#STELLA GLOW FINAL TUNING FREE#

Overall, Stella Glow represents a polished rendition of the classic strategy JRPG that fans of the genre can appreciate. Sometimes, I just want to enjoy a tale that’s easy to get into without some forced pretentious psychobabble or deep existential theme that’s complicated to follow and Stella Glow does the job in that regard. I also actually like the game’s story despite its use of common anime storytelling conventions. Your allies are quite likable, too, which makes you more invested in them. It isn’t as comprehensive as, say, Sakura Wars’ system but still provides a nice change of pace outside fighting and fleshes out the cast a bit more.

Outside of battle, Stella Glow adds free time where you can visit team members to improve camaraderie and affection. It’s a bit of a bummer in Stella Glow, however, as it negatively impacts pacing a bit. Games like Super Robot Wars alleviate this somewhat by adding skills that allow units to move farther or even twice.

It does suffer from some of the same issues I’ve seen in other strategy games where characters with low movement end up being left behind and feeling somewhat useless. Folks familiar with the genre should pick up the mechanics pretty quickly. The game throws in extras such as field chests to mix things up a bit. You also have allies that have varying play styles and abilities such as the fleet-footed Rusty and the long-ranged Evan.īattles, meanwhile, are turn-based and akin to a strategy game.

Tuning witches, for example, which you have to do the first time you meet them and as a form of maintenance once in a while, can feel like busy work and also certifiably creepy as you hear a disembodied voice admonishing you to “tune the girl” or “conduct the girl.” Restraining order, por favor. It’s an interesting mechanic that has its strong points as well as parts that, well, could have been better executed.
