Battles take place from a fixed isometric perspective as you choose six of your units, represented by super-deformed bobbleheads, to face off against an opposing force. When you’re not wooing your compatriots, you’re fighting alongside them on the battlefield. Hanging out with your bros may not lead to romance, but Stella Glow’s fellas are an amusing bunch who are much more well-rounded than their female counterparts.

Their latest release, Stella Glow, was intended to mark this decennial celebration, but instead became a farewell swansong.Ī spiritual successor to the Luminous Arc series, Stella Glow is a turn-based strategy RPG that tells the story of a world in which powerful magic is contained within music, but God has stripped humanity of the ability to sing due to past transgressions, leaving the art of song as the domain of heretical witches. ![]() The Western release of Criminal Girls didn’t set any hearts ablaze, their CEO went AWOL, and finally they closed their doors for good just four weeks short of their ten year anniversary.
