  1. The game's controls and user-interface are clean and intuitive: the analog stick and four face buttons are all that's needed to play, and the unobtrusive onscreen icons give you necessary information when you need it.
  2. It’s fun to play through, and easy to pick up and put down again pretty quickly, both a must for a handheld port and a rarity in the SRPG subgenre.
  3. 68
    The battles are over-long and while the game is pretty short, you'd be hard-pushed to see it through to the end. [Issue 142, p.88]
  4. Astonishia Story is far from a dreadful game, it’s just one that’s oddly devoid of even the remotest hint of charisma.

    I wish i could go in to the negative on this one. Horrible game. No quest book. Character not at all customizable. Most of the time you look like a chicken with your head cut off because you have no idea what you are supposed to be doing. I would pay them to take this game back. Expand

    I am deeply troubled by the fact that I paid 40 bucks for this game. The only thing good I can say about it is that purchasing Astonishia, and being completely disgusted with its quality, has caused me to research my future PSP game purchases a bit more. Collapse
