Flowstone Saga, a new 16-bit Japanese game, is now out on Steam. It features a combat system that allows players to switch between real-time and turn-based combat, incorporating puzzle mechanics. Players battle pirates, giant beetles, and a mysterious axolotl.
The roleplaying game transports players into the world of Ocean’s End, where they take on the role of Mirai, a spirited heroine on a journey of discovery.
In addition to building her party and the town of New Riverstone, Mirai must embrace her newfound powers to overcome a range of challenges in the pixel world.
Key features include:
- Multiple biomes.
- Accessibility features, including multiple difficulty levels and a turn-based “Hold” mode.
- The ability to expand and personalise the hub town of New Riverstone.
- Quirky mini-games.
- Co-op assist mode, allowing friends to join the battle.
- Customisation options, including equipment, perk trees, and job systems.
