn and summon increasingly powerful allies to help on the battlefield. Each battle is unique with the game's random event system, forcing players to respond to dozens of potential surprise attacks by computer-controlled space pirates. Perhaps a temporary truce is in order since the pirates can win the battle just like the players can! STARDUST VANGUARDS brings fast-paced dueling, a dash of strategy, and plenty of bullets to competitive couch-multiplayer fans.
