New adventures await in Sea of Stars
Fans of JRPGs are in for a treat as the beloved title Sea of Stars introduces its latest DLC, The Throes of the Watchmaker. This update promises to enhance the already engaging gameplay with new adventures set in a whimsical clockwork circus dimension known as Horloge. Scheduled for release as a free update on May 20th, this content will attract both seasoned players and newcomers eager to dive into its enchanting world.
What to expect from the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC
The Throes of the Watchmaker DLC isn’t just a simple addition; it’s a significant expansion that extends the storyline beyond the main game. Players will reunite with the original protagonists, Zale and Valere, who have now taken on new roles as a Juggler and an Acrobat, respectively. This change not only fits the big-top aesthetic but also promises new gameplay mechanics that enhance their abilities and interactions.
In this new adventure, players will encounter a range of quirky villains led by the formidable Puppeteer, a character poised to challenge players with a mix of humor and difficulty. The return of familiar yet transformed characters is sure to resonate with loyal fans, while the introduction of new gameplay elements will keep the experience fresh.
The introduction of new characters
Joining the team is a new character named Arty, also known as The Artificer. Arty is a robotic companion designed with a unique frog-like appearance reminiscent of classic characters from games like Chrono Trigger. With his advanced capabilities and fun design, Arty is set to bring a new dynamic to team battles, allowing for exciting combination attacks that promise to enrich the gameplay experience.
Musical contributions elevate the experience
Music plays a critical role in any game, and the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC is no exception. The original composer, Eric W. Brown, returns to lead the soundtrack, ensuring that the new content retains the captivating melodies that fans have come to love. Additionally, famed composer Yasunori Mitsuda, known for his work on Chrono Trigger, will make a special guest appearance on the soundtrack. This collaboration is expected to produce an auditory experience that enhances the whimsical atmosphere of the game.
Previous updates and future prospects
The upcoming expansion follows last year’s significant update, Dawn of Equinox, which introduced numerous enhancements including combat tweaks and a full Québécois localization. With these improvements, Sea of Stars has solidified its position as a must-play title in the JRPG genre. This new DLC is likely to serve as a fitting send-off for the game as the studio, Sabotage, prepares to shift focus to their next project.
Availability and pricing details
Mark your calendars for May 20th—this is when The Throes of the Watchmaker DLC will be available for free. The base game can currently be found on Steam priced at £29.50/$35, with discounts available for those who have purchased The Messenger.
