South Korean indie studio Kniv Studio has released the turn-based simulation RPG 'STARDUST: Wish of Witch' on Steam. The game blends traditional grid-based SRPG combat with a card battle system, and features pixel art animation. The soundtrack includes contributions from Mitsukiyo, KARUT, and seibin.
The game follows warrior Star and mage Yuu, childhood friends whose journey involves fighting over 'stars and destiny' and uncovering the secret of wish-granting stars. Combat relies on counters and combos executed through cards layered onto the traditional SRPG grid. Kniv Studio released the game alongside a story trailer and a soundtrack compilation video. The soundtrack credits Mitsukiyo and KARUT, both associated with 'Blue Archive', and seibin, who worked on 'Stellar Blade' and 'NIKKE'. Members of STUDIOALOH, led by Mitsukiyo, appear to have served as composers. The game is priced at 2,800 yen on Steam, with a 10% launch discount until June 12.
