Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness for Windows published through Steam
G-MODE has published the Japanese-language edition of Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness for Windows through Steam. The strategy game was developed for Japanese flip phones by Atlus mobile content developer BBMF Co Ltd, featuring original illustration by Shigenori Soejima of Atlus.

Inspired by the PlayStation 2 title Stella Deus, the mobile spinoff features an original storyline, and fifty unique stages of turn-based action. "Spirit of Darkness" sees the return of characters familiar to the series set in Solum, a land slowly devoured by the mist known as ‘Miasma.’

Music is by Final Fantasy Tactics composers Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata of Basiscape. Stella Deus Original Soundtrack, published in 2004, consists of 42 tracks and runs the gamut from rousing orchestral pieces to ominous, doom-laden instrumentals. "Holy Spirit (Spirit Theme)" acts as the centerpiece, featuring vocals by Arugarei, with lyrics written by Yukiko Mitsui.


From the Steam product page:
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.
