Rejoice, retro gamers! The enchanting turn-based RPG Sea of Stars is now available in a physical edition, bringing back memories of the genre’s golden era.
Physical Edition Inclusions
- Double-sided poster featuring stunning artwork
For those who missed out on the exclusive Nintendo Switch edition, the standard physical edition is still a worthwhile purchase, catering to all console platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox (backwards compatible), PS5, and PS4 (backwards compatible).
Critical Acclaim and Creative Vision
Sea of Stars has garnered critical accolades since its release last summer. “There are bits and pieces of those classics scattered throughout this game, but Sea Of Stars doesn’t just rest on the laurels of its predecessors,” wrote Jason Fanelli in GameSpot’s review.
Creative Director Thierry Boulanger expressed the significance of physical releases in “legitimizing” the game. “It’s a way for us to show that this is a project we’re proud of and that we think is worthy of a physical release,” he said.
Retro Revival with Modern Polish
The iam8bit physical release of Sea of Stars captures the nostalgic essence of SNES-era RPGs with inclusions like:
- Retro-style manual
- Full-color world map poster
- Exclusive double-vinyl soundtrack from renowned composers Eric W. Brown and Yasunori Mitsuda
Availability and Future Plans
The regular physical edition of Sea of Stars is now available in stores. The special iam8bit version, featuring the vinyl soundtrack, is expected to ship soon. Additionally, Boulanger revealed that DLC for the game is in development, promising further adventures in the captivating world of Sea of Stars.
Whether you’re a seasoned RPG enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, the physical release of Sea of Stars is a must-have for those who appreciate the nostalgic charm and innovative gameplay of classic turn-based RPGs.
