Stella Glow has several RPG clichés wrapped up in quite a neat package. The tropes of anime-style characters, having amnesia but destined to save the world are apparent but they are with memorable characters in a distinct setting.
Although nothing special, I found the graphics to be fine although have different art styles within the game.
With some RPG's they seemed to fall a victim to traditional roots which can be annoying with modern gaming demands. These being:
- The game took about 45 hours. in that time there were cut scenes that were too long to get their point across. Spending 30mins reading text instead of playing a game I find tiresome
- There is grinding in this game to get to the right level or unlocks. Being quite a full game of content, the grinding aspect feels like unnecessary padding
- Difficulty spikes do occur and can cause several attempts in key areas
- Being a SRPG, the game starts slow in each battle, taking around 3 turns to engage in combat feeling like a wasted opportunity when playing.
- At end game it was really annoying how bosses self heal making the fight harder/longer for no reason
I liked the game but the flaws can't be overlooked. I know this game is pricy and cannot justify it's current price.
