Very rich story
Alto and Melissa prove too quickly possess special powers. So Melissa is one of the four witches can turn off along the dark witch Hillda. Alto, in turn, the ability to tune witches and to bring their true potential upward. They join the famed Regnant Knights and try to find the other witches.

The story of Stella Glow is packed with the standard conventions of a JRPG. Nevertheless, the game tells an interesting and comprehensive story. The power of this story lies mainly in the way the characters are written. Almost every character is in fact pleasant and offers interesting conversations.

Moreover, Alto team has a lot of variation. There are the dedicated knights who take their craft very seriously, but there is also a knight cutting corners wherever possible from running. A big surprise Stella Glow offers fantastic voice acting. These were given to add an extra dimension to the game.

One caveat is that the story is sometimes too extensive, so the actual gameplay often late in coming. Especially in the first few hours you will have to press the intro through endless text screens and there is almost no gameplay present .. therefore requires a good dose of patience of the player. But the gameplay is worth the wait?

One by one on the attack!
Here we can be very brief about; Yes, the gameplay is definitely worth the wait! In fact, the gameplay is very addictive. As in most turn-based tactical JRPG's you lead a group of warriors on a field that consists entirely of planes. Each fighter has their own talents and a limited number of steps per turn.

As you take in the beginning include leading the frontline specialist Rusty and defensive specialist Archibald. Where Rusty at high speed to move on the battlefield, the robust Archibald is much slower and can take little steps per turn. All in all this makes for an interesting balance of your team.

It's up to you to give your fighters in turns direction and defeat all enemies with standard attacks, special attacks and magic. When all the enemies are defeated, you win the battle. In the beginning you can only participate in battles that are part of the story, but later on you can attack himself to grind in specific places.

The combat system is easy to put together, but has a big fun factor. Moreover, an average fight no more than 10 to 15 minutes, making it easy to Stella Glow pick up quick when you would briefly in the train or have a quick break. Maybe not innovative, but immensely satisfying!

When Alto and his teammates are not concerned with carrying out missions, Alto gets free time he can devote to their own interpretation. He may choose to perform chores for local entrepreneurs, to go hiking, talking to one of his teammates or the witches tune his team.

Performing chores and performing a trek supply respectively money and objects, but by far the most interesting options are talking with teammates and matching the witches. These options include ensuring that Alto gets a stronger bond with various characters. The choices can lead to multiple endings herein.

Completing Alto's leisure time is an interesting addition and offers not only multiple endings also a lot of exploration of the characters. It's really cool to see how Alto enters the conversation with his teammates. Moreover, a stronger bond ensures that your characters gain new opportunities in battles!
