Cosmic Star Heroine

I'm sure that you found this game through word of mouth. Unfortunately, I cannot in good faith give this a positive review when the title is severely lacking in polish. - If you want to restart a battle, there's no pause menu. You have to either slog through a long wait as the enemies chip away at your giant health bars, or restart the game from wherever you last manually saved. - Multiple grammar mistakes across the script. You'll find a sentence in need of a comma every 10 minutes at minimum. Not helped by the plot and characters not being well-explored. - No auto-save in a JRPG released in the late 2010s. - When you open the game, the option the cursor points to automatically is New Game, not Continue. - There's no custom logo or background for this title in the Steam Library. The font is generic based on what Steam auto-loads, and the background is just the first screenshot from the store page. For a title that could have boasted its pixel art, this is not a good way to handle this. - Multiple gameplay elements are not properly explained to the player. I still don't know what "Burst" means, and it's not explained in the Tutorial section of the menu. What does it mean that some of Clarke's abilities are "effective" when they clearly have an effect when the condition isn't met? - The player has no indication of how long a buff or debuff remains on a character. The player learns that Sue's Earth Power lasts for 4 turns by searching somewhere unexpected in the menu. However, it's not clear when this buff will run out, or even if it has run out until after the player takes damage. - Every attack with a "if this kills an enemy" effect is completely useless as soon as they can be replaced due to having not only very little payoff compared to any other action, but also because their base damage is so low that they can't even kill enemies at 10% of their remaining HP. - The art gallery the player encounters during the game doesn't have any actual art--just blue rectangles that are treated as placeholders. The concept of the Hyper meter being on certain turns and only affecting damage, healing, and debuff modifiers is a very cool mechanic to discourage JRPG action spam and is explored decently well. Additionally, each party member clearly has different ways of making use of the Hyper mechanic. However, I think that I would rather see more of this on a game where the rest of the package, especially in the overall polish, is better put together. I dropped this game at what seems to be around the halfway point. It's very rare that I ever don't finish games that I start.

Richtig gutes RPG (Man kann sogar 9999 Schaden überschreiten !!!) Für jeden RPG Liebhaber einmal durchzechen wert :)

Хорошая и небольшая жрпг.

Worth a play through. The combat has a buff and debuff system thats well built and not a chore to use. Its got a sci-fi setting and the characters are tropey in a good way and with that the games has a good sense of humor and i did catch myself laughing a few times lol Its very indie and worth a play through especially if you're tired of the fantasy setting most rpg's have

Классная игра. Сюжет и повествование тут не главное, как бывает в JRPG, а вот боевая система мне очень понравилась. С одной стороны, с течением боя вы и ваш противник постепенно становитесь сильнее, набирая очки, и с помощью некоторых умений вы можете их потратить, нанеся большой урон. Другая базовая механика заключается в том, что с периодичностью в несколько ходов у ваших персонажей активируется режим, в котором вы наносите двойной урон и имеете большую вероятность ослабить противника тем или иным эффектом. Персонажи, кстати, очень интересны механически, почти каждый может выполнять разные функции в партии в зависимости от экипированных умений, открывающихся на протяжении всей игры. Рекомендую играть на тяжелой сложности, так гораздо интереснее, я перешёл практически сразу. Получил большое удовольствие от прохождения, даже пытался закрыть все доп. миссии, но в одном месте силенок не хватило. По скидке игра продавалась очень дешево, да и даже за фул прайс она определенно стоит своих денег, поэтому горячо рекомендую

I got this game on sale for around 2$ after enjoying "This Way Madness Lies" from the same team. I had a lot of fun playing this one. It reminds me of PlayStation 1 JRPGS. The combat system is really fun.
