We released the "Strike Update" last month and one feature we added was the boss theme music. People seemed to love the new songs and asked us where to get them. Well, since the boss music was added to the game for free, why not release the music for everyone to enjoy? For free, of course. So here you go. Please download and enjoy the sweet, sweet tunes by our very own, cheese-loving composer, Matias Lehtoranta.
To download the songs, find and install the "Strike Update OST' from your Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax DLC list. Alternatively, you can download the OST as a .zip from our download page: https://nc.dreamloop.net/index.php/s/OzXFXEGfWNUgQgm
The songs included in the "Strike Update OST" are:
Stellar Climax ~ SGW SC Trailer Theme
Gearsplitter EX ~ Generic Boss Theme
Sea Attacker ~ Marine Boss Theme
Insects ~ Organic Boss Theme
Rise of The Machines ~ Mechanical Boss Theme
Let us know which song is your favorite!
The Strike Update
We announced a patch for Stardust Galaxy Warriors in our 2nd year anniversary stream last year and now it is finally here!
We have made bunch of changes and slight adjustments to the game, starting with the main menu. When you launch SGW, you will be greeted by the new main menu. The different game modes can now be found under the “Play” button. In-game, there have been many small tweaks to the gameplay. For example, you can now enable “auto-melee” from the options menu that allows you to hold the melee-button to slash continuously.
Beyond just tweaks and bug fixes, we have added some completely new content, such as new sound- and visual effects, music and even a new game mode! The new audiovisual effects were added to make some enemy behaviors clearer and to generally add some extra punch to the attacks. The boss fights are getting spiced up with new boss music! The new music has been composed by non-other than Matias Lehtoranta, the composer of the original game’s soundtrack! The new game mode – Strike – is a variant on the ‘Gauntlet’ mode, featuring the endlessly scaling enemy waves of the Gauntlet, but implementing the shop from the Campaign between every 3 stages. The Strike mode also features its own trophies/achievements for all of you achievement hunters!
Below is a list of the changes and additions the patch introduces.
PATCH NOTES (26.4.2018):
Separated game mode selection to a ‘Play’ menu from main menu.
New ‘Strike’ game mode: similar to ‘Gauntlet’ but with added store and different enemy progression.
Trophies/Achievements for ‘Strike’ game mode.
Removed ‘Gauntlet Store’ option from custom option presets.
New Boss music themes by Matias Lehtoranta!
New enemies for Gauntlet and Strike modes.
Streamlined ‘Gauntlet’ experience now with (at least) 100% more action!
Enemy bullets and enemies themselves are destroyed when a boss dies.
Silver Wolf distortion can now be used when the distortion bar is half full, and costs half a bar. Damage and cooldown have been adjusted as well.
Added an option for automatic melee slashes when the melee button is held.
More audiovisual effects and polish.
Improved performance in general.
Misc small fixes and improvements.

A new patch and DLC announced for 2018!
Hello folks!
What a year it has been: We (Dreamloop Games) had our second birthday, Stardust Galaxy Warriors turned 2 years old and our home country, Finland, turned 100 years old!
We have been extremely busy working on all kinds of outsourcing jobs, which have given us the opportunity to get to know a bunch of great gamedev people around the world. We have also started to look into a sequel to our beloved side-scrolling SHMUP-brawler Stardust Galaxy Warriors, though the project is still very much in the idea stage.
AND finally, we have announced that SGW will be receiving a new content patch and DLC during the year 2018!
The patch will be free to everyone and will feature some new content (a new gauntlet game mode with session based progression and tweaked difficulty), balanced weapons and mechs and bug fixes. We have been listening to what players have been saying about the game and we will be making the changes based on that feedback (Plus we’ll be fixing a few things that have kept the team awake at night for a year now). So, if you have anything you would like us to add, fix or change, let us know on the forums, Twitter, Facebook or Youtube!
The DLC is planned to focus around mech specific challenges and gameplay. We want to give the hardcore SGW players some new challenges to beat with this DLC, making sure that you get as much bang for your buck as possible. And of course, there will be new achievements to hunt! More on the DLC details as we move on with the development so stay tuned!
We are super thankful to all of you who have bought Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax, all who have given us feedback and critique on the game, all who have reviewed the game and all who have created content of our game! We hope you will like what we have in store for you in the patch and DLC!
We’d like to wish you all happy holidays and a great new year!
