Stella Glow (Nintendo 3DS)

This game mixes great SRPG gameplay with an excellent story (believe me, you won't see the plot twists coming), a likeable and engaging cast and great music (which is a big focus since you can use songs to affect the flow of battle). All in all a great game, definitely worth playing.

Love this game,has a similar feel to fire emblem.

One Word 'Resealed'

Stella Glow has an artwork style similar to that seen in the Etrian Odyssey series, especially the dialogue scenes between characters, but a set of game mechanics that will be very familiar to anyone who played the Luminous Arc (LA) series on the original DS (same studio). I'd call it an amalgam of LA 2 & 3, but with far more animated scenes that wouldn't look out of place in a TV series. The background art in general is gorgeous. It does have new twists on some of the features you'd see in LA, such as gems having to be inserted into weapons instead of being carried in inventory, you're told when you'll have free time/combat time in advance, friendship activities are time specific, and displaying the objectives required for bonus mission rewards (check bottom screen); and the witches provide a free orb in tuning missions subject to you correctly answering their questions (tip: they glow after each right answer). It is highly advisable to play the new game + to get the second possible ending(only money transfers over tho). The game is story rich, so expect long sections explaining what's going on in the world. The main downside is that if you're repeating a section due to a mission failure the skip button doesn't really skip. It's more of a fast forward for dialogue; to truly skip the scene press the start button. The other niggles I have are: the awkwardness of equipping the gems (I expected to just touch part of the lower screen, not play find a small menu); some crafting materials are unusable but can be sold; and that you can't use the stylus to do anything in battle mode, as the upper screen is where the action takes places. The lower screen acts a minor menu in battle. Also due to the manual being very light on details you will need the tutorials to understand some of the options. The game makes use of play coins - currency earned by walking around with your DS on idle. The only thing I can't answer is why Bubu, a small but long eared pig is in the corner of the loading screen.

Even better than I thought

Good product fast delivery

o.k.

I like the artwork and the story but one issue is the game play since you can't skip the badguys turns since with Fire Emblem you can skip the badly turns so the gameplay go smoothly.
