Ontwikkelaar Sabotage lanceert vandaag de nieuwe RPG Sea of Stars, een game die een nostalgische RPG gevoel terugbrengt. Om de lancering van de game te vieren, is de onderstaande launch trailer vrijgegeven.
De internationale game media mocht van Sabotage eerder met de game aan de slag. De eerste reviewscores zijn inmiddels verschenen en zijn waanzinnig hoog. Sea of Stars haalt behoorlijk veel negens en zelfs enkele tienen. Op Metacritic heeft Sea of Stars momenteel een gemiddelde van 89 van de 100, wat heel goed is.

Dit zijn de key features van Sea of Stars volgens de ontwikkelaar:
- Dynamic Combat - With every encounter harboring threats deadly to the careless tactician, victory demands sharp timing, anticipation, and pre-emptive counters to ultra powerful attacks.
- Engaging Exploration – Climb, dive, swim and leap across a lush world brimming with life and hidden secrets, enjoying the journey between battles as much as the action itself.
- Gripping Story – Become acquainted with six playable characters with rich backstories, personalities, and varied motives as the mysteries of a troubled world come to light.
- All Fun, No Tedium – Enjoy combat without fear of hitting a wall and having to grind for experience or items; in Sea of Stars, defeat requires a change in battle plans, not hours of repetition to better the odds in a rematch.
- Rich Universe – A sprawling, lively land, Sea of Stars‘ hosting region can be enjoyed as a standalone story or a supplemental adventure for fans of The Messenger.
- Radiant Lighting – Dynamic light effects pairs with a world-influencing day / night cycle to make every area feel truly alive, pushing the traditional visual limits of classically-styled 2D pixel-art games; the only way to properly tell the story of heroes conjuring the powers of the Sun and the Moon.
Sea of Stars is vanaf nu speelbaar op de Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 en de PC via Steam. Leden van Xbox Game Pass en PlayStation Plus Extra/ Premium, kunnen vanaf nu ook aan de slag met de volledige game zonder extra kosten.
