Sea of Stars
Vibes: Classic-inspired JRPG action with pretty pixel art and turn-based combat
Availability: August 29, 2023 on macOS, Windows, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
How about a turn-based JRPG with lovely pixel art, satisfying sound effects, and gorgeous environments? Sea of Stars hits in August 2023, and it looks like the kind of classic Final Fantasy experience I’ve been craving lately.
If you’re concerned that the combat might be a bit too demanding, there’s currently a demo available for Switch (any only Switch, unfortunately). But overall, Sea of Stars looks like it won’t be overly punitive . In combat, fallen allies will come back after enough turns, so death seems like a little more than a cooldown than the “time to panic” feeling you get in some turn-based battlers.
