About
Face the trials and fight through! Team up with unique companions!
This is our story—a journey of uncertainty, but we keep moving forward.
Series Overview
This title is the mobile app version of the tactical role-playing game Stella Deus, originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2.
It was initially adapted for Japanese flip phones (mobile phones with limited functionality, popular before the rise of smartphones).
The app brings the thrill of battle back into focus by highlighting the “Cave of Trials,” a location originally designed for character training.
Featuring a completely original storyline, the app lets players take control of familiar characters and fight their way through all 50 stages.
Story
A white mist called Miasma—it reduces all it touches to nothing.
A continent engulfed in its sea, a world burdened with the fate of inevitable ruin.
A religion that embraces the end…
Spirits that are bound to the laws of the world…
And alchemy, born from harnessing their power.
The protagonists continue their journey, seeking a way to heal a dying world.
This is the story of that journey — a path we walked, uncertain but determined.
A chapter from the road we took, and the moments that shaped us along the way.
