On the floating continent of Mardias, a war has broken out between the Kingdoms of Valaim and Nightweld that threatens to upset the balance of power in the land. Our hero, Fazz, and his ragtag band of mercenaries are thrust into the fight and are hired to protect one of the Ruins of Ixia from the Valamian forces. Unbeknownst to them, an insidious evil begins to rise from the shadows... Will Fazz be able to stop it before Mardias destroyed? Experience the world of Hoshigami like never before. Hoshigam Remix also features a brand new character, missions, music, character art, as well as a new localization. Novice tactician or battle-hardened veteran?

RPG Fan

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.

Hardcore Gamer Magazine

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

Digital Entertainment News

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.

Modojo

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]

IGN

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.

1UP

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.

NGamer UK

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]

My Gamer

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.

Allen W. gave it a9:
Really really dont know why other people think that this game is horrible. This would be a perfect game to gamers who like tactical RPG's.

Evan G. gave it a9:
This game seems to get bad ratings everywhere but i enjoyed this game alot. It has two things that should be in every tactical RPG, the RAP guage and the shoot attacks.

Paul C. gave it a9:
I don't know why this game is getting a bad rap. It is very much like Final Fantasy Tactics. Overall, a very respectable entry in the strategy RPG genre. I enjoyed it.
