Stargazer

Not even a really bad RPG, but also not terribly original. The story is somewhere between naive and cheesy, the dialogues jump between "dumb" and witty. Yes, it is an RPG Maker game, definitely one of the top 100 but after all is said and done there was much potential and the soundtrack isn't really bad, but after like 8 hours I ask myself like "this is rather dull, do I wanna keep playing it?" and the answer is "no". If you get this very cheap then it might be worth it. At the current price - 5 Bucks - it is cheap but I slightly tend towards "no" about the question "Would you recommend this game". Loads of dumb dialogue and dumb story prevent it from being a recommendation. Also Quests, leveling, items and such don't make it really "outstanding". Balancing is so-so. I never used a single potion and only healed from level ups and healing spells, and hey I am like 8 hours into the game. After all is said and done the game is for sure at the upper average of many RPG maker games, but definitely not on the Top 5. It's fun for a while but nothing you will remember in a few years if someone asks you about your favorite games.

Don't be fooled by the slow start to STARGAZER. You might at first think that you've purchased a kids' game but just keep going, those first few "quests" will provide vital information for the last portion of the game. I was surprised to find myself playing for several hours each day, rather than the 2-3 hours I would normally spend playing similar RPGs. STARGAZER is a rather fun RPG with a good story line, some decent humor and very quirky characters. A few of the things that I really liked: 1- the quests are an integral part of gameplay, as opposed to being mere time-fillers, and must be completed to advance the story; 2- there are only a handful of potions and restoratives, and not the dozens required in similar games; 3- fairly straight-forward gameplay (as long as you pay attention to what the NPCs are saying); 4- a good bit of plain silliness; 5- PUZZLE CAVES! It wasn't all goodness and light though Two things that bugged me were: 1- the info provided in the quest journal is somewhat skimpy so I frequently had to go back to the NPCs for reminders; 2- there is no 'dash' option so be prepared to walk everywhere. All in all I found this to be a very enjoyable game, and a welcome addition to my STEAM library!

Tags: Topdown - RPGMaker&PartyRPG Additional Tags: Delete Local Content&Remove from Library TLDR: Poorly paced, handholding scripting that prevents exploration. Aimed at a niche millenial audience whom care about safe spaces and female representation. The initial setup is fairly classic, a star falls, which contains an angel/woman person from presumably another world or dimension. You start the game in a small village that is obsessed with drinking beet root juice, that segegates their children in girl and boys club. For some reason the starperson immediately takes a liking to taking instructions from young girls, and wants to join their club, and the first mission that was given to me as a player was to bring cider to the clearly very young children. The guards are women, many npcs have pink or purple hair and the male representation is arguably fairly neutered or castrated or casting them in stubborn short sighted leadership roles meant to instill a low opinion of them from the player. It may have its audience, but I am clearly not that intended audience. I am a curious, inquisitive type however and I really was curious to see how the author was going to shape the story, and what possible accidental or purposeful infractions to what one could consider decency and common sense morals the game would feature. The game features quite a few buildings that are reserved as safe spaces for marginalized people which follows in the tradition of going to a guild for quests, I think it is an interesting spin on it, but these people were just pacing back and forth in a building and did not seem to really have much to say about what they did there so the interest remains limited and they had no quests to offer, probably waiting for the on-rails story to progress and guide the player to those locations. Unfortunately after spending a solid twenty minutes pixelhunting the village and running around in circles, trying the shops and trying to exit the village, nothing really yielded that cider, there were few directions to be found, and if I am to find a walkthrough to progress I might as well just watch a lets play of the game, it would suit my purposes equally as far as finding out what the author was going to portray and how, but ultimately my curiosity has its limits as well and I would rather just move on from this. It seems to feature some custom art and the setting is so blatant in its social stance that it is intruiging but nothing that you could not find on a tumbler, a blog, or on deviantart. Removing permanently for declutter.

An Excellent RPG games Overall. Has a lot of side quests, Well balanced difficulty. Music Is Great, and The character interactions are hilarious :D It has some minor bugs, but everything else is fine Rate : 8/10

This is one of my all-time favourite RPGs and I play it about once a year. The story is great, the characters are well-defined. It's funny and romantic. Loads to do and a quest journal to keep you on track of what you're doing. I wish there were more games like this. I also wish that Steam would get Stargazer Christmas. If you agree you could try putting it on your Wishlist - I've got it on mine and if enough of us did this maybe it'll work.

Extremely basic RPGmaker combat, which means it is boring and grindy. No run button so it takes ages to move. While it's par for the course to have hidden nooks and crannies with stuff, every map is a freaking maze and a pain to navigate. All this might be fine but the plot is stupid. Characters are stupid. There are attempts at humor constantly in a half-way 4th wall breaking or "this whole world is a nonrealistic joke" manner, which is or can be valid and fun if it goes all the way monkey island-style, but here it is just stupid. The dialogue pains me and is stupid. Life is stupid.

When stargazer Zach watches the sky one night, he sees a star fall and land in the nearby woods. He rushes to check it out, only to find that out the star was actually a girl, and with her, magic returns to the world. – Over 200 quests to find and complete for rewards – Customize Aura’s magic abilities by finding meteors – Seek out puzzle caves for additional rewards – Three possible weddings between party members! – Travel by boat, by underground train and by fire wing There were many missions and opportunities in the game, overall I liked it. Sometimes it was a little annoying, because you had to run around a lot and sometimes it was hard to find out what to do. Written as a prologue to a larger game, this piece concerns a boy who lives a life of drudgery in a magical underground city until he takes on a quest to save it from destruction. The whole game is spent kitting him out for the journey; the moment you actually embark, the game ends. Competently put together, but I'd still rather have a complete story.
