If you like Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Tactics, Jeanne D'arc, or the Disgaea series, then this game is probably for you. Pro: Strategy RPG. Very rare game type to come by these days. Pro: Decent graphics for the time period it was made in. Con: Too many "confirm" prompts. "It is now your turn, press X to confirm." "You have just moved, press X to confirm your move." "You are about to attack, press X to confirm you wish to attack." "Your turn is over, press X to confirm."

Upon initial looks, one would think this is Atlus's version of the famed Final Fantasy Tactics...but the rule, "Never judge a book by it's cover" is as apparent as ever. First and foremost, this isn't a game for your kid brother to toy with. THIS GAME IS HARD!! The enemy AI is deadly and will exploit all your mistakes, the battles themselves are rigged to make you lose and lose you will. If any of your soldiers die, say goodbye...FOREVER, or reset. No revives. An intricate battle system (R.A.P) that takes some time to get used to and an ever present feeling of being cheated describe this game very well. Approach with caution and only if you have the patience and determination.
I played this game when it first came out. Back then the graphics were considered outstanding and even though now they dull in comparison to new age rpgs, the graphics are still pretty decent. If anything, the graphics were beyond their time. The game play is a little fast paced and leaves a lot of character building out that could have made the game more interesting to play through. The battle system is easy to understand and the monsters provide a challenge for the dedicated rp gamer. All in all, for an rpg classic such as this one, i would definitely recommend at least playing through it once.
This is a game I have been looking for a long time… I have heard so many things about it and wanted to play it and add it to my collection… After playing this game, I was surprised why it did not sell so many copies here in the states… Then I thought about how most of the Atlus games back then were mostly limited releases here in the US… If you are a fan of RPG’s especially the sleeper ones then this is an excellent game to try out… The playability reminded me of the first Suikoden for Ps1 combined with an awesome storyline like from the Final Fantasy series… The overall graphics are very impressive for this Ps1 game and reminds me of the NIS style like Disgaea or Makai Kingdom… Even though this one is a PS1 game the collecting value and replay value are worth this game being purchased...
if you like final fantasy tactics, very very similar title. Personally, I have found ATLUS to be one of the most inventive developers when it comes to rpg's. They've done a lot recently to confirm that opinion with games like riviera for game boy advance, numerous titles on ps2 and of course the ogre battle series. I know hoshigami often gets a low review because it feels like a tactics clone, and has a bad battle system in some parts, but what can i say, i still think it's a solid title
