One man's junk is another man's galactic battleship...
In this addictive arcade-style twin stick space shooter, you (a disgruntled waste collector) salvage the debris from each round of your destructive rampage to piece by piece transform your humble space-garbage-truck into a starship worthy of your cause.
Build increasingly better ships to unleash powerful weapons and gadgetry -- lasers, giant ball-and-chains, anti-gravity orbs, heat seeking missiles, magnets, freeze rays and more -- against endless waves of enemies and huge, modular bosses.
You'll never survive. But if you're going down, you're taking as many of them with you as you can. See how long you can continue the anarchy!

4.5/5 -- TouchArcade.com #1 Paid App (Dec 11th, 2013) "...you'll find this game incredibly rewarding. There's a bit of an art to playing this game well, and that's something that doesn't come along terribly often"
Editor's Choice, TouchGen.net "...an incredibly fun hectic romp in space where you smash, shoot and laser anything that moves ... a game well worth sinking your time and money into"
4/5 -- 148apps.com "Starborn Anarkist is the perfect example of classic arcade game goodness, with a sprinkling of zany madness."
9/10 -- Gamereactor.dk "When I first turned on the game, it ate up four hours of my evening. Starborn Anarkist is simply a small mobile-pearl." [translated]

8 of 15I have played Anarkist on and off for a few years now and have completed every achievement and unlocked every single ship part in the game. I just wish it would be updated and advertised once in a while. There are so few creative space ship building games on iOS that are free. The reason I still play it today, even after having finished all the content, is that it is a pice of art and not just a product designed to addict new players into buying in-game content. It has its flaws, but everything can be unlocked through some effort and all the important stuff works. The only reason it has so few reviews is that the name of the game is obscure and it won’t make the Apple a ton of money because IT HAS NO ADS. I know it is a small game but it deserves more and it would have a lot more reviews if it was fairly advertised by the App Store.
I’ve only got a few hours in but I’m really liking it. Despite the change in genre, it’s a good replacement for old and defunct twin-sticks like GunBros. The only thing keeping it from 5 🌟 is the lack of MFI/Xbox/PS4 controller support.
I can not stress this enough how much fun this game is, if you got some time to burn it is easy to play and enjoyable with 69 achievements to unlock. I would love for this game to get a update, or maybe a second game like it, that would be amazing!

PLEASE REMOVE THE WEAPON FOLLOWING
I got two turrets The The bullet one and the missile One
This game is kind of good it’s kind of fun but the only problem with it is the drone bay it’s literally 200,000 pieces literally wasted why? Well because it does nothing I waited more than five minutes in a fight with other ships and nothing came out of it I literally wasted 200,000 pieces just for a piece of junk that does nothing please tell me if it actually does anything I tried it about three times still nothing comes out how come the anti-missile launcher works but this doesn’t I don’t understand
A game I come back to over and over! I will even occasionally uninstall and reinstall it so I can go through it from tiny ship to juggernaut again! Developer: work with the App Store to rerelease this gem and gain a who new following of players!
