    The game seems to have some decent presentation, however it feels more like a "Would it be cool if we did this?" rather then "Would this make the games experience better?" Some of the most basic ideas taken from other games are present as day here, as well as some parts of the game missing such core elements, like music at the beginning for example, to make one believe this was made inThe game seems to have some decent presentation, however it feels more like a "Would it be cool if we did this?" rather then "Would this make the games experience better?" Some of the most basic ideas taken from other games are present as day here, as well as some parts of the game missing such core elements, like music at the beginning for example, to make one believe this was made in some RPG maker by some amateur, the tutorials go right over your head with made up words and mechanics that you've yet to even try or look at, as well as every moment in the game making you go "Oh.... okay?"

    At a first glance, Cosmic Star Heroine is a throwback to the JRPGs of the past. With a superb pixel-art style, deep combat system and fast-paced narrative, it becomes much more than a mere homage.

    Cosmic Star Heroine is far more than a simple send-up of some of the genre’s most beloved classics. It may imitate a similar art style and plot development, but it shows a good amount of innovation in some key areas. Particularly its combat system is packed with new and interesting ideas that require a good deal of attention paid during even rote battles. The variety of combat systems end up being as much of a drawback as an advantage late in the game, though, when lengthy skirmishes seem needlessly protracted. What still remains is a fun, if not terribly demanding galactic romp to save the cosmos alongside a crew of colorful, if not terribly deep pals.

    Cosmic Star Heroine is a retro style RPG that will delight lovers of the genre, but that will leave you wanting more and a bittersweet taste when you see the unexploited potential that could have turned it into a AAA game.
