About Starlight Legacy

Immerse yourself in a post-medieval realm within the Evaria Kingdom, traversing a sprawling kingdom meticulously crafted using beautiful 2D pixel art.

You have the freedom to roam through the four provinces of the kingdom, each one offering unique adventures, in any order you wish.

In the realm of Starlight Legacy, peace and abundance have flourished for many years within the four provinces of the Evaria Kingdom, all thanks to the miraculous Eternity Tree that nourishes and purifies the land, water, and air throughout the kingdom. However, a prohibition on magical learning has sparked dissent, giving rise to a rebellious faction aiming to free the Sky Province from Evaria’s rule.

The duo of warriors, Ignus and Teryl, are assigned a mission by the king: to retrieve a sword. Shortly after they set off, disaster strikes as the Eternity Tree begins to wither. Now, they must work diligently to revive the sacred tree in order to save the kingdom. This marks the beginning of an epic adventure across a unified fantasy world!
