Overview and Gameplay
A young survivor raised far from Earth becomes caught in an interplanetary crisis when hostile forces threaten the galaxy. Star Odyssey is a science-fiction RPG set across eight planets, combining top-down exploration, towns and dungeons with random, turn-based battles.
The party can include up to three characters. Progress comes through story events, experience levels, equipment and Force abilities. Combat also uses front and rear positions, so attacks may deal reduced damage across opposing rows. Characters can protect weaker allies or use an automatic attack option.
