I did not enjoy playing Hoshigami: Remix. I did not find it fun. I found it irritating, monotonous, and cruel.

Some will love it, and others will despise it. More likely than not, your own appreciation of this title will come down to your fanaticism regarding the genre.

Any gluttons for punishment or those with an open mind for SRPGs should enjoy it. [July 2007, p.65]

It's not exactly the new face of tactics RPGs, but as a modern face lift on a classic it's worth a second look.

It's hard not to be cynical about a game like Hoshigami. It tries so hard to be ignored in so many aspects of its design that it's a quest just to find the game's heart.

Compared to your standard strategy-RPG, Hoshigami Remix is hard-core complex. [Aug 2007, p.89]

Hoshigami Remix isn’t a game we’d recommend for too many players. It can be difficult, complicated, and relatively uninspired when it comes to the overall out-of-battle experience.

A satisfying role-playing experience, as long as you know what you're getting yourself into. Hardcore players may actually lament the slight ease in difficulty and the fact that the game doesn't give them the character development freedom it really should. But as far as portable RPGs go, you could do a lot worse than Hoshigami.

GameSpot
Hoshigami is an overcooked hodgepodge that's too unwieldy for strategy RPG newcomers and too imbalanced for experts.

GamePro
The new content is a mixed bag and doesn't really do enough to make this version worth your time. There are some cool features the Wi-Fi item trading, for example but ultimately, Hoshigami Remix plays like a port rather than an update. And with no quicksave option during battles, it doesn't lend itself to "portable" gaming where the ability to turn a game on and off quickly is a must.

Far too hard at the beginning, even on Easy mode, and all poorly explained. One for the only the hardiest strategy fans. [Sept 2007, p.63]

Just about every other tactics game is better than this game. Stay away.

These miniscule improvements tacked onto a broken game are like repairing a wrecked car with duct tape.
