The makers behind the power-level savvy strategy RPG Disgaea series is launching a new IP featuring bartending and, you guessed it, more RPGing.

The company has announced a new game called Bar Stella Abyss, and it combines roguelike mechanics with strategy RPG gameplay. The bits of gameplay shown below feature an overworld to explore called the Drunken World, turn-based combat, the option to mingle with bar guests and have drinks with them for conversations and RPG buffs in the overworld, and your masked main character getting drunk if you overindulge in the Drunken World you’re exploring. There’s even a Hades-like Boons system called Constellations where you gather loads of buffs during your run, but lose it all if you die.

Check out the official game description below:

Overview

“Bar Stella Abyss is a roguelike strategy RPG in which you strengthen your party with the power of the constellations while exploring a dungeon in another world that changes form each time you play. In addition to exploring the other world, the story will unravel as you share drinks with the peculiar patrons of the bar “Stella Abyss.”

Characters

-Wanderer (voiced by Nanako Mori)

A wanderer who lost their face and arm.

The protagonist, who arrives at the hidden bar Stella Abyss after following a flyer floating in the wind through the city at night. In order to get back the face and arm they lost in the Drunken World, they must go back and forth between the bar and other world.

-Master

A gentle-mannered woman adored by her regulars. She also seems to know about the Drunken World. She offers all sorts of advice to the protagonist, who is taken aback by the sudden events.

-Tipsy

A creature who saves the protagonist after wandering into the Drunken World and names them “Wanderer.” They do whatever they can to help catch the thief who stole the protagonist’s face and arm.

Dungeons & Exploration

-Dungeons are scattered with facilities that will aid in your exploration, including an observatory where you can obtain enhanced skills, and shops where you can purchase items. It is up to the player to decide which facilities to progress through.
-If you encounter any of Stella Abyss’ regulars in the Drunken World, you can add them to your party. With their help, aim to reach the depths of the Drunken World.
-When you use up all your strength in the Drunken World, you will wake up in the bathroom of Stella Abyss. Equipment aside, all items will be lost and your level will return to its initial state.

Combat

-When you encounter the monsters that roam about the Drunken World, the fight will shift to a tile-based battle map. Combat progresses like a turn-based strategy RPG. Choose your actions while paying attention to the enemy’s weaknesses and placement, as well as terrain effects.
-As you explore, you will obtain “Stella,” which are the powers of the constellations. By setting a Stella to a character’s skill, its performance can be enhanced in ways such as expanded attack range, additional power, or granting additional attributes.
-There are around 130 different Stella that will randomly appear, and up to four can be equipped for a single skill, but all Stella will reset once your run ends. Try out different combinations of Stella for every run.

Bar Stella Abyss will be out on 29 February 2024, but in Japanese for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. An English version has yet to be announced.
