This is one of the first games I ever downloaded on my switch. Just now starting it like 3 years later.

Does anyone else feel like it'd be easier to get someone to a) change religions, b) change their diet, and c) change their car insurance company all at the same time than to get them to listen to a song you recommend?

I'd sooner be successful in asking a complete stranger to kiss me on the mouth during a global pandemic than getting my friend Jim to listen to a really sweet track. (WARNING: 30 MINUTES OF ULTIMATE MASTERY OF GUITAR AND SHREDDING FOUND WITHIN)

Uhh, yeah, gaming related let's see here...

Cosmic Star Heroin! Loving this so far. The combat is really neat and I like the idea of the abilities only being able to be used once (for most abilities), and then have to time out a "rest" turn. It can get pretty sketchy sometimes if you put off the rest turn too often.

One thing that's tricky is remembering all the moves you have. I'm 3 hours in and my four teammates all have a pile of moves; remembering what the heck you have can be quite tricky, as well as accidentally confusing people. I'm playing on a lower difficulty though because I despise repeating battles, so it hasn't been a problem so far.

One thing that I'm in love with is the soundtrack! It feels a lot like the ambient tracks of the original Starcraft, very 90s-PC gaming feel which I really dig as it takes me back.

So far, I'd say I recommend Cosmic Star Heroin.

I've got a decent collection of Playstation Vita games that I never got around to playing. Rather than buy anything new (until Metroid: Dread, that is), I'm going to address this problem!

I've got a decent collection of Playstation Vita games that I never got around to playing. Rather than buy anything new (until Metroid: Dread, that is), I'm going to address this problem!

First up is: Cosmic Star Heroine! I grabbed a physical copy of this one because I loved the idea of a shorter JRPG in a handheld, and I've been craving something just like it. Fired up the Vita for the first time in a year and it still has 50% battery - unbelievable. It still feels incredible in the hands too.

Looking forward to this one!

It's fine...The presentation was nice, the combat had some interesting quirks. It's really well polished (when I played it the bugs were largely fixed) but nothing about it made me cry out for more. If you catch on sale it could be a fun dozen or so hours.

I had no idea this game was coming out today. It was totally off my radar since i hadn't heard anything about it in months, but damn I couldn't help myself and I ended up buying it(thanks Grouvee for the new releases list). It's 20% off for a week if anyone is interested.

I've played Zeboyd's other games like Breath of Death VII, Cthulhu Saves the World (personal favorite), and the last two Penny Arcade games and all of them were filled with quirky humor, lots of satire, and nostalgic/entertaining gameplay/customization options.

This game looks to be a bit more on the epic side, and its combat looks very similar to Chrono Trigger, which is probably one of my favorite battle systems in any RPG ever. I always wanted to see what Zeboyd could do with an attempt a game with a more serious game, but who am I kidding, it's probably a cheese-fest with tons of fourth wall breaking moments and over the top behavior.

Between Persona 5, Trails in the Sky 3, and Fire Emblem Echoes, I don't know when I'll actually get to sit down and play it, but i had to support Zeboyd. This game looks awesome!
