Sea of Stars Sets Sail on iOS and Android April 7
The critically acclaimed RPG Sea of Stars is officially heading to mobile. Publisher Playdigious and developer Sabotage Studio have announced that the beloved adventure will launch on iOS and Android on April 7.
Originally released in 2023, Sea of Stars quickly earned a reputation for modernizing the classic turn-based RPG formula while honoring the traditions that defined the genre. Now, players will be able to experience its sun-and-moon-powered journey wherever they go.
Built for Mobile From the Ground Up
This is not a simple port. The mobile version of Sea of Stars introduces revamped touch controls designed specifically for phones and tablets, ensuring that combat and exploration feel natural on smaller screens.
Playdigious has confirmed several mobile-focused features:
- Revamped mobile-exclusive controls
- Cloud saves
- Full controller support
- iOS phone optimization
- Platform-specific achievements
These additions make it easy for players to move between devices and maintain progress, while still enjoying a polished mobile experience.
A Modern Classic RPG Adventure
In Sea of Stars, players take control of Valere and Zale, two Children of the Solstice destined to combine the powers of the sun and moon. Their Eclipse Magic is the only force capable of defeating the monstrous creations of the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.
Across a beautifully crafted archipelago of pixel-art islands, players will:
- Engage in turn-based combat without random encounters
- Explore seamlessly without separate battle screens
- Solve puzzles and uncover secrets
- Sail, cook, fish, and unwind in lively taverns
The design philosophy is clear. Respect the classics, but remove the frustration.
Combat That Rewards Skill, Not Grinding
Combat remains one of Sea of Stars’ strongest pillars. Battles feature:
- Timed hits
- Combo attacks
- Boosting mechanics
- A strategic “locks” system
Encounters unfold directly within the world, without transitions to separate battlefields. There is no grinding required to progress. Instead, success depends on strategy, timing, and smart use of abilities.
A World Brought to Life With Dynamic Lighting
Sabotage Studio’s custom render pipeline pushes pixel art further than expected. Dynamic lighting effects breathe life into forests, oceans, dungeons, and villages, giving the 2D world a striking sense of depth and atmosphere.
The mobile version preserves this visual fidelity, ensuring that the game’s distinct look remains intact on smaller screens.
A Story That Balances Heart and Humour
At its core, Sea of Stars tells a story of friendship, destiny, and sacrifice. It moves confidently between epic, emotional, and occasionally playful moments, staying true to the studio’s creative identity.
The world is interactive and alive. Whether you are stopping at a tavern to listen to a song, fishing off a dock, cooking for your party, or playing the tabletop mini-game “Wheels,” every system feels intentional.

A Natural Fit for Mobile
With structured turn-based combat and seamless exploration, Sea of Stars is well suited for shorter play sessions without sacrificing depth. The addition of cloud saves and controller support means players can choose how they experience it, whether through touch controls or a traditional setup.
When it launches on April 7, a new wave of players will be able to discover one of the most celebrated RPGs of recent years in a format built for convenience, without compromising the craftsmanship that made it special in the first place.
