Fans of retro-RPGs have something to celebrate as the hugely anticipated title Sea of Stars is now available across PC and consoles.

Since the game’s reveal during its successful Kickstarter in 2020, fans have been eagerly awaiting the launch and were delighted when the launch trailer recently revealed a new character, Seraï, the deadly assassin with the power to carve portals with her razor-sharp daggers. As well as this impressive character, players will also meet the lovable warrior cook, Garl.

The game has already earned more than 20 perfect review scores, with critics from around the world hailing this masterful modernization of the golden era of classic RPGs as “spectacular”.
