    Fantastic turn based RPG with parts of the game playing homage to classic RPG'S like Chrono Trigger with action based elements added to battles. Beautiful game, I'm halfway through it and it is definitely worth the money for JRPG enthusiasts.

    The games fun to play but arrived slightly damaged on the spine. They need to use more bubble wrap or a bigger box.

    I just finished Sea of Stars and I now understand why it’s called a love letter to classic RPGs - it’s amazing! The combat is fun and intuitive with timed hits that keep you on your toes, and the story strikes a perfect balance of heartfelt, humorous, and genuinely surprising. Garl quickly became one of my favorite characters. The pixel art is stunning, every area feels alive, and the puzzles are clever without being frustrating. Plus, the soundtrack is phenomenal - some tracks even gave me Chrono Trigger vibes. If you love traditional RPGs or just want a great adventure, this game is a must-play.

    Solid turn base rpg with a good story to keep you engage. Sprinkle in some cooking and gathering mechanics with player customization , some fun combos. Whole different take on combat and defense with a timing button system, timing correctly those strikes to pull off some punishing combos or time those crucial defense moments to really save your party from those final blows. If your on the edge of grabbing sea of stars go ahead give it a try. You won’t be disappointed

    This game is a brilliant homage to turn-based RPGs of old, yet it has modern flair to gameplay, controls, and quality of life aspects. It doesn’t overstay its welcome, but doesn’t feel too short. The story is captivating enough, and the visual style is amazing. Plus, there’s a huge FREE DLC they just released in 2025. Highly recommended!

    I embarked on this interstellar adventure, “Sea of Stars” promised a universe of possibilities and delivered a galaxy of enjoyment. The game is a masterful blend of nostalgic RPG elements and modern design, creating an experience that feels both familiar and fresh. The narrative is a tapestry woven with threads of epic quests and personal tales, all set against the backdrop of a beautifully crafted pixel art world. The turn-based combat is intuitive yet deep, rewarding strategic thinking and experimentation. With each battle, I felt more connected to the characters and their journey through the cosmos. Exploration is a joy in “Sea of Stars,” with secrets hidden in every corner of its expansive world. The puzzles are clever and satisfying to solve, and the soundtrack is an auditory delight that perfectly captures the essence of adventure. In short, “Sea of Stars” is a shining example of what the RPG genre can offer. It respects the player’s time, ignites their curiosity, and keeps them engaged from the opening scene to the final credits. Whether you’re a long-time fan of RPGs or a newcomer to the genre, “Sea of Stars” is a title that should not be missed. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! It’s a must-play for any Nintendo Switch owner looking for a deep, engaging, and visually stunning RPG experience.

    Having growing up in the 90's playing rpg on super nintendo. This takes me back giving me those feels like when a kid. Plays similar to chrono trigger. This game also incorpates other elements and innovation setting it apart from similiar games. Really like gameplay and the graphics really prettt pixel art. Recently played chained echoes was able to get into this more. Both excellent. This is a excellent well made game for people looking for a old school rgp experience.
