Steven Universe: Save the Light

Steven Universe: Save the Light is an action-adventure role-playing video game developed by Grumpyface Studios and published by Cartoon Network Games. Based on the television series Steven Universe, it is a sequel to the 2015 mobile game Steven Universe: Attack the Light!. It was released digitally on October 31, 2017 for PlayStation 4, and on November 3, 2017 for Xbox One, and was released on Windows and OS X in August 2018, and will be released on Nintendo Switch in October 2018. The game was first announced at PAX East in March 2017.

Gameplay
After the events of Attack of the Light!, Steven, the Gems and their friends go on a quest to retrieve the Light Prism when it is stolen by a mysterious new enemy, a Homeworld Gem known as Hessonite (voiced by Christine Baranski).

Save the Light features seven playable characters from the series, Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Connie, Greg and Peridot, with an eighth character to be added in a future content update; four characters can be equipped to a party at a time. The game has a "blend of real-time and turn-based combat", and more of a focus on exploration and puzzle-solving than its predecessor. Players are able to explore Beach City and surrounding areas, and engage in battles with enemies. During battle, the players' actions, which include attacking and defending, will build up the star meter which allows the characters to pull off more powerful moves. A new feature allows characters to build up a relationship-based meter during battles and dialogue interactions; when filled, characters are able to fuse, such as Steven and Connie into Stevonnie.

Development
Grumpyface Studios is collaborating on the story with series creator Rebecca Sugar, and cited the increased gameplay complexity compared to Attack the Light! as a reason for the switch to consoles. A port of the game to PC and Mac, by Finite Reflection Studios, was announced in July 2018, and confirmed to release on Steam in August 2018. The developers later teased another big announcement related to the game, eventually revealed to be a Nintendo Switch port, and a physical release of the game bundled with Capybara Games' OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch scheduled to release in October 2018.

Reception
Upon release, Save the Light received mixed reviews. Polygon and Destructoid both praised the game's art direction, battle system, and connection to the series, but criticized the amount of bugs and glitches found at launch.
