Description

Funbox Media, in collaboration with Eastasiasoft and Decafesoft, has announced the highly anticipated physical release of Starlight Legacy for the Nintendo Switch.

This move comes after the game's initial arrival as a digital-only title earlier this year, now extending its reach to collectors and fans across both North America and Europe with a tangible edition.

Starlight Legacy stands as a return to the golden era of 16-bit JRPGs, drawing inspiration from genre classics.

Developed by Decafesoft, this unique non-linear adventure invites players into the immersive world of the Evaria Kingdom.

With its stunning 2D pixel art and nostalgic turn-based battle system, the game offers a harmonious blend of retro aesthetics and modern advancements. Set in a post-medieval landscape, players traverse the interconnected provinces of Evaria, each of which can be explored in any order, underscoring the game's non-linear design.

The narrative centers on decades of peace and prosperity, maintained by the magical Eternity Tree, which purifies and nurtures the kingdom's soil, water, and air.

However, tensions rise following a ban on magic education, spurring a separatist movement aimed at liberating the Sky Province. Players step into the roles of Ignus and Teryl, warriors dispatched on a royal mission.

Their quest soon takes an urgent turn when a catastrophic attack leaves the Eternity Tree withered, threatening the stability of the entire kingdom.

It falls to the protagonists to restore this vital source of life, embarking on a grand journey through lush dungeons, towns, and open fields. The gameplay is distinguished by several notable features: - Search for relics essential to rejuvenating the Eternity Tree. - Experience seamless exploration with no load times as you navigate between various environments. - Confront enemies and bosses that scale with player progress, supporting replayability and challenge. - Engage in classic menu-driven, turn-based combat, refined for modern tastes. - Soar across the expansive world map with integrated 3D flight segments. Ben Lim, Publishing Director at Funbox Media, commented in a press statement, "We are excited to partner with Decafesoft and Eastasiasoft to meet fan demand for a physical release of Starlight Legacy, making the title accessible to collectors and a wider audience on Nintendo Switch." The physical edition of Starlight Legacy for Nintendo Switch is scheduled to launch on November 7, 2025, in both North America and Europe.

This release will further solidify the title's standing among modern retro-inspired RPGs available on the Nintendo eShop and through retail channels.

For those seeking a throwback JRPG experience enhanced for modern platforms, Starlight Legacy promises hours of compelling adventure.
