    I did not enjoy playing Hoshigami: Remix. I did not find it fun. I found it irritating, monotonous, and cruel.

    Some will love it, and others will despise it. More likely than not, your own appreciation of this title will come down to your fanaticism regarding the genre.

    Any gluttons for punishment or those with an open mind for SRPGs should enjoy it. [July 2007, p.65]

    It's hard not to be cynical about a game like Hoshigami. It tries so hard to be ignored in so many aspects of its design that it's a quest just to find the game's heart.

    A satisfying role-playing experience, as long as you know what you're getting yourself into. Hardcore players may actually lament the slight ease in difficulty and the fact that the game doesn't give them the character development freedom it really should. But as far as portable RPGs go, you could do a lot worse than Hoshigami.

    The new content is a mixed bag and doesn't really do enough to make this version worth your time. There are some cool features the Wi-Fi item trading, for example but ultimately, Hoshigami Remix plays like a port rather than an update. And with no quicksave option during battles, it doesn't lend itself to "portable" gaming where the ability to turn a game on and off quickly is a must.

    These miniscule improvements tacked onto a broken game are like repairing a wrecked car with duct tape.

    Really really dont know why other people think that this game is horrible. This would be a perfect game to gamers who like tactical RPG's.

BuyThe game is exactly what I was looking for in terms of the type and style of gameplay - but it is a port. It is Not a DS-style remake. Buy this game because it's worth it but expect the PS1 experience exactly and be sure to avoid it if you played Gungnir. Gungnir is the opposite of this game because this game Punishes you for moving your units.… Expand

Some of the playfields are muddy, and since there are so many units on the screen, battles tend to drag out much longer than they need to be. Also, the wildly uneven difficulty and seriously cheap enemy attacks (enemy archers can shoot MORE THAN HALFWAY across the field) add to the monotony. The openin sequence is pretty though.… Expand
