Japanese publisher G-MODE has announced their latest classic game re-release, this time with Stella Deus: The Age of Alchemy.
The long-lost mobile phone spinoff is coming to Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch in Japan this week, on November 20th.
Originally developed by BBMF under supervision from Atlus, Stella Deus: The Age of Alchemy was a sequel to Stella Deus: The Black Spirit, both meant as companion mobile phone games. It has never been re-released, until now.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
The world is burdened with a destiny of destruction. Cherished friends, precious memories — this is our story.
Series Overview
This title is the mobile app version of the tactical role-playing game Stella Deus, originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2. It was initially adapted for Japanese flip phones (mobile phones with limited functionality, popular before the rise of smartphones).
Set after the events of Raven Spirits, this game features an all-new, original scenario. Don’t worry if you’re new to the series — it’s a fully standalone story anyone can enjoy.
With a hardcore difficulty designed to test even veteran players, embark on a new adventure across 50 challenging stages.
Game Story
A white mist called Miasma — it reduces all it touches to nothing. A continent engulfed in its sea, a world burdened with the fate of inevitable ruin.
A religion that embraces the end… Spirits that are bound to the laws of the world…
And alchemy, born from harnessing their power. The protagonists continue their journey, seeking a way to heal a dying world.
Game System
The game alternates between story and battle phases, advancing the narrative while testing your tactical skills. In battle, you’ll use an AP (Action Point) system to choose your actions strategically.
