Knives Studio is set to release a demo for their turn-based SRPG, 'Stardust: Stars and Witches', on the 20th via Steam and STOVE.

Stardust: Stars and Witches takes the classic foundations of the SRPG genre and combines them with modern combat systems and visual presentation. The game follows the adventures of the rambunctious warrior 'Star' and her childhood friend, the mage 'Yuu', adding a layer of card-based variables to turn-based strategy.

Drawing inspiration from classic SRPGs like 'Farland Tactics' and 'Tactics Ogre', the game features protagonists who can utilize various skills tailored to their jobs and concepts. In addition to the melee warrior Star and the mage Yuu, companions with samurai and ninja concepts will also appear.

The demo, releasing on the 20th, offers approximately 1 to 1.5 hours of gameplay, introducing the early story and the combat styles of the main characters. Players can experience turn-based combat that combines 2D animated ultimate skill cutscenes with card-based counter and combo systems.

Stardust: Stars and Witches is scheduled for a PC release in the second quarter of 2026 and will officially support the Korean language. For more details on Stardust: Stars and Witches, please visit the Steam store page.
