About

Promising the Sabotage touch in every system, Sea of Stars aims to modernize the classic RPG in terms of turn-based combat, storytelling, exploration and interactions with the environment, while still offering a hearty slice of nostalgia and good old, simple fun.
Key ingredients
Engaging turn-based combat - Combat gameplay includes active player input during attack animations (timed hits), multi-character combo attacks, boosting, and strategic defense options to hinder enemies while they are channeling a powerful attack or spell. For a more immersive experience, there are no random encounters or transitions to separate battlefields, and no grinding. Both navigation and combat happen in the same environment.
Unshackled traversal - Swim, climb, vault, jump off or hoist up ledges as you run through the world with a navigation system based on platformer expertise that breaks free from the classic bound-to-the-grid tileset movement.
Prequel story set in The Messenger’s universe - Dozens of original characters and story arcs will take you on a captivating journey. Sometimes epic, sometimes silly, and other times emotional, Sea of Stars does its RPG duty of exploring classic themes of adventure and friendship, while also being chock-full of the unexpected twists and events you’d expect from a Sabotage production.
Full-on dynamic lighting - Our custom-made render pipeline allows the creation of a breathtaking world coming to life by pushing the limits of 2D pixel-art games.
The Sabotage treatment on the turn-based RPG genre - Every system has been deeply analyzed to create an experience that pays respect to retro classics, while reworking some elements to offer a modernized experience free of irritants and timesinks.

Sea of Stars reviews and comments

Underrated
«Can’t stop playing»
«Constantly dying and enjoy it»
Sea of Stars starts strong with a tutorial that's way too long. The combat starts interesting and you start getting the hang of the sync abilities and whatnot and you can't wait to get more abilities... right? That's the thing,you play with the same abilities throughout almost all game (I played for about 12 hours before giving up in the isles chapter). The OST is awesome and the pixel art is pretty great, but that's it really. Even the story was very stale.
«Sit back and relax»
«OST on repeat»
A visual masterpiece and an instant classic.

PRO:
- visuals and distinct charme
- music
- level design
- companions
- combat system

CONS:
- rushed ending
- mediocre dialogues and story
- boring item farming for "true" ending
- barebones town expansion

Outsanding music, great level design and a decent fighting system are well worth the asking price.

Last third of the game feels rushed and the fate of some characters is barely mentioned or relegted to the "true" ending, which requires boring item grinding.

Pre final boss wave of sidequests thrown at the player to explore the world one more time feels a bit cliché and considering the jokes made on other RPG tropes in the game itself, it sort of backfires a bit.

Support talented indie developers and buy it.
