Starchaser: Priestess of the Night Sky Reviews

Seriously unplayable. Can't believe this is a finished game.

This feels like a student's Unity demo. No configuration inside the game (just the Unity default on-launch config screen), awful default gamepad controls, poor checkpointing, and frustrating platforming mechanics (jumps only fire after you *release* the button, unlike in basically every other platformer, to allow for a fairly daft "charge jump" mechanic) -- there are lots of flaws on display right from the start. I only finished the awkward, slow tutorial stages and a couple further levels, but I feel like the 20 minutes I spent was more than enough.

This game certainly got potential. It's not very popular but I dare say. Very good concept, though feels a bit incomplete. Gameplay is very platformer, has both good puzzles and good action. To 100% this game, you require battle skills because true final boss stage is very hard. Moving camera is kinda painful, has a lot of vertigo-inducing parts, though, it's just enough to be fun. Story is almost not needed. Sounds and graphics go pretty well together. What I like about this game is that they teach all you need to know from the get-go, unlike some platformer games where whenever you find a secret path you ask 'what? I can do this like this?' Puzzles are challenging, battles are exciting and fast. What I dislike about this game is that they don't repeat the basics for you. If you want to relearn how to pull off combos or deal with strange problems, you'll have to figure them out again. Well, there's a (*pretty much complete) guide on how to clear the whole thing with which I'm a bit involved.

dat was fun i though this game less than 5-10 hours but it depend on u (solve the labryn and puzzle) try to complete all age old globe more puzzle to solve mean more challenge just buy it when on sale, worth for me

I see this game in my library every so often and go "oh yeah, that was a neat little game." Its been awhile since I've played it so I cant give an in-depth review but its a cute game with some neat puzzles and mechanics

操作性最悪の上にキーコンフィグもできない！ ゲーム自体はそこそこいいコンセプトなんですが、操作の悪さでやる気なくなりました。 他の問題点もやまほどありました。フルスクリーンがないとか、ワイドスクリーン支援がないとか、ゲーム内のカメラそうさがおかしいとか、セーブができないとか、本当にいろいろあります！ 上に、お勧めできません！

[b]Note:[/b] [i]This review is purely based on my personal opinion and totally subjective. As long as I, who write the review like the game, no matter what the problems it has, I will give a positive review.[/i] This is a 3D puzzle platformer game with gravity defying mechanic, the puzzles are quite good, and some of them are surprisingly simple in unexpected way, like they are really good at making things look like it was so complicated but actually it was very simple to solve. And I love it. The non-bosses combat are very simple, and most of them almost feels like just a filler. But the boss fights are... good, well they are not great, but all of them are tactical based fights (or maybe some could called Zelda-like) where you need to do certain things before you can actually attack them and they had attack pattern. The story is decent, it has some interesting part, there are some comedic, seriousness, and morals. But some of them are easily forgettable. The music is quite good, but the graphic is, hmm..., despite this was initially released on 2014 (afaik) the graphic looks dated, it certainly look like a game from early 2000s and only support 4:3 resolutions. Not only that, sounds are also in low quality, and the voice acting (the only voice are when the character is jumping and attacking though) is also kind of really amateur, no emotion or whatsoever. And one more thing, the control is very weird, and I still feel uncomfortable about it. It was just bad. Well, I understand they are just a really small circle/indie developer, but maybe they should put more effort to polish the game a little bit, making it a bit more pleasant to eyes, ears, and easy to control. Well, I did say this review is based on personal opinion, so despite the bad graphic, sound, and control, [b]my contentment score is: 4/5 - I like it![/b] [i]Good 3D puzzle platformer with a really weird control.[/i]

simple relaxing puzzle platformer. its not deep nor exciting, its actually quite relaxing. looks plays and feels like japanese freeware, except its in english. i personally liked the cheery soundtrack and voice overs. she doesnt say much tho, just simple oh's. its a simple yet effective story, doesnt make much sense but it doesnt have to since the main protaganist doesnt remember much anyways, so you can both learn along the way. makes good use of my Xinput controller. i would suggest a buy if on sale. got mine for 60% of and its fair for the price.

A fairly decent, laid-back puzzle game with one real flaw: the developers didn't play to the game's strengths. If this game were almost entirely logic puzzles with the odd bit of combat it would be better than what it is. It gets bogged down with a bit too much combat and some "agility" sections that don't really fit. One level required me to jump and free-fall onto the end level marker far below but aiming the camera straight down doesn't work so you're fighting the spastic camera more than you are aiming skillfully toward the mark. As for the combat, half the enemies are these target dummy bunnies that don't even fight back which could just as well have been switches but instead the pace of the game is killed when you suddenly have to kill 6 or so of them to progress. Aside from those points, though, the puzzle design is pretty good and the combat with bosses, while sometimes not perfect, is enjoyable. All of the labyrinths rely on the gravity mechanic where you rotate the level by jumping onto walls with a checkerboard pattern. Each labyrinth also has it's own theme which ties into the puzzles like the Pisces labyrinth having a lot of water tiles that push you in a certain direction, for example. The puzzles are the real strength of the game, as I said, and while they're not very difficult, it's still fun in a laid-back sort of way. On the technical side of things, this game does have all the shortcomings of your average Japanese indie game: it has a pitiful set of options that are only accessible from the launcher, it defaults to a low-res window and max res isn't very high (1400x1050 or something odd like that), the audio is absurdly loud and needs to be lower via the volume mixer instead of in-game, the controls are not rebindable, etc. This is all pretty common for Japanese indie games but it would still be nice if they could step up the settings a bit. Ultimately, I wouldn't advise against getting this game but I can't give it a strong recommendation, either. Pick it up if it really piques your interest but only if that. I would say it's around a 6/10, maybe lower if I wanted to be harsh about the lack of proper settings.

This game is unique and very fun, gravity plays a major role in the game and the puzzles in each level change dramatically so you must be prepared for anything. Graphically it seems a little simple and unpolished, but it has it's charm as you go with it. I truly recommend this game if you want to experience a nice platformer game with a lot of twist and surprises, anime style of course.
