1H1D #139: Sea of Stars

Just the composer’s name alone has Tom intrigued.

If you want to request a game for our hosts to play, mentioning that it was “inspired by Chrono Trigger” is a strong place to start, but noting that Tom’s favorite composer contributed ten tracks to the soundtrack might be an even more powerful strategy. Amazingly, both are true in the case of this retro-inspired indie role-playing game developed by Sabotage Studio, requested by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover Podcast. Conveniently, he was also available to be the special guest for this episode, so if the recommendation proves totally terrible, he is on hand to answer for his crimes! That said, if the studio’s prior game “The Messenger” is any indication, it seems more likely that this game will have a strong nostalgic foundation and incorporate new mechanics that bring a classic genre into the modern era of gaming. Well, that's enough speculation! All three hosts have played the first hour of the game and they are now ready to make an important decision. Will this game deliver on the promised hype? It’s time to find out!
