Detailed information has been revealed for 'Star Savior', the new title from CEO Ryu Geum-tae, known for his work on domestic subculture games such as Closers and Counterside.

On the 22nd, Studiobside hosted a closed beta preview livestream via their official YouTube channel. The broadcast provided a deep dive into the game’s core content and introduced various characters. The stream was hosted by CEO Ryu Geum-tae, who appeared as the VTuber ‘Ryuko-chan’, and covered information ranging from in-game content to the company's booth at Tokyo Game Show 2025.

Star Savior, unveiled during the broadcast, is a game that combines 'turn-based RPG combat' and 'life-simulation growth mechanics'. The game follows the story of a player who embarks on a 'journey' to obtain the power of the Star Savior, along with their companions. As revealed in the preview, players will organize a team of four characters to engage in combat.

In the turn-based combat content, each character has set speed, attributes, and elemental affinities, requiring strategic team composition. The combat UI displays each unit's shield stat, known as 'Tenacity', as well as elemental affinities and turn order, helping players make careful decisions even during chaotic battles. Additionally, players can use 'Break Points'—a resource gained by shattering Tenacity through specific attributes or skill effects—to turn the tide of battle.

The 'Journey' mode, a life-simulation part where players can develop their characters, is a content where players create 'Stellar Archives' to boost character stats. By combining Arcana obtained through the 'Journey' and Stellar Archives, players determine the growth direction of their characters. Much like Gakuen Idolmaster or Uma Musume Pretty Derby, the goal is to manage the character's schedule to ensure optimal growth. Since the final result of the 'Stellar Archive' varies significantly based on choices and success rates, it requires careful judgment.

At the end of the preview, Ryuko-chan explained the complexity of the game's content, stating, "There might be concerns that the 'Journey' mode takes too much time, but we provide strong quality-of-life features, including a skip function for daily content. Also, once you complete a character's journey ending, an auto-journey mode is activated, allowing you to finish the journey very quickly by just setting your cards."

Meanwhile, Studiobside began the closed beta test for Star Savior on PC and mobile starting from the 23rd. The test will run until the 29th.
