Sea of Stars Shows Timed Hits in New Gameplay Clip

Sea of Stars developer Sabotage Studio released another of its weekly clips of its upcoming and charming pixel art RPG.

The video is very brief as usual but provides a look at one of the mechanics that you’ll encounter in the game, the ability to time hits.

Alongside timed blocks, it appears that Sea of Stars will offer you more than just sitting back and waiting as attacks happen.

You can watch the clip below.

The charming and highly-anticipated RPG inspired by JRPGs is coming to PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The game was supposed to be released this year during the Holiday season, but will instead launch in 2023 following a recent delay. At the moment, a firm release date has not been announced.
