Penultimate Episode: I spent most of this session, (30+ minutes of it,) fighting the same boss. It's so hard, the flavor text says "Eats Heroes on Breakfast!" This is the second hardest battle of this playthrough!!

Cosmic Star Heroine is a turn-based RPG set on fictional planets on space with human and alien characters. The story features a nice cyberpunk-style pixel art. The story follows Alyssa and her friends as they unravel a galaxy-wide conspiracy. As a short JRPG-styled indie project, this game is around 12-18 hours long.

The turn-based system is unique in that you have certain amounts of skills you prepare before the battle, and you're only allowed limited use for each one. Another interesting aspect is how many playable character are there in Cosmic Star Heroine, and despite being short, the game manages to give them all strong personalities and character arcs.

I loved this game. The pixel art is beautiful and the (admittedly few) cutscenes are a sight to behold. Some parts of Cosmic Star Heroine were very challenging, though in general this game difficulty was just right. I'm excited to play the next works of this developer!

NOTE: I didn't record this game for online upload. There may be weird parts where the game sits idle as I stop playing for a minute or two.
