Play OverviewPlay Overview

Sea of Stars (2023) is an adventure role-play game about two children of the solstice who must combine the powers of the sun and moon to save the world. Play combines turn-based combat, storytelling, exploration and interactions with the environment. It stands out for the depth of the story and the integrated action elements more common in platforming games.

You choose between six unique playable characters, each with their own backstory, personal objectives, play style and affiliations. Battles are turned-based but still require some well-timed button presses to gain offensive and defensive advantages. There's also time for slower-paced play: sailing, cooking, fishing, and stopping by a tavern to listen to a song.

The result is a game that looks like a retro adventure but soon grows into an expansive saga. Through each character you meet you find out more about yourself and the world in which you live. It's a journey about friendship with some very unexpected twists.

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Violence and Fear. This game contains turn-based battle scenes featuring unrealistic violence between human-like and fantasy characters, with the use of both weapons and magical attacks. Characters flash when hit and damage is shown in the form of numbers but no visible injuries or blood are shown. Defeated enemies disappear, while the players' characters faint with stars around their heads until they are revived or the battle is over. Some of the larger enemies can be scary in nature, which younger children may find frightening. There is use of very mild terms such as 'damn'.

Skill Level

10+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. You need to be able to plan combat and also have good timing to enhance your performance. It's a game that requires exploration and getting around the world as well as understanding and memory for a wide range of characters.
