    Has a interesting concept, but is definitely dated. It forces you to use touch controls, when regular controls would be fine and doesn't allow skipping of dialogue. I expect more from a turned based jrpg. Especially when we have great games like Bravely Default around.

    The biggest problem, however, is the wonky stylus control. [Nov. 2006, p.140]

    In the end, it's difficult to determine which would be worse; a day with this game or a day back in sixth grade. [Nov. 2006, p.142]
  3. A throwback to the bygone days of the RPG genre - whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your tastes. But even players who aren't retro-fans will be hard-pressed to consider Magical Starsign a truly bad game.
