About the Game

✨Story✨

Baldona was once nothing but a teeny tiny nation, located far out in the wilderness.

But after a massive meteor shower, the people of Baldona acquired extraordinary powers, which came to be known as—star power!

From that moment on, Baldona began declaring itself "Envoy of the Stars" and formed an army to invade the neighboring countries.

 It was only a matter of time before Baldona had become the most powerful empire on the continent...

You are Sid, a child who lost his parents during the war.

After losing everything and with no will to live, you were just wandering around looking for a place to die.

But the gods refused to give up on you.

While living on the streets of Baldona, a noblewoman secretly took you in and adopted you. You were forced to hide your true identity as you grew up.

When you came of age, you joined the army and waited for your chance to get revenge.

And then, one night, a flash of light came crashing down from the sky.

Out of nowhere, a bracelet that gave off a faint blue glow appeared on your wrist.

To take back the star power that was stolen from her, the Astral Princess has chosen you as her comrade! 

The question is...are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?
