Climbing, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in exploration and is well executed with animations and sound cues, with different heights of climbing ledges expertly woven with the level design with different tonal reach and color approaches.Ĭamping, either be it indoors or outdoors as long as there is a campfire, allows players to cook for survival and listen to spooky stories from NPC that goes by the name Teaks – although I noticed that the story remains fixed in the demo (just one so far). This also gives me less incentive to explore more of the city and the dungeons with less loot around. While swimming and jumping around the city grants a degree of exploration, I found that the options for discovering loot were limited to chests scattered throughout the city, which felt underwhelming compared to the forest exploration where you can gather more ingredients from herbs and foliage. Gameplay: On the exploration aspects – I am pleasantly surprised by the level of freedom allowed in exploring the city in this game. It’s becoming crystal clear that the developers have put a lot of love and care into this game, and I’m excited to see more. The character designs are also well made, with a diverse cast of characters, each with its own unique expressions, personalities, shapes, and sizes. It feels like playing a classic RPG like Breath of Fire, but with finer detailed environments and atmospheric lighting that truly bring the area to life, creating a atmospheric range of moods and emotions. Graphics – I do appreciate the love for pixel retro that has gone into the development of Sea Of Stars, combined with modernize refinements that give it finer details boost to the game.

So here’s a fast travel to the points of what I like playing the Sea Of Stars Demo so far. The Nintendo Switch released demo is definitely on my radar as it provides a tantalizing glimpse into the game’s features, including free-form exploration, stunning pixelated graphics, an enchanting soundtrack, and more. As a fan of retro-ish games like Breath Of Fire, my first impression of the trailers for Sea of Stars definitely hits home as it’s a beautiful game.
