Description

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.

Pressing the action button in sync with the animations increases damage output while reducing incoming damage. Along with timed hits, combat features multi-character combo attacks, boosting, and a strategic "locks" system offering options to play with different damage types in order to hinder enemies while they are channeling powerful attacks or spells, all in an immersive take on the genre; no random encounters, no transitions to separate battlefields, and no grinding.

Swim, climb, vault, jump off or hoist up ledges as you traverse seamlessly through the world with a navigation system based on platformer expertise that breaks free from the classic bound-to-the-grid tileset movement.

Our custom-made render pipeline allows the creation of a breathtaking world coming to life by pushing the limits of 2D pixel-art games.

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.

There are many ways to hang out in the world of Sea of Stars if you feel the need for a change of pace in your adventures. Sailing, cooking, fishing, stopping by a tavern to listen to a song or play the infamous tabletop game known as "Wheels".....every system has been designed to deliver an experience that pays respect to retro classics, while rethinking in some areas to offer a smooth and modernized experience.

Sea of Stars’ adventure is playable in its entirety by up to three players. Allies can drop in and out anytime to traverse the world together and master the Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic. Also available via Steam Remote Play Together.

I can't. I tried. You can't have an RPG with such appalling writing. It really sucks because you can see that a lot of work was put in other areas of this game. The pixel work is phenomenal, probably one of the best

Beautiful art and environments and you are rewarded for exploring them. Story is good, but starts slow. Combat is very good. If you liked such games in the Gameboy era, you will probably like this one, too. Great on the

The characters, sprite art, music, exploration, and story are good, but the combat and surrounding systems really get in the way of reaching these experiences. There are lots of options to customize your difficulty, and

This game is everything I want in turn based combat with an amazing story. There also is no achievement locking for making the game easier or harder, besides one achievement. I do not like most turn based combat games

Credit where credit is due: the pixel art is remarkable, world is rather pretty, and the music is solid. But DAMN, the writing is cheeks. Garl alone is absurdly annoying, constantly stealing the spotlight and having far
