- Sea of stars is just launched for iOS and Android phones
- Indie RPG takes more than 30 hours to beat
- It’s only $8.99 thanks to a limited-time launch discount
One of the best role-playing games (RPGs) of 2023 has just launched for iOS and Android phones with a special limited-time launch discount.
Sea of stars is a beautiful indie RPG inspired by cult classics from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, e.g Chrono Trigger. In addition to some absolutely stunning pixel-art graphics and a great soundtrack, it features turn-based combat elevated by a battle system that’s easy to pick up, but very difficult to master.
Like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, timing is extremely important and there are offensive and defensive bonuses for pressing buttons at the right times when activating attacks or character skills.

Our Sea of stars review also praised the game’s witty script, which writer Cat Bussell said “has a cheeky irreverence reminiscent of indie classics Understatement.”
This new mobile port features an interface that has been redesigned for touch controls, the ability to share progress between your phones, and mobile controller compatibility. iPhone users can also unlock Game Center achievements and take advantage of iPhone 16 optimization.
According to the website howlongtobeatSea of stars takes over 35 hours to beat if you play through the main story and some of the side content (which includes a number of fun mini-games). This sounds like the perfect game to use in a portable format, and at the special launch price of $8.99 (down from $9.99 until next week) pretty excellent value too!
You can find the game in either the Google Play Store or the App Store today.
