BroodStar (Windows Game) is a classic arcade shoot ’em up with roguelike elements, developed by David Schmidthoffer and Mae Livingston. In this high‑intensity space shooter, you pilot a starship on a relentless quest to destroy the living planet known as the BroodStar while facing hordes of alien enemies and monstrous bosses across a procedurally generated galaxy. With each run, you collect research points and upgrade modules that evolve your ship’s abilities, weapons, drones, and utilities, but when you fall, you start again — keeping only your research progression for future runs.
Along the way, stage modifiers, random events, and unique challenges spice up every level, making each playthrough unpredictable and engaging. BroodStar features retro‑style pixel art and satisfying top‑down shooter gameplay, and it has earned very positive reviews from players on Steam and other PC storefronts. The game also includes leaderboards and challenges for score chasers.
