Evaluation

Sea of Stars launched on August 28, 2023 and received two major free post-launch updates: the Dawn of Equinox update on November 12, 2024 (which added 3-player couch co-op and quality-of-life improvements) and the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC on May 20, 2025 (delivering over 8 hours of new post-game content with new classes, bosses, and a circus-themed adventure). On June 8, 2026, Sabotage Studio published a post explicitly titled "Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition – The Final Update is Here!", stating that this marks the end of development for the game after seven years of work. The game's title on Steam has been updated to "Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition," reflecting this definitive, complete-package status. All three DLC items listed on the store — the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC, the OST, and the Digital Artbook — are released. No further content has been announced, and the developer has clearly communicated that the game's journey is complete.

About this game

Promising the Sabotage touch in every system, Sea of Stars aims to modernize the classic RPG 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.

Pressing the action button in sync with the animations increases damage output while reducing incoming damage. Along with timed hits, combat features multi-character combo attacks, boosting, and a strategic "locks" system offering options to play with different damage types in order to hinder enemies while they are channeling powerful attacks or spells, all in an immersive take on the genre; no random encounters, no transitions to separate battlefields, and no grinding.

Swim, climb, vault, jump off or hoist up ledges as you traverse seamlessly through the world with a navigation system based on platformer expertise that breaks free from the classic bound-to-the-grid tileset movement.

Our custom-made render pipeline allows the creation of a breathtaking world coming to life by pushing the limits of 2D pixel-art games.

Dozens of original characters and story arcs will take you on a captivating journey. 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.

There are many ways to hang out in the world of Sea of Stars if you feel the need for a change of pace in your adventures. 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.

Sea of Stars’ adventure is playable in its entirety by up to three players. Allies can drop in and out anytime to traverse the world together and master the Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic. Also available via Steam Remote Play Together.
