A Love Letter to RPGs
Sabotage Productions is releasing a brand new title called Sea of Stars. The title will be available on Steam and the Nintendo Switch and is coming out next year during the holiday season.
Sea of Stars is an RPG reminiscent of RPGs from the ’80s and ’90s. The game is being developed by Sabotage Productions, the indie studio behind The Messenger. Sea of Stars is in the same universe as The Messenger, but the stories are different. You do not need to play The Messenger to understand and enjoy Sea of Stars.
The game was announced during Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase that streamed live on Youtube a few days ago. Though it’s not a Nintendo exclusive, the company still dedicated a good chunk of time to show off the game during the live stream. Sea of Stars is also being promoted on Nintendo’s website.
The website reads, “A story rich adventure. 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.”
The game’s mechanics are very reminiscent of old-school RPGs while also having a modern polish to them. Just like its predecessor, Sea of Stars uses a turn-based battle system that involves magic and damage types. Unlike the games that came before it though, Sea of Stars doesn’t have random encounters or excessive grinding.
Based on what’s been shown during the Indie Showcase, it looks like this game is a passionate love letter to the RPGs of the 1980s and 1990s. Are you excited for Sea of Stars? Let us know in the comments.
