Stacking Those Accolades in 2023
Sea of Stars has been recognised by a number of gaming awards this season including Best Indie Game at The Game Awards 2023 and Best Indie Game at the Golden Joysticks. The game has not only been gaining accolades in only gaming industry awards but went on to also be recognised as one of the top 60 best games of 2023 by BAFTAs (British Academy Film and Television Awards). Sabotage has also shared it gained 25 perfect review scores.
The Future is in the Stars
In case you missed it, Sea of Stars was a Kickstarted pixel-graphic RPG with turn-based combat that launched this year on August 29th. It’s inspired by classic turn-based RPGs but brings its own exploration twist with options to not only explore on foot but run, swim, climb or even jump.
The title does have a DLC planned which was a stretch goal of the Kickstarter campaign, called Throes of The Watchmaker. It will be a full-side adventure featuring the Watchmaker and a “clockwork conundrum”. So far no release date has been announced so it could be some time off. There’s also a possible further DLC being teased but no solid confirmation on that one yet.
Director of Sabotage Thierry Boulanger has touched upon a possible spinoff game in the same universe as Sea of Stars, but maybe in a different genre. For now, they will focus on the first DLC. Further content is coming in the form of Single-Player+ which adds co-op elements.
Sea of Stars is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. If you have yet to try out the game there is currently a demo on Steam.
