SEA OF STARS SWITCH FULL
While that game was a retro platformer with a twist, set stylistically in a world full of ninjas, demons and magic, Sea of Stars is a very different game. Mostly cause I’m a fan of retro and indie, and especially enjoyed the premise and style of The Messenger, also by Sabotage. After watching the announcement for a new Kickstarter by Sabotage Studio, called Sea of Stars, I had a lot of questions.
