Beat ‘Em Up Roguelite Star Fire: Eternal Cycle Debuts Sept. 8 Launch Date at The MIX

Forge highly customizable elemental builds and duke it out against an alien invasion

SHENZHEN, China – Aug. 29, 2025 — Star Fire: Eternal Cycle, the fast-paced roguelite sidescroller from developer Ethereal Fish Studio and publisher Indie Herb Games, pummels onto PC via Steam on Monday, September 8, 2025, as debuted today during The MIX Fall Game Showcase.

Protect Earth from an invasion of alien bugs hellbent on the planet’s destruction. Master eight dynamic weapons with fast, punchy precision, and customize their chaotic output with impressive upgrades. Dance dangerously between enemy attacks with swift movement, imbuing weapons with game-changing elements including fire, ice, thunder, wind, earth, and shadow.

The expansive Insectoid Cores system features over 150 elemental variations for powerful, personalized builds across every attempt. Freeze approaching aliens with the Frost Aura, engage the Absolute Shield to prioritize defense, or power through enemies with the groundbreaking Earth Splitter, electrifying Earth-Shattering Hammer, and other weapons of mass mayhem.

Create a chaotic maelstrom of mixed equipment, weaponry, and elemental buffs to challenge nine epic boss fights built to kill. Navigate the twisted canals of the Fallout Shelter, explore the vastness of the Desert of Death, and other post-apocalyptic environments, including a seemingly abandoned Space Station.

“As developers and lovers of roguelites, creativity is so important to us,” said Jensen Hu, Creative Director at Ethereal Fish Studio. “Star Fire shows how powerful creativity can be in the hands of players. We can’t wait to see how players tackle this rewarding gameplay loop with their own flair, scratching the roguelite itch to go for one more run.”

Star Fire: Eternal Cycle delivers a powerful strike on Monday, September 8, 2025, on PC via Steam. Language support includes English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and French.
