STEEL CORE – the new game by Starni Games!

When the suits discover Xenoridium ore, they sign a contract, and someone gets outsourced to protect it. That someone is you.

Welcome to STEEL CORE, our new game!

By day, you build modular mechs and fortify a mining outpost. By night, you try to stop the local xenofauna from destroying the whole operation.

Here’s what it looks like:

Mech components can be swapped, and each mech can carry up to four weapons. Yes, an
all-flamethrower squad is a legitimate strategic decision. Possibly not a good one, but that's up to you.

It had been a while since we posted any news – and we had reasons for that related to us being a Ukraine-based team, which I am going to shed some light on in the next news update, dedicated to our team’s latest developments.

Please let me know if you have any questions for/about the team in the comments, and I will do my best to answer those in the next Dev update in September 2026!

Also, I am really curious to know if you are interested in a sci-fi setting and a game built around Mech combat, as opposed to WWII / realistic games we have published before. Let me know what you think about our new project and its theme.  

With Best Regards from Kyiv
