Sea of Stars (Nintendo Switch) is a turn-based RPG developed and published by Sabotage Studio, inspired by classic 16-bit era role-playing games. It delivers a modern adventure with retro-style pixel art, a deep story, and strategic combat systems.
The game follows Valere and Zale, two Children of the Solstice who are trained as Solstice Warriors. Together, they use the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of resisting powerful creatures created by the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.
Players explore a rich fantasy world made up of islands, towns, dungeons, and hidden paths. Exploration is seamless, allowing swimming, climbing, vaulting, and sailing across environments while uncovering secrets and side activities such as cooking, fishing, and mini-games.
Combat is a major focus and uses a modern take on turn-based systems. Players time their attacks for bonus effects, combine character abilities, and strategically interrupt enemy actions using a “lock” system that requires matching specific damage types before enemies can cast powerful skills.
The Nintendo Switch version delivers the full story experience with portable play, allowing players to enjoy the adventure in handheld or docked mode.
