    I'm enjoying it. It isn't a masterpiece, nothing groundbreaking has happened and probably won't happy but the game is solid and very enjoyable.

    Graphics and music wise, the game is great, but rather standard. In the mechanics field it seems to shine, or at the very least deviate greatly from the norm.

    Graphics and music wise, the game is great, but rather standard. In the mechanics field it seems to shine, or at the very least deviate greatly from the norm. The battle have a few interesting mechanics that keep most fights from being same-y while giving you all the options you need. Battles are not random, you can see enemies coming, and there are very few of them, but you can always grind by initiating battles from the menu. Items tend to be less stat-oriented and give you unique features that help you adjust your strategy.

    The story and characters are mostly forgettable but the overall experience is fun.

    I recommend this to anyone who's looking for something unique to fill the void between major releases.    … Expand

    Cosmic Star Heroine es un JRPG con gráficos en modalidad de 16 bits que destaca por su jugabilidad y por incorporar algunas mecánicas de batalla interesante. El juego se encuentra ambientado en un mundo futurista donde encontraremos tecnología muy avanzada, naves espaciales y robots.

El juego se encuentra ambientado en un mundo futurista donde encontraremos tecnología muy avanzada, naves espaciales y robots.
    Comenzamos la historia manejando a una agente de un servicio secreto y como buen JRPG en la medida que vamos avanzando nos encontraremos con muchos personajes que se unirán a nuestro grupo, los cuales podremos utilizar a gusto, subirlos de nivel, aprender nuevos hechizos y establecer estrategias de acuerdo al rol de cada personaje. Eso puede parecer abrumador a primera vista, ya que son realmente bastante personajes los que encontraremos y cada uno aprende una infinidad de habilidades en la medida que aumentan su nivel, por lo que ocuparemos un tiempo estudiando las habilidades, probándolas y generando estatregias para el combate. Una vez que logramos manejar la modalidad de batalla, ésta termina siendo súper adicitiva. De todas formas, también es posible jugar de manera más liviana, el juego tiene varios niveles de dificultad y los fáciles son extremamente fáciles.

    La música y sonidos son un excelente apartado del juego, la música se siente extremadamente natural y terminará inevitablemente sonando en tu cabeza aun sin estar jugando.

    La historia es entretenida, adecuada para un mundo del futuro y va aumentando su tensión en la medida que avanza el juego.

    En general, Cosmic Star Heroine es un juego muy bien logrado en todos sus apartados, lo disfruté mucho y su relación precio-calidad es sobresaliente, es un juego económico que tiene muchísima diversión que ofrecer y es absolutamente recomendable para cualquier fan de los RPG.    … Expand

    Not played much yet but the controls are nice, the battle mechanics work well. I'm not huge on menu based RPGs but like them for a change of scenery. Not constantly bumping enemies, which is a huge bonus.

    Looks really nice. Sounds not ground breaking but nice. Plays well. It's a fun cheapy.

    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.
