A great turn-based RPG with a well-designed combat system that feels like a puzzle on hard mode. Overall, a love letter to classic rpgs, while introducing modern features like a visible turn timeline, diffilcuty options, autoheal after battles, and no random encounters.

I'm really, really liking this game. I knew I would, because I love RPGs and I enjoyed Zeboyd Games' earlier projects. Back in the day, I played Breath of Death VII and Cthulu Saves the World on Xbox 360 arcade and thought they were fun, humorous little RPGs. My only criticism would be that they are too short So it's nice to see what Zeboyd has done with a larger budget and a more fleshed out game. The combat system is nice, with a wide range of playable characters that each have their own distinct playstyle. Battles are turn based but most abilities can only be used once until you rest for a turn to recharge. Additionally, the "Hyper" mechanic gives a damage/heal/effect boost every X number of turns (varies per character), so you need to save something good for your Hyper turn. Party freedom really opens up after the first 3-5 hrs, letting you swap characters freely except for some situations that force you to use specific parties Last thing I want to mention is the soundtrack. I'm used to hearing good music in games, but this might be the best I've heard in a long time. There are so many catchy tracks, especially the main battle theme For anyone who enjoys games like Chrono Trigger, FF 1-6, Phantasy Star I-IV, etc you will love this game

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!
