Verspark Sea of Stars Review
Dec 24, 2024
8.2/10
Finished - 02/11/2023
Time To Beat - 48h
Notes:
Very good story with a well thought out world and backstory
Great, innovative attack system, but sometimes timed hits and blocks are nearly impossible/ extremely unintuitive/ random to do, especially on moonerang ability & attacks with multiple hits
Marvellous art style
Resh'an's vial of time has a timed hit which is hard to get used to, but when you do, it is incredibly useful
Both endings were very unsatisfactory - Zale and Valere just leave to kill a random monster and (nearly) never come back again
Very odd choice to have Resh'an just go away after some part of the game
Many things cannot be found without tutorials
Bouncy achievement if found at end would be extremely annoying to do
Achievement to defeat ten bosses with the artful gambit amulet also brings the score down as it adds a couple of hours of playtime without anything new
Random animated cutscenes through game - would be better if there were none or a lot more
Overall a pretty good game with a well thought out story and attack system, but many things feel unfinished or just forced in.
