About this game
Star Luster combines cockpit shooting with decisions across a space battlefield. Map mode shows the wider situation and lets you warp to a chosen position; combat mode puts you in control of the fighter against nearby enemies. Time continues while you act, so an engagement is also time for the invaders to advance elsewhere. Choosing the next target competes with resupply visits. Bases and stars offer upgrades or information, making their protection part of the campaign.
