Legacy of the Elder Star is 50% off during the Steam Winter Sale!
We also launched the Official Soundtrack, which was requested many times and took way too long for me to finally publish.

(Note: If you haven't picked up the game yet, you can get the game+soundtrack bundle today at a nice discount.)
We fixed a couple of showstopper bugs that cropped up in the Linux version, so if you're a Linux player and had trouble getting things working recently, we're very sorry, and we made it better. :)
And finally, we got a very lovely review from Christ Centered Gamer, in which they said:
"Tight controls, great design, and fantastic presentation make [Legacy of the Elder Star] worth the price of admission, even before considering the nigh-endless replayability."
Thanks, CCG! <3

Fans of the genre should definitely be checking this game out.” — True PC Gaming
Using a one-handed, mouse-driven control scheme, you'll dodge and strike with 1:1 precision and unlimited movement speed. Evade intense bullet patterns in the blink of an eye, then dash through entire enemy squads to crush them in a single gesture. Movement is everything in Legacy of the Elder Star, and no other shoot 'em up moves like this.
“Instantly feels familiar and intuitive.” — TechRaptor
Legacy of the Elder Star is focused on playing smart offense, not picking your way through overwhelming bullet hell. Enemy patterns change each time you play, keeping you on your toes and avoiding rote sequence repetition; online daily challenges are even further randomized. The main story mode grants unlimited continues; death may limit your scoring potential, but it won't kick you out of the game. And extensive accessibility options like a colorblind mode, auto-fire toggle, and adjustable game speed are included for gamers with disabilities, or even just those who want a more laid-back experience.
"An intense and thoroughly enjoyable shmup experience.” — Alpha Beta Gamer
Principal artist Erik Exeter brings over a decade of digital illustration experience to Legacy of the Elder Star. The result is a beautifully vibrant world expressed in confident brush strokes and an eye-popping, high-energy color palette fit for all the explosive action you expect from a shmup, without sacrificing readability.
“The hand-painted graphics fill this game with so much color…it’s an absolute joy to look at, as well as play.” — Gamers Haven
With its intuitive mouse-driven controls and ever-changing enemy patterns, its modern design sensibilities and welcoming accessibility features, and its vibrant hand-painted artwork and energetic soundtrack, Legacy of the Elder Star is a shoot 'em up for the rest of us!
