    A good update could push this game up to a better state, with a more balanced difficulty and a less frustrating combat. It's a good game, but it really needs some feedback from the players. Listen and fix.

    I did not enjoy Star Renegades . It is an J-RPG -Rogue-light that reeks of FF(Final Fantasy) games. If there is one thing that is good about it, is the art style.

    The concept is good, the story is interesting enough and the game works quite well,

    However, I really don't like much that has been done : sounds like someone thought about doing a rogue-light FF game with a female protagonist ; Oh of course! art style is important!

    Map traversing and combat is boring though and requires dozens and dozens of play through on an already repetitive and clumsy combat.

    UI does not respond sometimes as you would like, the combined arms system of different attacks do bonus damage just obstructs and seems poor dispensed - sometimes it gives bonuses for stuff your just not gonna use, meaning you equip it and am stuck with it - if you have it that is!

    The story concept is interesting , however the script(story chatter) and the music is the pits - really could not tolerate the music. Don't get me started about the card system Ugh...

    it's a bit too grindy but overall it's still playable and you need some patience as well

    Much like Halcyon 6 before it, this has tremendous potential, but is simply lost in its own slog. As such, it remains tough to recommend on a higher level, as battles just take too long, with too much punishment for straying from an ideal strategy. If there was an expansion of story, streamlining of combat, upgrading character pixels, and overall improving some of the aspects touched on, would go a very long way. In a game that felt like it could have been a awesome Edge of Tomorrow kind of deal, it feels more like being an accountant with a glitchy spreadsheet piece of software.

    Star Renegades’ best feature is its combat system which rewards good tactics based on thorough analysis. Battles also look great, thanks to the polished pixel art, but the complicated, unfriendly interface makes enjoying them harder. I was also disappointed with the game’s rudimentary story, but what really disheartened me was the tiresome repetitiveness of gameplay. [12/2020, p.41]

    With a fantastic combat system and quality content in all other aspects, Star Renegades is stylish, accessible, and innovative, making it one of the best turn-based roguelikes around.
