Na eerder aangekondigde versies voor de PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 en PlayStation 5 heeft ontwikkelaar Sabotage Studio bekend gemaakt dat hun aankomende turn-based RPG Sea of Stars ook naar de Xbox One en Xbox Series zal komen.
Met Sea of Stars wil de studio, bekend van The Messenger, een ode brengen aan het genre. Met de combat willen ze spelers uitdagen om verschillende strategieën te gebruiken en te wisselen tussen een zestal personages, ieder met hun eigen vechtstijl en persoonlijkheid.
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 verschijnt op alle systemen op 29 augustus.
