Cosmic Star Heroine

The music doesn't pop, the attempt to make combat endlessly interesting just makes it unnecessarily wrong; I checked out of the game once I realized that after so long I dreaded fighting. Predictable plot, visuals are fine. Seems like nostalgia for nostalgia's sake, honestly. I know I've been mostly negative here but it's not an outright BAD game, it's just horribly uninspired in almost every way and not nearly as good as the SNES games it is influenced by.

Among a flurry of indie attempts to recapture the magic of classic jRPGs. The game has some good ideas and is made to a functional level, but lacks punch. Party changes happen too often to get a feel for any of the characters or an overall strategy. Just try stuff, it'll work. I gave the story plenty of time to get going somewhere; it didn't.

The characters are shallow, the battle system is near instantly broken, completely lacking in atmosphere.
