Do you want Sea of Stars to be as hard as Elden Ring or Dark Souls? You can do it like this with Artful Gambit and try git gud.
A new clip unveiled by the developers at Sabotage Studio shows off the “Ingenious Gambit,” an item you can activate in the “Relics” menu and turn the game into a time-critical nightmare. Your characters’ HP will be reduced by 95%, while enemies become invincible while casting. On the other hand, timed blocks will reduce the damage dealt to 1, while timed strikes will deal double damage.
This of course means that your margin for error is much more limited and you need to rely on timing and skill to survive.
On the other hand, if you want a comfortable storytelling experience, the Storytelling Charm is another relic that adds 100 to your HP and will automatically heal up to 75% of your HP pool after each battle.
There is a third item called the “Sequent Flare”, but the video doesn’t reveal what it is.
You can see it below.
