Developer Sabotage Studio has announced that the fantasy RPG Sea of Stars will be available on PlayStation Plus at launch at the Extra and Premium tiers.
From the stunningly vibrant graphic design to the inventive RPG systems, everything disclosed about Sea of Stars has piqued the interest of many players. Sea of Stars is not only developed by the same team who created The Messenger, but it also takes place in the same world, thousands of years before the events of the latter game.
Will Sea of Stars be on PS Plus?
Yes, Sea of Stars will be available on PlayStation Plus. The PlayStation demo for Sea of Stars gives a taste of what PS Plus Extra and Premium members will be able to enjoy for free next month. (The game would cost $34.99.) It's a bold approach that will attract more early adopters, but it's understandable given that Sea of Stars will also be available on Game Pass for Xbox and PC on the same day. In other words, if you have a Game Pass or the top two tiers of PlayStation Plus, you can expect to play a brand-new RPG for free when it launches.
What happens in Sea of Stars?
The events of Sea of Stars take place thousands of years before the events of The Messenger. It focuses on two heroes, Zale and Valerie, who harness the power of the sun and moon to confront an alchemist named The Fleshmancer. They join forces with four other adventurers whom you will be able to command.
Sea of Stars Gameplay
It's a role-playing game with a turn-based system. You'll love this game if you like Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, or Chrono Trigger. It's heavily inspired by the games mentioned above.
Aside from its beautiful graphic design and celestial themes, the fluency of its gameplay is certainly noteworthy. Because you can time assaults and push buttons to decrease incoming attacks, it's as stiff or rigid as other turn-based RPGs. You're an active participant in the battle rather than a passive viewer.
The settings are interactive, with opportunities to sail, swim, and climb. It's not a basic side scroller, as most RPGs are. Additionally, cooking, fishing, and minigames have also been confirmed.
