Star Renegades was rather highly regarded when it arrived on Switch eShop in late 2020; it's a stylish game with its own unique take on the roguelike turn-based battle genre. We were pretty glowing in our review, describing it as "a title that absolutely belongs in your Switch library".
For big fans of the game the good news is that it's getting two physical editions, with developer ININ Games and publisher Raw Fury teaming up with Strictly Limited Games. There are two editions, most prominently the Collector's Edition below, which costs €49.99 in Europe and will be limited to 2500 copies.
There will also be 2500 copies of the Limited Edition, which is just a standard case but includes a manual and will be individually numbers.
Pre-orders should be live now over on the Strictly Limited Games store page.
Are you planning to add this to your collection?

This looks super good. Anyone have feedback on this game? Would love to pick this up
Manuals in games are "limited editions" now...Man, I'm getting old.
@ItsATM Can't really speak for the updated version (I booted the game up a 2 months ago) but it was laggy as hell. Couldn't even get through the first fight without the audio stuttering and some gameplay hiccups here and there that sometimes even resulted in it crashing. Once that happened I lost all interested in it.
However this SE looks pretty neat-o. I might wanna get it just for the sake of collecting it.
Up for grabs means free to me.......poorly worded heading there.
@ItsATM yep it's fantastic, but challenging.
@Spoony_Tech Agreed.
Just a load of stuff nobody needs or will ever really look at.
Cool game, very challenging.
I'd be interested in the artbook on its own but I don't need all the other stuff.
The combat system didn't grab me. I put in maybe an hour's worth though. It was very strategic just to manage the breaks by turn making it almost like a puzzle to determine what's the right way to play the fight to maximize breaks to win. It wasn't bad, but it didn't click with me. Maybe I should give it another shot. The boss system was ... different to say the least. I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. I dug the art style though.
I've already got a Japanese copy on order, sadly. If I had known SLG opted to release Star Renegades physically earlier I would've been a buyer.
@Spoony_Tech I clicked on the article expecting to see the very same...
Gah, I wish they had a store for some of this stuff. I'd love that artbook, but no way am I dropping sixty bucks on it.
@Nephestinus I didn't get the game because of the reported performance issues on switch, but it seems they have released updates do mitigate them and are working on fixing the remaining issues, and a patch is coming out soon: https://twitter.com/starrenegades/status/1382718949356404740?s=20
@ItsATM I really enjoyed it while playing for a review for the Brazilian website Pizza Fria.
BUUUUT... (yes, uppercased) It has/had severe performance problems due to lighting and shadows filters, motion blur and run/ran poorly. One of the latest updates brought optimizations, but I have not played it since.
On the gameplay side of evaluating Star Renegades, do you like turn-based combat? Battles require strategy, each time the team returns to base after a wipe, you have the opportunity of choosing different team members, which drastically changes the run. Think of Hades, but with an altered Active Battle System.
