As someone who’s a big fan of “The Messenger” when I heard that this game was made by the same dev, AND is directly connected to The Messenger, I instantly scooped it up, and boy am I glad I did.

The story and writing in this game is solid, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s endearing and serviceable.

This game is absolutely gorgeous, some of the greatest pixel art work in a long long time. Every area is unique, colorful and diverse. The music is also fantastic to boot.

The world on a gameplay level is pretty good, lots of rewarding stuff to find throughout, and it even has some nice dungeons with permanent overworld utility upgrades.

The biggest plus of this game is the gameplay. Sea of Stars has one of the best combat systems in a turn based RPG, period. It’s like Mario and Luigi on steroids. The lock system and the way the different abilities for the six characters interact with the lock system makes fights engaging and strategy heavy.

Now I’m just exited for the next game this dev puts out.
