Hi there, thank you for playing Wander Stars 💛
We're looking into this issue now, thanks for sharing it with us!

How Dragon Ball Reruns in 90s Latin America Led To One of 2025’s Best Anime RPGs Wander Stars developer Paper Castle talks about its influences, reflecting on favorite TV shows, and LGBTQ+ representation in anime.

Excited to share my interview w/ Wander Stars developers @papercastlegames.com! The team discussed the word-based combat system, Latin America's special relationship with DBZ and anime generally, and what it was like releasing "gay Dragon Ball" in 2025. Give it a read!

As a fantastic homage to classic fighting anime #WanderStars should be on many of our radars. 🥊 It's fun, it's funny, and it got a lot of heart – but it's also got that confident fighting spirit to win you over!

“Its unique word-based combat system, anime inspired presentation, and entertaining story make it stand out as one of the best indie RPGs of 2025.” – Outerhaven

It’ll be a while before the game goes on sale again, don’t miss out!

For players who grew up loving ’90s anime, or those fascinated by experimental turn-based mechanics in RPGs, Wander Stars is worth experiencing. With a sharp aesthetic and a serialized story structure, it feels distinctly vintage. Our review: www.rpgsite.net/review/18547-wander-star...

Hey glad to hear you’re loving the game but really sorry that you’re experiencing this issue! This is something we fixed on the latest Steam patch ver 1.2.2, is that your version? We can restore a save file for you so you can continue from EP5, just shoot us an email to hello@papercastlegames.com

have to say I'm having a blast with Wander Stars by @papercastlegames.com - an incredibly charming retro anime sci-fi turn-based adventure with a ton of style

Thank you so much for reviewing Wander Stars 💛

Thank you so much for the write up!
We're super happy to hear that you had such a good time with the game, that's a Pep Up right there 💛

Wolfe carrying Ringo

Wander Stars is a beautiful love letter to 90's anime in video game form. It's a story of adventure, mystery, and humor that plays out in episodes very much like an anime. All of the characters are fantastic in their own way, and I especially love the chemistry between Ringo and Wolfe.

(1/5)

As for in-engine Unity stuff we really just used basic camera post processing, nothing fancier than that. The 2D sprites do most of the heavy lifting!

Thank you so much! Your mockups look incredibly clean, excellent work 🔥

In our case, to achieve the look for WS we focused on the colors and line art of the sprites themselves. We applied limitations similar to how cel animation was done back in the day. Tiny scratches or mistakes left purposely.

Muchísimas gracias por hacer una reseña de Wander Stars! Nos alegra que les haya gustado 💛
