Starlight Legacy

Starlight Legacy is a non-linear pixel art RPG in which you explore the four provinces of the Evaria Kingdom and collect four Starlight Relics in any order. The relics are needed to restore the fallen Eternity Tree. In the capital, Kingdom Capital, four bridges lead to different provinces, and you choose which one to visit first.

The Evaria Kingdom

Unrest is growing in the kingdom. A separatist movement in Sky Province seeks independence from King Lennox’s rule, after the teaching of magic was banned in the province’s schools for over a century. The King refuses to change the law, and the separatists have taken control of two towns. Public opinion is divided between those who sympathize with their cause and those who support the King because of the separatists’ violent methods. Three warriors become caught in the conflict.

The order in which you visit the provinces affects how you experience each one. Outdoor areas connect seamlessly without loading screens. After collecting all four Starlight Relics, you can fly through the skies in a Mode 7-inspired 3D environment and reach several otherwise inaccessible areas.

Explore and travel

Each province holds helpful key items:

• Rock Hammer: break brittle rocks.
• Raft: cross rivers.
• Magic Carpet: travel quickly.
• Flute: warp to any town you have visited.
• Ocarina: summon something.

Turn-based battles

Battles use a turn-based system with commands including Attack, Magic, Defend, Items and Skills. Every character and magic spell has one of five elements: Fire, Ice, Earth, Metal or Plant. Elemental gems let you change a character’s element, and magic becomes more powerful when its element matches the caster’s.

Skills and summons

You can unlock 15 skills, divided into active and passive types. Active skills are special moves used in battle; Frenzy, for example, lets a character attack an enemy multiple times in one turn. Passive skills affect stats: Power Boost increases attack damage by 50%, but costs the character 1/16 of their HP each turn.

The Summon skill calls a creature you have defeated and recorded in your Bestiary. Depending on the creature, it may attack enemies, heal allies or provide other effects, and you can summon bosses as well.
