Starlight Alliance is an action RPG set in a future version of earth featuring two playable characters and fast shoot & punch combat. Avoid bullets, repel them with the shield system or just, y'know, punch a bot really hard in the face.
Not that fighting is the only thing you'll do. Getting through these forsaken alien cities or the wasteland that is earth might also require some thinking, crafting and exploration.

Welcome to the future! Everything is automated, recycling is at 99.9% efficiency, and earth is considered to be at its apex. Humans and aliens are living side by side in sky cities far above the inhospitable planet surface. It all could have been perfect. But it was not to last. The systems start to fail, and the drone networks is acting up. Nobody knows why. Two strangers, Lea and Cyris, experience these system failures in two different ways, but it brings them together. They'll uncover dark secrets on earth's surface and find a chance at salvation somewhere out there in the cold darkness that is space.

Starlight Alliance was made in 2020 and early 2021 by solo dev Bernhard Politsch. He previously released many freeware titles like the A Game with a Kitty series, dreamlike platformers with surreal leanings. Making these titles over the years helped him gain experience of all aspects of game development. Starlight Alliance is part of his twin RPG projects - one focussing on fast action (Starlight Alliance), and the other one on turn-based battles and story (still untitled).
