About this game
Hello, Stellar Hunters! We are Taimao Games, an indie development team of two. We are delighted to bring you Astral Hunter: Homebound, a fast‑paced action roguelike game.
Pick up your weapon and face hordes of enemies. Continuously upgrade and modify your gear or skills during combat. Cleverly buy special items and actively sacrifice stats that do not benefit you — play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, forging a combat style that is uniquely yours.
Capture all kinds of creatures you encounter in battle and use their abilities to aid you. Filter for quality, keeping only the very best! Bring them back to your base, build a ranch, and let these creatures continuously produce precious materials for you. (Idle production is supported!)
Use the resources produced by your ranch pets to strengthen yourself. Absorb the essence of all things, transforming from the inside out — each sip is a leap toward a stronger form.
