ABOUT STARLIGHT RE:VOLVER

In Starlight Re:Volver, play as a magical Diver who possesses a special power to access dreams and retrieve their secrets and treasures. Our poster girl, Effy, is a girl who, time and time again, crashes through the gate of So Mi in search of the Starlight Revolver. Connect with other Divers and explore a vibrant anime-inspired city that will steal your heart.

Online Multiplayer Odyssey

Get lost in Nishi Island Metropolis (NIM) , a cutting-edge blue island paradise where science and magic swirl together. This bustling social MMO hub supports dozens of concurrent players where your Diver returns to craft, refuel, relax, and recruit new friends ahead of their next exhilarating adventure.

Dive into the gate to So Mi, rule-bent wilds filled with wonder and nostalgia. From floating islands to frozen castles, each area of So Mi embodies a fantastical metaphor frozen in time. With of party of 4, embark on an expedition and collect materials and treasure to return home as celebrated heroes.

Social, Anime-Inspired World

Meet new friends while exploring NIM's social activities. Whether you’re exploring, hoverboarding, fishing, playing arcade games, or crafting: relax and have fun, while collecting materials to craft new dekos and trinkets. There’s always something rewarding to do!

Interact with NIM's residents who support beloved Divers with delicious cafe treats, fireworks and accessory upgrades after their expedition. Meet the shopkeeper, the blacksmith, the cafe owner, and the fishing instructor. Listen to their tales and learn their persona.

Experience fantasy life in NIM. Discover NIM's schedule at different times of day, experience daylight, nights, weather, rain, and seasons at key locations like the Sozo Summit Outlook and the Sakura Tree, and log your findings in your Diver's Codex.

No Limit to Team-Play Possibilities

Form a dream team of 4 trusted Divers to best your rivals and hack and slash your way through each of So Mi's distinctive roguelite dreamworlds. If you’re dead, your cooperative teammates can pop your bubble to bring you back to life!

Each biome has unique enemies and battlegrounds. From elder guardians of forgotten ages in ancient ruins, to tarot spirits of oblivion in dark gothic castles, venture into dream worlds where each dive is its own fantasy.

Discover a hundred new ability combinations that each offer a unique gameplay path. There is no last or final mission, each dive is a rematch where you can strategically shape your combat style, whether it's high risk or defense, elemental (Nova, Gaia, Luna, and Zena) or physical attack for any Diver.

Stunning Visuals and Signature Soundtrack

Encore! Get lost in Starlight Re:Volver’s nostalgic disco J-pop citypop OST featuring an unbeatable ring of music talent including Sarah Bonito (from Kero Kero Bonito), Miyolophone, LilyPichu, and more!

Letter from the Devs: About Pahdo Labs

Starlight Re:Volver is a split world fantasy co-op rogue-lite (or rogue-like) action RPG dungeon crawler, where our heroes (the Diver) enter the dreamlike world of So Mi. Bring a pal, because it takes a party of two to four divers to face the obscure monsters you will encounter. Our Divers want to reach the top of the Diver league, write their legend, and leave a legacy.

Our creative guide line is “If we follow trends, we’ll be late to the punch. Instead, we’ll inform ourselves with patterns and themes from history, then create something from the heart.“ We hope that our characters are memorable and relevant: iconic characters that are deserving of cosplay and fanart, and used as benchmarks for future fiction.

We are a small New York based indie team of 33 game developers and anime fans, with DNA from Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Gaia Online. We were inspired by works like Sailor Moon, the roguelike Hades, Terraria, Runescape, and Maplestory, and aspire to rebirth the anime MMORPG in a modern way. Our product does not make any use of AI artwork or voiceover.
