As a longtime fan of both Sailor Moon and action-RPGs, there's a lot about Starlight Re:Volver that appeals to me visually and mechanically. Sadly, the game's potential has been cut unceremoniously short due to lack of funding, developer Pahdo Labs announcing both this and another roguelike from the company are now effectively cancelled.
"Since our last update in November, we've been grappling with the reality that Starlight Re:Volver did not achieve the commercial success we need to sustain Pahdo Labs," Daniel Zou, the studio's CEO and founder, said in a statement posted on Starlight's official X/Twitter account. "We aimed high, spread ourselves too thin, and shipped a game that couldn’t hold a healthy player base."
