Bounty Star is a distinctive over-the-shoulder 3D action game that merges high-octane, customizable mech combat with light farming and base-building simulation. Players assume the role of Clementine 'Graveyard Clem' McKinney, a deeply 'broken but powerful' ex-soldier and expert mech pilot grappling with guilt and addiction in the post-apocalyptic, Wild West-inspired Red Expanse. Clem operates as a bounty hunter, using her heavily customized Desert Raptor MKII mech to bring justice to the lawless land. The gameplay is split between brutal action assignments and serene homestead management, all tied together by a personal quest for redemption.

Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem: Map Size and Regions

The Red Expanse is a semi-open world setting with a Wild West atmosphere. Missions are primarily confined to small, repeated bounty maps with boundary walls, though the general environment is vast and features contrastive day/night lighting (reddish-brown during the day, phosphorescent purple flora at night).

Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem Skills & Upgrades Overview

Progression is split between mech and base management. Mech upgrades (engine, armor, augmentations) are purchased with bounty payouts. Homestead upgrades allow for the construction of utilities (water/power), fuel and ammo production (electrolyzers, ammo benches), and farming/cooking, all of which reduce deployment costs and increase profit.

    Story and Setting

    The game is set in the 'Red Expanse,' a post-post-apocalyptic American Southwest, plagued by violent criminals and dangerous beasts. The main arc follows expert mech pilot Clementine 'Graveyard Clem' McKinney as she seeks personal redemption after a catastrophic past event, using bounty hunting as a means to survive and eventually make enough money to leave the region.

  • label
    Top 3 Gameplay Mechanics
    1. 1. Thermal Management Combat: A core strategic mechanic. The mech's engine temperature rises with action; pushing it too far causes a vulnerable thermal shutdown. Players can leverage temperature proximity for buffs (high heat = fast melee; cold = fast guns). 2. Gun Cancel Tricks: Advanced combat techniques where players interrupt a melee attack animation with a firearm input to perform a mobile, damage-dealing trick (e.g., a backflip shotgun blast) that also reloads the firearm. 3. Homestead Simulation: A unique simulation layer where players manage their fuel, ammo, and food production through farming (including hydroponics) and cooking meals to create mission buffs, ensuring the bounty business remains profitable.
help_outline

Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem Frequently Asked Questions

  • help_outline What kind of game is Bounty Star?
    It is a single-player action-adventure game that mixes fast-paced, third-person mech combat with light base-building and farming simulation, set in a post-apocalyptic Wild West.
  • help_outline Does it have farming?
    Yes. Players can build gardens and a hydroponics system at their base to grow ingredients. Cooking meals with these ingredients provides temporary buffs for the next bounty mission.
  • help_outline What is the 'Thermal Management' system?
    It is a core mechanic where using mech abilities generates heat. Pushing the temperature too high causes a shutdown. Players must manage this heat, as the environment affects the base temperature, and strategic heat management grants powerful combat buffs.
  • help_outline Is the game open world?
    The setting is the Red Expanse, a semi-open world, but the core missions are linear, arena-style bounties. The open world primarily serves as a vast, atmospheric backdrop to travel through between objectives and the base.
