Combat is turn-based, generally consisting of your team attacking first followed by your opponents. Each member of your party can have up to seven attacks or abilities equipped and you can also activate reusable items and programs that recharge after each battle.

Cosmic Star Heroine throws you into the action but there's no oomph. I don't usually say this but the game feels like nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. From the description of the game to how it handles, it hearkens back to the good old years but doesn't add much. Warp drive propellers.

An extremely quick tutorial imparts a lot of this information to you but unfortunately, it's not accessible to review in-game. I actually had to use to help me remember some things from the all too brief tutorial messages.Alongside attacks that come in physical and element-based varieties, you can also have party members use a variety of buffs on themselves or debuffs that will weaken opponents.

Always time to take in a concert while saving the worldAs in any good RPG, you'll level up as you gain experience to increase your core stats. There are shops scattered across the world that will sell you new weapons, shields, and accessories that will boost specific abilities for each character and provide custom program abilities that can be used in battle. The turn-based combat is the most enjoyable part of Cosmic Star Heroine.

A large chunk of the campaign forces you to play with preselected parties, meaning you have to learn how to combine your team's abilities as best you can. It also provides you with the opportunity to get to know each character and put new party members through their paces. Around chapter 7, you will be able to start choosing your own members but there are still times when a preselected roster will be your only option.Strategizing and coordinating your party's abilities is extremely satisfying as you discover which attacks and combos work best on different enemy types. At times, you'll feel virtually unstoppable. When this happens, you can crank up the difficulty to make things a bit more challenging if you feel like you're just crushing the opposition.

Unfortunately, the difficulty scale is a little wonky at times, and turning up the difficulty also makes battles take significantly longer. Sometimes, you'll know that winning is inevitable but that doesn't mean you won't be spending 3 to 5 minutes going through the motions.The creator of Cosmic Star Heroine put significant effort into building a large-scale world with culture and back story.

Her weapon may look like a regular bo but thanks to space age technology, it can also transform into a gun for long range combat and can be spun around to generate a personal force field. Wow, I just finished playing CStW and BoD-VII today for the god knows how many times and was interested in seeing if any more behind the curtain docs where released or if there was a new original Zeboyd Games on the way.I must say it.

Chono-Trigger was and still is one of my all time favorite Classic RPGs. To see this project being inspired by that masterwork of the 90’s era gaming scene. Brilliant and awesome.

Sometimes i miss those glory days, but teams like the pair of you seem to keep the love of the classic alive in new and interesting ways.I really can’t wait to see this one hit the Indy game scene and will be looking for it on Steam or other sources as time move on.Sadly I missed the Kickstarter call or I would have so dropped you guys $100 easy. Well worth the money guys.Anyways looking forward to this games release and thank you for the hard wonderful work you do. Death, sorry to hear you’re not convinced we could write in the appropriate style, but I’m here to assure you, that we can. We write in the style the developers asked us to, with close referencing and everything was down to the letter for style and feel from the Zeboyd guys. If it’s a matter of who composes it, then we’re comfortable being able to do a massive array of styles. With that in mind, if we’re given the right references, we can and will attune to that writing style and sound. Worry not 🙂 Now shouldn’t you be grim reaping or something?

I saw a guy across the street wobbling a bit, he wasn’t looking too good. This is sounding great.

I’m glad you guys are going back to making original IP’s. I know you mentioned earlier about the difficulty ideas you had for this but i’m really hoping that the difficulty can NOT be changed during a playthrough. That’s one of my biggest problems with your previous two games. Secondly although the soundtrack was great for your previous game, I was kinda hoping you’s wouldn’t go back to Hyperduck for this game. My reasoning being is that it doesn’t fit the 2D theme of the games. If you are going for retro well than do it right. Something just doesn’t feel right when the sounds and visuals don’t match up.

One last thing, the enemies, they need to be smarter, i’m dead serious about that. The enemies in your previous games have been dull and predictable. There’s hardly anything they do outside of “attack”. Mix it up, keep it interesting, don’t sludge through them like a work horse, think about it.Anyway i’m staying hopeful for this game. I’ll definitely support it if you’s go to Kickstarter.

Good luck and keep up the good work. I know it’s pretty tough for two guys to make a full game, I’ve been making games solo for several years now and it can get overwhelming.
