About the game, how to play & FAQ

How to play Star Marine

Auto-blast enemies: your marine fires on the current target automatically with a chance at critical hits — drones, xenos, turrets and titans drop without any clicking.
Loot & auto-equip: enemies drop gear for four slots (Rifle, Suit, Visor, Implant) across rarities; auto-equip swaps in anything stronger instantly and sells the old piece.
Level up: kills grant XP; leveling raises your attack and max HP and fully heals you, so deeper worlds stay survivable.
Advance the campaign: clear stages to move through five worlds — Colony Ruins, Hive Caves, The Foundry, Frozen Surface and the Alien Mothership — each ending in a heavy boss.
Spend on upgrades: permanently raise Attack, Vitality, Defense, Crit, Attack Speed, Luck (better drops) and Greed (more salvage).

Tips

Stonewalled by the War Mech or Polar Titan? Pour salvage into Attack and Crit, and Luck for higher-rarity rifles, then push again. Attack Speed scales your total DPS, and Greed snowballs your salvage so every other upgrade lands faster. Keep auto-equip on so a better Rifle never sits in the bin.
