Starlight Alliance

About

Starlight Alliance is a third-person shooter RPG where you play as Cyris and Lea, two misfits navigating a futuristic world of floating cities and failing systems. The game blends rapid gunplay with exploration and light puzzle solving as you navigate large vertical environments. Each character has distinct abilities that shift how you approach combat and traversal. You’ll tackle malfunctioning drones, scavenged tech, and environmental hazards while piecing together a story about societal collapse and cosmic threats. Set in a seemingly perfect utopia where automation has erased most human labor, the game stands out for its stark contrast between sleek sky cities and the ruined Earth below. The dual protagonists offer different perspectives on the same crisis, with their paths intertwining as they uncover corporate conspiracies and extraterrestrial mysteries. While the 2021 release drew mixed reviews for uneven pacing, fans praised its inventive level design and the synergy between action and narrative. PC and Switch players get a compact but ambitious mix of sci-fi storytelling and reactive combat.

Storyline

Welcome to the future – where everything is automated, recycling is at 99.9% efficiency, and Earth is considered at its peak. Humans and aliens now live side-by-side in sky cities far above the planet’s inhospitable surface. It all could have been perfect ... but it just wasn’t meant to last. Mysteriously, the systems started failing and the drone networks began acting up – nobody knows quite why. Two strangers, Lea and Cyris, each experience these system failures in two different ways and find themselves brought together by unforeseen circumstances. As a team, they’ll soon uncover dark secrets on the Earth's surface and find a chance at salvation somewhere out there in the cold darkness of space!
