How long is Sea of Stars? Total playtime

As video games continue to look more and more realistic, we are seeing an equally impressive trend of games that remind us of a bygone era. These games look, sound, and play like those from the era of the original Nintendo Entertainment System or Super Nintendo, but take advantage of the leaps and bounds made since then. Sea of Stars, developed by Sabotage Studio, looks to be one such game.

But, for those looking to make the leap into this classics-inspired, turn-based RPG, how long can you expect to spend exploring the world of Sea of Stars?

What is Sea of Stars about?

Sea of Stars centers on a pair of Children of the Solstice who must defeat a wicked alchemist known as The Fleshmancer. It is a turn-based RPG that removes the need for archaic institutions such as random encounters, traditional RPG grinding, and transitions between the overworld and battle scenarios.

Sea of Stars is now available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
