How co-op works
Online or local co-op lets teams explore procedural planets together, dodging dense bullet patterns while rescuing stranded crew and gathering traps, then collaborate on defensive tower placement to survive base holdout phases between expeditions.
About this game
Rogue Star Rescue combines bullet hell shooting with tower defense across procedurally generated planets. Teams venture out to rescue stranded crew members while navigating screens filled with enemy projectiles, then return to base and position traps to withstand increasingly dangerous assault waves using the resources gathered during each sortie.

Exploration runs demand precise dodging and weapon coordination as projectile patterns intensify. Each rescued teammate joins your roster, and scavenged materials unlock new turrets, traps, and defensive tools. Holdout phases test your trap placement and spatial planning as enemies attack your base from multiple directions, forcing real-time adjustments to your defensive grid.
The rogue-like structure reshuffles planets, enemy configurations, and loot pools every run, rewarding experimentation with trap synergies and crew loadouts. Cross-platform support and both online and local split-screen options let squads divide responsibilities between offense and defense, making coordination and voice communication vital to stopping the Rogue Star's advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Rogue Star Rescue?
You can play online co-op or local split-screen with your team. The game supports cross-platform multiplayer, so you can squad up with friends on different systems. Co-op lets you divide roles-some players can focus on exploration and rescuing crew while others manage trap placement and defense during holdout phases.
Do we need voice chat to play co-op effectively?
Voice communication is highly recommended. Coordinating between exploration sorties and defensive trap placement requires real-time adjustments, especially when enemies attack your base from multiple directions. Being able to call out enemy patterns, resource needs, and defensive priorities makes runs much smoother.
What happens to rescued crew members in co-op?
Each crew member you rescue during exploration runs joins your shared roster and brings new capabilities to your team. The rescued teammates unlock additional options for trap placement and defensive strategies that your whole squad can use in subsequent holdout phases.
Does progress carry over between runs?
Rogue Star Rescue follows rogue-like structure, so each run reshuffles planets, enemy configurations, and loot. While individual runs are self-contained, scavenged materials unlock new turrets, traps, and defensive tools that persist, giving your team more strategic options for future attempts.
