Starcleave Frontier FAQ
Quick answers about the free online pixel RPG Starcleave Frontier.
What is Starcleave Frontier?
Starcleave Frontier is a free online pixel-art adventure RPG that runs in a web browser. You pick one of six heroes, level up by absorbing star essence, explore six biome rings, clear star crater dungeons, farm, own and decorate a woodland house, and play with others through chat, parties, trading and open-world PvP.
Is Starcleave Frontier free?
Yes. It is completely free to play: no purchase, subscription or download. Optional donations help keep the servers running.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. It runs in any modern web browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Open starcleave.cloud-ip.cc and press play.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Phones and tablets get a touch layout with a joystick, an attack button, an ability bar and a run toggle. Hold your phone in landscape.
Is it multiplayer?
Yes. With a free account you share one world with other players: the same monsters, the same day and night, World, Party and Private chat, friend lists, parties of up to four and player trading. You can also play offline in single-player.
Is there PvP?
Yes, open-world PvP. Outside towns and homestead yards players can attack each other. Towns and yards are safe zones, and party members cannot hurt each other. Falling in battle costs some of the gold you carry, never your gear.
How is my progress saved?
With a free account your hero is saved to the cloud automatically every few seconds. Playing offline saves in your browser. An account can only be active on one device at a time, so a new login signs out the old one.
Which heroes can I play?
Six heroes: Saber (balanced swordfighter), Mage (star caster), Archer (ranged hunter), Lancer (reach fighter), Paladin (armored tank) and Assassin (swift striker). Each has six abilities including a heal, a guard and an ultimate. See the game guide for details.
How do I get a house?
Buy a Woodland House Key at any town market, find an abandoned house in the pine woods and open its boarded-up door. Farm its field, upgrade it from Shack to Manor and decorate the inside by placing and rotating furniture.
What are star craters?
Every night stars fall and open crater dungeons ranked from ★1 to ★7. Each is a multi-floor dungeon ending in a boss whose Echo you can bind as a companion.
