Unlike many titles where the villain enters the story and immediately has it out for the protagonists, Hilda somewhat accidentally befriends Lisette and Alto and even spares them to some degree in the beginning. Hilda, whom is a witch, stands opposite of Lisette and Alto throughout the game - though she is introduced to our two heroes in an interesting way. It’s not the largest roster of heroes ever seen in a JRPG, but there’s a quality to them that isn’t regularly achieved.įor the sake of not spoiling the story, we’ll only briefly talk about the game’s antagonist and a few plot-points. In fact, Stella Glow‘s entire cast is likable, thanks to some sharp writing. Both Alto and Lisette are fantastic characters, not just because of their well-developed backstories, but because they are incredibly likable. Because these two are the primary protagonists, a good deal of time is spent showcasing their interactions, while also looking at their individual histories and motivations. The two are an inseparable duo, frequently complementing each others’ strengths and weaknesses. Along for the ride is our co-lead Lisette, the daughter of the lady who found and took Alto in to raise him.
Not having any memories of his life prior to just a few years ago, when he was taken in and raised by a family in the village of Mithra, Alto is on a quest to find out about his past. The leading man of Stella Glow is an amnesiac boy named Alto. Fortunately for fans of the genre, ATLUS and imageepooch’s latest title, Stella Glow, is not only a homage to titles that paved the way for its existence, but a well-designed experience chockful of content and charm. Sure, there’s Fire Emblem every so often, and then a one-off title like Mercenaries Saga 2 here and there, but that’s about it. Despite being a genre that rarely produces bad games, Japanese SRPGs are frustratingly few and far between these days.
