Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Establish a single dominant hero character in the center foreground and push the other two characters smaller into the background to create a clear focal point at tiny size.
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Incorporate a visible deckbuilding or grid-tactics visual cue such as cards, a hex grid, or a mech cockpit element to immediately differentiate the game from generic anime action titles.
  3. [title_readability] Remove the '2.0 OUT NOW!' promotional banner from the permanent capsule asset and instead use Steam's built-in promotional overlay tools so the base capsule remains clean and timeless.
  4. [genre_clarity] Introduce a background mech or tactical grid element that is large enough to read at small size, reinforcing the roguelike strategy identity alongside the character art.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Add 1–2 sentences explaining how the mech/pilot pairing creates unique synergies and how this differentiates StarVaders from other deckbuilders (e.g., 'Each pilot's abilities fundamentally reshape which cards and combos become viable, forcing you to rebuild your strategy with every new pairing').
  2. [hook_strength] Remove the all-caps 'ULTIMATE' or replace it with a more integrated phrase that emphasizes the fusion concept without shouting (e.g., '...seamlessly blends deckbuilding with grid-based tactics').
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a sentence explicitly inviting story-driven or narrative-curious players (e.g., 'Uncover the backstory of each pilot and the truth behind the invasion across 12 character-driven campaigns') to clarify that both strategy and narrative matter.
  4. [feature_communication] Expand the mech descriptions with one tactical example each (e.g., 'The Gunner's rapid-fire cards enable aggressive momentum builds, while the Keeper's summons reward careful setup and positioning') to help players envision playstyle differences.
