Sabotage Studio will release Sea of Stars, a turn-based RPG, in the summer of 2023 and it looks really cool.
A video promoting the release of Sea of Stars, an upcoming turn-based RPG, was released by Sabotage Studio earlier today. The game is based on classic RPGs of years past, complete with a retro art style. What’s really cool about this video is that it features the game’s composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Not only does Mitsuda talk briefly about his process for working on the game’s music, but we’re also given a sneak peek at the gameplay as he does so.
Check it out in the video below:
Sea of Stars is a turn-based RPG inspired by the classics. It tells the story of two Children of the Solstice who will combine the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of fending off the monstrous creations of the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.
