Embark on endless runs through chaotic levels in Star Fire: Eternal Cycle. Developed by Ethereal Fish Studio, this 2025 indie RPG offers fast-paced combat and slick movement, inspired by timeless arcade side-scrollers.
About this game
Star Fire is a quick-to-pick-up, action-packed roguelite built for fast, satisfying gameplay — no steep learning curves, no overcomplicated systems. It combines the precision of side-scrolling action with the unpredictable buildcraft of roguelites, offering tight feedback, responsive movement, and random skill progression.
Fluid, Skill-based Combat
Dodge, dash, and unleash combos with satisfying precision. The core controls are simple, but leave plenty of room to master your moves. Every move feels good — because every hit counts.
Roguelite Replayability
Every stage, every loadout, every enemy lineup is different. With randomized skills and branching paths, no two runs play the same — keeping things fresh, surprising, and addictive.
Elemental Mayhem & Build Variety
With eight elemental types, multiple primary and secondary weapons, and a wide range of hero abilities, each run gives you the freedom to try something new. Customize your gear, mix elements, and develop a combat style that feels right for you.
Surprises Around Every Corner
Secret rooms. Random events. Weird mini-challenges. There’s always something unexpected waiting — and often, it pays off big.
Unlock More with Every Run
Collect resources from each playthrough to unlock badass new skins, powerful weapons, and permanent upgrades that crank up the chaos every time you play.
