G-Mode will port Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness to Nintendo Switch and PC Steam this September
G-Mode has revealed that they will release a port of Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Switch will have it first on September 4, and Steam will follow suit two weeks after on September 18.
This new port will be based on the 2006 Japanese feature phone port of the original 2004 PlayStation 2 release of Stella Deus, which is better known in the West in 2005 as Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity. As it's made for feature phones, this one has a more simplified interface and gameplay system. It also has a different original storyline, while still taking place in the same universe.
As a side note, the original PS2 Stella Deus game is still stuck in the PS2 Classics for PS3, and Sony still has yet to include it in PlayStation Plus' Classics catalog for PS4 and PS5 either.
You can find the official screenshots and descriptions for Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness right below. Even though the Steam page features a description in English, this feature phone game port will only be available in Japanese.

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.
