The galaxy is in ruins

The stars are going out. The great empires are gone or gutted, their borders redrawn in ash. The ruins are the prize now, and there is no shortage of takers.

The galaxy is dying. War lives on.

What Is This Game?

Ruinstars is a narrative sci-fi skirmish wargame about elite squads on dark-ops missions, and the brutal choices that decide who gets to walk away. Fast, lethal, and objective-driven. Built for solo, co-op, and competitive play.

Squad-Scale Tactics: Command 4-10 Units in tight, terrain-heavy fights where positioning and timing matter more than raw stats.
Narrative Without the Bloat: Campaign play adds scars, rewards, and hard choices, without turning your table into bookkeeping.
Play Modes: PvE solo or co-op campaigns, PvP, and Horde Mode.
