Iam8bit Sea of Stars, Nintendo Switch, E10+ (Alle 10+), Fysisk medium

Sabotage Studio has made a reputation of blending retro aesthetics with modern game design methods to create new, wholly original experiences like The Messenger — something we here at iam8bit absolutely adore. And their latest game is their most ambitious masterwork yet.

So you can see why we’re practically bursting with excitement about this announcement. iam8bit and Sabotage have teamed up to bring you Sea of Stars on glorious physical media — exactly the way that a loving tribute to ‘90s-era RPGs should be experienced.

Sea of Stars pays homage to the great RPGs of the genre’s golden age, but with distinctly Sabotage-style twists that modernize the experience in electrifying ways; seamless platformer-style traversal through a gorgeous overworld, engaging and innovative tweaks to classic turn-based combat, dozens of original characters aboard in a captivating, epic tale, and breathtaking, crisp 2D pixel-art that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on a screen.

Get ready for the turn-based RPG you never even dreamed was possible, presented with all the love & care that only an iam8bit Exclusive Edition can provide and busting at the brim with physical goodness like a retro-style game manual, a double-sided poster featuring original artwork and an oversized world map, character sprite stickers and a (not so physical, but still fantastic) digital download code of the entire games soundtrack, featuring music by Eric W. Brown, Yasunori Mitsuda, Vincent Jackson Jones II and Reece Miller.

PLEASE NOTE: While our Exclusive Edition offers worldwide compatibility, there may be some compatibility difficulties with DLC in other regions. If you’re interested in any future DLCs for Sea of Stars, we recommend looking for a retail copy compatible with your region via our website here.
