COSMIC STAR HEROINE - PS Vita Alpha Footage

View fullsize

Sony has made it clear they are on board to support indie games with this console generation, and with releases on the PS4 and Vita, they have been sticking to their word. As the Vita has become my go-to system for JRPGs, I’m happy to see both coming together in harmony. That’s right, the super-retro geniuses at Zeboyd Games are working on a fantastical new space adventure that is coming to the Playstation Store. Some of this small studio's most notable releases include Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World. And their newest crowd funded title is Cosmic Star Heroine, a pixel-art RPG inspired by classics like Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star.

Zeboyd Games just released a 30-minute video of them playing through the alpha demo that was available at the Playstation Experience earlier this month, and it looks amazing! So give it a watch and let me know what you think of it. I know I’ll be picking it up on my Vita.

ALPHA GAMEPLAY SHOWN - Work in progress! This is an early demo of Cosmic Star Heroine that we presented at Playstation Experience. Many things are missing from the demo shown, including sound effects, items in treasure chests, several gameplay mechanics, and a lot of polish (graphics, text, writing, etc.).
