The human Federation wished to develop peaceful relations, but there were those who did not trust the Galaxy Alliance, and mounted a fierce rebellion.
The rebellion was quickly put down, but its leader, Geist Needman, went missing.
Having expanded too quickly, the Federation was unable to maintain control over its territories, and more remote regions quickly soon to rebel in great numbers.
In the middle of this, an unknown group called VOID began to amass power at a frightening rate, and unafraid of involving civilians, they became known as the "dark destroyers".
It appears that a dark age in space is about to begin.
However, there were those brave few still willing to stand up against such evil: Hunters.
This is the story of Brian Light, one of those hunters.
Star Cruiser is a 3D action game with light RPG elements from the creators of Wibarm .
The player explores various labyrinthine locations on foot, interacting with NPCs and shops and fighting various alien and robotic enemies.
Combat takes place in real-time, consisting of basic first-person shooting.
Additionally, there are also space-flight battle and exploration segments where the player controls Brian's ship.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Star Cruiser for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Star Cruiser to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1990.
