During the flurry of Black Friday deals, one gem for fans of old-style RPGs is “Sea of Stars,” which showcases stunning 16-bit pixel art and offers a nostalgic journey full of excitement and a captivating storyline.
For those eager to dive into this adventure, the game is now available for a reduced price of $25, down from $35, on platforms like Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X. This timing is perfect since a recent update introduced a three-player couch co-op mode, enhanced battles, and several user-friendly improvements.
Jason Fanelli, in his review for GameSpot, praised “Sea of Stars” by saying, “Sea Of Stars is a classic SNES-era turn-based RPG that holds up next to the titans of the era… Sea Of Stars has an impeccable sense of craft that helps it stand tall alongside them.” It’s fascinating how a game can capture the essence of the past while still feeling fresh today.
People love collecting things that connect them to their favorite games.
An official art book complements “Sea of Stars” beautifully, featuring gorgeous illustrations by Bryce Kho, the lead concept artist. Released earlier this year, it’s currently available for $39 instead of $50. The hardcover book spans 272 pages and contains character, world, and lore illustrations, with a cover adorned with metallic highlights over the game’s main characters, Valere and Zale.
Not just “Sea of Stars,” but many JRPGs are seeing price drops this Black Friday. Fans of the genre can also snag “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” for $40, originally priced at $70, or pick up “Persona 5 Royal” on PS5 and “Star Ocean: The Second Story R” for just $20 each.
Black Friday brings incredible JRPG deals for the Switch, PS5, and Xbox, making it a great time to expand your gaming library.
