Star Fetchers follows Sanyati, a former shop clerk, and Zambezi, an ambitious gang leader, as they work their way up through a crime-ridden city. Their pursuit of status brings them into conflict with rival gangs and the strange forces tied to the Gray Zone.
This side-scrolling action adventure centers on fast sword fights. Players guide the blade with the mouse to attack and deflect bullets, while jumping, stomping, and using character-specific moves such as a dash or kick.
The pilot moves through stages and boss encounters, interspersed with conversations and optional encounters with the city's residents. A later section lets players choose between two characters with different abilities, and the story mixes gang rivalries with surreal comedy and conspiracy themes.
Players who enjoy the pilot often point to its distinctive pixel-art style, soundtrack, offbeat humor, and memorable characters. Some also find the unusual sword combat exciting once they get used to it, while others describe the controls and fights as awkward or frustrating. Many reviews also express interest in seeing the story continue.
