Stella Glow is a tactical RPG game in which the player moves into a fantasy world maintained in a typical manga and anime stylist. Our team must prevent the destruction of the planet by traversing further maps. The Imageepoch studio is responsible for the production of the Nintendo 3DS version.
At first glance, the title's feature line does not look exaggeratedly original. The world in which we have found ourselves for centuries is an oasis of peace and harmony. At some point, however, this ideal condition is brutally interrupted for unknown reasons. Behind the unleashing of complete chaos stands a witch Hilda - her ominous song gradually destroys the existing reality. Alto, a young knight who is the main character, is given the task of stopping the witch. He realizes, however, that he will not be able to cope with its power on his own. During his journey he tries to recruit other witches to his unit, which would help him to face his opponent. Each of our helpers has his own song - in order to use their full potential, we have to discover a special sound combination and gain the attention of the companions.
The game was divided into two separate segments. In the first one we observe the action from an isometric perspective and walk freely around the map of the world. When we meet an opponent on the board, the view becomes more detailed - the tactical fights were realized in full 3D. The character models were designed by Shakodo Shinjin and do not differ from the trends set in this type of productions. The special feature is a bit "too big" character's head, i.e. super deformed style.
The rest of Stella Glow's visuals look good. Due to the technical limitations of the Nintendo 3DS, we are dealing with a much simplified world, however, any inconvenience is compensated for by the players using very effective film interludes, maintained in the style of manga and anime.
