I would never have guessed that any RPG would speak to me so strongly. I feel that nothing else will make a similar impression on me for a long time, and I will definitely give other games in this genre a chance. Thank you, Sabotage Studio! This is a masterpiece!

Sea of Stars is an old-school JRPG, cut on modern molds, which because of its dragging and template solutions turns from a fun adventure into a routine work.

This is one of those games that comes along every once in a great while, and I can’t recommend it enough to absolutely everyone. Whether or not you’re well versed in the genre, you should absolutely hop onboard and get ready to sail the Sea of Stars. If not for yourself, do it for Garl.

Many companies would love to release a game that entertains users in such a direct and quality way, a title that takes the audience on a journey to golden times of the past, without remaining imprisoned in meaningless nostalgia.

Sea of Stars is a successful, if not excellent, experiment. The two young protagonists fail to stand out, as does the villain of the tale, but during the journey one meets well-written characters who contribute to an interesting plot. The dynamic turn-based combat system manages to be innovative and keep you engaged without being too repetitive, even if it is not entirely convincing. The art direction is the jewel in the crown of Sabotage Studio's title, thanks to its well-rendered and brightly coloured pixel art. Recommended for those looking for a ‘cozy game’ in which to immerse themselves for some forty hours.
