Magical Starsign (The Skinny, March 25 2007)


It’s a bit of a wonder that a turn based RPG ala Final Fantasy hasn’t turned up before Magical Starsign. In saying that, it’s a pretty good virgin outing for RPGs.
Our story begins in school. Controlling six magical students whose teacher has gone off on a quest, you and your class mates itch for adventure also. So, you go in the schools rocketship, visiting different planets in the solar system trying to find her.


The main problem with the game is the wealth of information it fires at you. Unless you’re really into your turned based RPG’s then you’ll find it all a bit overwhelming. The battles are pretty standard (you hit them, they hit you, you hope you’re more powerful) but there’s little here to keep you coming back to it. You’ve seen it all before. So a pretty looking, decent RPG, but one for true fans of the genre.
