About the Game

Sparkle is a new story that immerses you in the adventures of Spiny and his friends. On the small planet Nisoria, three identical books have mysteriously appeared simultaneously in the kingdoms of Bastione, Partenia, and the empire of Flamnelly. This book tells the legend of the hero and the three warriors, a story about how, one day, three elemental warriors will summon the legendary hero destined to save the world. But not everything will happen as in the books... written by an unknown woman whose origins seem outside our little world.

You'll meet Aurora, the adopted daughter of the King of Bastione, who dreams of becoming a strong knight to protect her people. Alex, the son of a legendary warrior, who aspires to become so strong that his father will hear his exploits no matter where he is. Tony and his band of freedom pirates, accompanied by his best friend Xena. The princesses of Flamnelly and Partenia, inspired by legend, in search of the legendary hero. And Lotus, the child of the terrible and terrifying Lilith.

The combat system is reminiscent of the magnificent Dragon Quest series or the first Final Fantasy games, turn-based games where the composition of your team can make all the difference. New elemental magics based on the trinity of fire, water, and life. Not forgetting, of course, the perfect duality of Light and Darkness. A magical adventure where you can unleash blizzards, thunderous lightning, and even super-powerful eruptions!

A chapter system (inspired by Dragon Quest IV) to introduce you to each of the playable characters that will join your party. They all have a role to play in this great adventure. 8 playable protagonists who finally come together from chapter 9. A fully open world in the last chapter to prepare you for the ultimate battle!!

Finally, a promise: two epic battles brimming with power. Face the terrible Lilith in a duel of extreme difficulty, a true challenge. A final battle above the skies awaits you at the end of the adventure!
