STARBITES

Starbites is derivative, almost to a fault. Much like its protagonists’ scavenged mechs, it finds a way to bolt on different parts from established systems and influences to create a close approximation to many of the original inspirations. But it’s only an approximation, and while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Starbites might have had its time in the sun. You might feel the need to explore a fresher experience. But for those who’ve never had the pleasure of bathing in a JRPG light, they could do a lot worse than take Lukida and the gang for a spin.
