The Stargazers Demo

Space adventures usually feature outrageous sci-fi concepts in order to get around the physical limitations of space travel. However, nothing beats the creativity of Japanese anime writers in this regard, which is why it’s always a thrill to watch them unfold. There’s also the mecha genre to take into consideration, which is just as crazy in terms of sci-fi elements.

The Stargazers is an upcoming visual novel with dating sim elements, in which you get to play the role of one of the three female mecha pilots as they go on a dangerous adventure around the galaxy. The game is mostly based on dialog and the choices you make along the way, but there’s a fair bit of romance involved as well, not to mention a bit of mecha action every now and again.

The three main characters are part of the Allied Defense Force Signals, which is the first line of defense in terms of space exploration. Hence, they are always in the vanguard of the fleet and venturing into the unknown parts of the galaxy. Obviously, this means that they often run into trouble, so they are very well trained to deal with enemies and various other obstacles.

Besides the huge robots and space battles, there’s also the matter of romance, since a big portion of the game is dedicated to the relationship between the three girls and a few other characters. Naturally, most of the romancing options are about as far from heterosexuality as possible, so you need to take that into consideration if you are stingy about the subject. The full game is definitely going to feature some full nudity as well, so this is not a product for underaged children.

As far as the graphics are concerned, the artwork is definitely striking, even if you don’t get the chance to move around the scenes or interact with objects. You can tell that the designers have put quite some work into the backgrounds, not to mention the detailed characters with multiple poses and facial expressions. The music is pretty jolly and engaging as well.

In the end, The Stargazers seems to be a very polished product with great artwork and a fairly intriguing story, even if most of the action is usually interrupted by lewd imagery. Hence, if you want to show your support, you can help the developers by participating in the game’s Kickstarter campaign.
