## What is Sea of Stars?

Promising the Sabotage touch in every system, Sea of Stars aims to modernize the classic RPG formula in terms of turn-based combat, storytelling, exploration and interactions with the environment, while still offering a hearty slice of nostalgia and good old, simple fun.

It tells the story of two Children of the Solstice who will combine the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of fending off the monstrous creations of the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.

Traverse seamlessly through the world with a navigation system that breaks free from the classic bound-to-the-grid tileset movement and fight enemies in an immersive take on the genre; no random encounters, no transitions to separate battlefields, and no grinding.

FEATURES
- Engaging turn-based combat: Along with timed hits, combat features combo attacks, boosting, and a strategic "locks" system, all in an immersive take on the genre; no random encounters, no transitions to separate battlefields, and no grinding.
- Full-on dynamic lighting: Our custom-made render pipeline allows the creation of a breathtaking world coming to life by pushing the limits of 2D pixel-art games.
- A story-rich adventure: 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.
- A world you can touch: Sailing, cooking, fishing, stopping by a tavern to listen to a song or play the infamous tabletop game known as "Wheels"... every system has been designed to deliver an experience that pays respect to retro classics, while rethinking in some areas to offer a smooth and modernized experience.

CAREFULLY REDESIGNED FOR MOBILE
- Revamped interface – exclusive mobile UI with complete touch control
- Game Center achievements
- Cloud Save – Share your progress between iOS devices
- Compatible with MFi controllers
- iPhone 16 Optimization (including Pro Max)

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-26, version 3.0.60158*

This game is absolutely AMAZING!! With how much story and gameplay there is, it wouldn’t be just $10. I’d easily pay 30-40 just for this game with how much content it gives us!! I used to play this game on my console before it got taken off, so I never got to experience a lot of the things I can/have now with it on my phone, and I never thought it’d be this big. THANK YOU DEVS FOR MAKING THIS GAME 💜💜

### 3/5 — Not the greatest

*2026-08-21, version 3.0.60158*

I purchased this game and have had a little fun with it, the art is pretty and I love the music and the cool story, but ultimately I am dropping it because the fights (turn based) are very redundant, long, and boring. It’s the same characters making the same moves over and over. You can’t hardly explore the game without running into an enemy that will cause you to have a long boring fight. Maybe this game just isn’t for me.

### 4/5 — Controller Support

*2026-08-14, version 3.0.60158*

Please add controller support to this game, it would really benefit from it

### 1/5 — Keep crashing

*2026-08-12, version 3.0.60158*

The game keeps crashing at the evermist landing right after the elder mist fight. Looks like a great game, but seems unplayable on iPad.

### 5/5 — 10/10 Requesting DLC

*2026-08-12, version 3.0.60158*

Sea of Stars on mobile is amazing. Touch controls are very simple and comfortable and the controller support makes this that much better. I’m loving the experience and hope to see DLC content in either a future update or in app purchase. Totally recommend and hope to see the full experience come to life on mobile. Thank you!!!!

### 4/5 — Wow

*2026-08-05, version 3.0.60158*

Great game! Really wish I could play my music while playing it though, music stops when playing the game… I would love if I could have my music playing while I hear the sfx from the game 🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2026-07-29*

J’espère qu’il y aura le dlc sur cette version !

### 5/5 — Really good port

*2026-07-29*

Very cool game, absolutely love the art style, the pixel art, the combat is unique but gets a little stale after a while, rest of the critique, comes with the ending, but 100% worth the experience.

### 5/5 — Ein Meisterwerk

*2026-07-28*

Ich spiele es nun zum 5ten Mal durch um lv 30 zu bekommen und das wahre Ende zu sehen.

Bitte gebt uns auch den DLC bitte bitte bitte 😢

### 5/5 — Love the old school style

*2026-07-27*

I love the game 
FF7 Vibes :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
