STARDUST Now Available

STARDUST: Wish of Witch follows Star and Yu through a tactical fantasy story built around cards, counters, and combo-driven battles.

STARDUST: Wish of Witch is now available on PC via Steam. Developed and published by Kniv Studio Co., Ltd., the single-player strategy RPG mixes classic SRPG structure with pixel-art presentation, card-based combat tools, and a story centered on a wish-granting star.

STARDUST

The game follows Star, a tomboyish warrior, and Yu, her childhood friend and mage, as they set out on a fantasy journey tied to stars, fate, and the truth behind an old mystery.

Battles play out through turn-based tactical encounters, with party positioning, character skills, counters, combos, and skill cards shaping each fight. Ultimate abilities trigger 2D animated set pieces, giving major attacks a more cinematic punch without moving away from the game’s retro-inspired look.

STARDUST

STARDUST: Wish of Witch also leans into character growth and party-building, with companions joining the adventure as the story moves toward its final chapter.

The full version includes broader content than the earlier demo, including expanded background art, more enemy types, bosses, and a complete campaign.

For players looking for a new pixel SRPG with a brighter fantasy tone and a card-driven layer on top of grid-based tactics, this is one to keep on the Steam radar.
