Star Crystal Warriors Go!

I wanted a magical girl game, I got a magical girl game. And unlike most Choice Of Game titles, this one actually allowed me to reload to the start of a chapter instead of having to start right from the beginning when I wanted to.

This is a standard choice of games title: a text game with character stats that rise and fall based on decisions. If you enjoy that style, and are interested in Sailor Moon, you will probably like this. The writing is solid and the story is enjoyable magic/power of friendship fare.

This is a very well written story. The characters were consistent, which is a huge positive for any CYOA novel. I hope to read more from this author!

Text-only but there's a lot of good stuff in here. I sometimes think the details could use fleshing out - some of the romance especially comes a little out of nowhere. It could be better as a longer piece, but it's also nice and short for replaying. I really enjoy the lore of the Stellaria and want more of it!

What can I say? I loved this addition to the Choice Of Games roster. like SO MUCH, it's unbelievable how fast my brain got attached to this. The story is fun and very reminiscent of your typical "magical girl" type media, in all the best ways. The setting (both parts of it) are described beautifully, and the tone is whimsical and heartfelt, but I also really appreciate it sometimes dropping into dark, almost horror territory for some of the nightmare-related things. I know that was an issue for some readers, but for me it added a nice touch of complexity to the usually straight-forward rainbows and sunshine that this genre leans towards. I played through this story in one long hyper-focused sitting and I'd definitely like to do it again to make some little changes compared to my first run. I loved the characters and think the small cast really helped me develop an attachment to them as a reader, despite the short time we really have with them. I do wish we could have had *more*, in every aspect. I would have loved more interactions with your potential partners, a bit more downtime, more fights and maybe minor nightmares to fight. Really I guess I just wish it were longer overal…

Really good game! If you like Sailor Moon you'll probably like this. I enjoyed it a lot.
