Short review after 100% the game on mostly second hardest difficulty (heroine): An awesome indie JRPG set in a futuristic sci-fi setting with a plot ripe with political intrigue, powerhungry individuals, good old adventuring and a quest to save worlds/galaxy? Pros: - Great futuristic setting and atmosphere (you got it all, abandoned laboratories, sewers, cities, swamps, alien ship, futuristic bases, etc.) - Decent music and ambient sound with 2 highlights being the "jazz theme" and Lauren singing - Cliche though still okay storyline elevated by great retro cutscenes and good story and enviroment pacing - 11 unique characters with good personalities and different and unique combat abilities - Chrono trigger style turnbased combat with great possiblities beacuse of so many characters with many skills (you cant spam same skill/need to recharge skills so combat is more tactical, main heroine has a different ultimate ability with each other character, no random encounters, triggering strong abilities at right time when hyper or have a high style rewards you with more dmg or higher chance to debuff) - Great amount of sidequests, side/super bosses and optional areas with loot Cons: - Superbosses are sponges, on higher difficulties you need to grind and overlv a lot - Limited usage of items in combat, items do replenish after each battle (i only had 4 uses of items without any item related buffs who have a chance not to consume items) - Some of the later characters that join arent fleshed out as much as others or have no sidequests of their own (no indication of avaiable sidequest means after each chapter/major event you need to talk to most people to get them) A must buy for any JRPG fan and in my opinion Zeybods greatest work that they achieved, showing that indie rpgs even made in rpgmaker can compete with the best.

Sept. 2024

Cosmic Star Heroine is a solid JRPG game which goes for that Chrono Trigger feel. Unfortunately story and the characters do not have the depth they wish they had. Still a very well done indie game with well paced combat. 6/10

Aug. 2024

Only took around 7 years for me to crack this gem open. It screams and ooze's Chrono Trigger with a splash of Suikoden. I love the look and feel of the game. The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant! Had a ton of fun playing this throwback. Highly recommend!

Incredible game so far, perfect balance of story, character and gameplay

April 2024

I'll start this off by saying Cosmic Star Heroine is a rough gem, and in my opinion, very much worth its asking price. I'll start with the good. In terms of mechanics for turn-based RPGs, this game feels fresh. Status effects are based on an "HP" system, rather than chance-based. This makes them largely predictable, and very useful. I love this. Characters dedicated to status ailments can be a part of your primary crew, even against bosses. On the matter of mainstays, any and every playable character serves a purpose, and they're all equally viable in your crew. Alyssa, your ever-present protag, can be flexible in how she works, so you can bend your crew to just about any combination you want. The soundtrack is smooth and an absolute pleasure on the ears. The art is also quite nice, from enemies to character portraits. And in terms of content, the game isn't lacking. Superbosses, side quests, optional dungeons, extra gear, it's all there and none of it felt awful to engage with (though I was definitely taking on one quest earlier than I should have with how difficult it was). Now for the not so good. In a game with a plethora of status effects, buffs, and ailments, the game does a very poor job of conveying what they all mean and when they're active. The UI won't give you any information about buffs and debuffs, and you'll have to look at an enemy/ally's icon above their head to know what's afflicting them, IF that affliction has an icon, which many don't. This is kind of a big deal, as entire strategies can depend on status effects that you may not fully understand. The story is nothing particularly interesting, and I'm sad to say, neither are the characters. They're really just cliches that give you some dialogue in between you jumping to the next plot point. It's odd that the story feels like it's SPRINTING from beat to beat, despite this being a fairly lengthy game. Now I want to clarify, I don't think the story is awful, nor is the dialogue anything particularly wince-worthy, but if you're looking for depth of narrative or character, it isn't here. All in all, I still had a very good time with with Cosmic Star Heroine. If you're looking for a fun RPG you can experiment with status effects and party comp in, this game is for you.
