About Starlight Drifter

After following a strange signal you find an amazing spaceship left derelict in space, before you know it you have yourself a small crew and can finally live your dream of exploring space.

Starlight Drifter is a sci-fi RPG, that puts you in the captain seat to make a name for yourself in the universe. The gameplay is primarily that of a visual novel, but includes open world aspects, so that you can choose what you do, what missions to take and in between missions who to chat to and potentially get to know better... Perhaps even intimately. All of which will determine how you make your mark on the universe and the games final ending.

✦ AI summary

Players are divided on this visual novel. Supporters praise the entertaining plot, likeable characters, humor, and attractive character designs, finding it an enjoyable "trashy" romp despite its flaws. Critics find it boring with unappealing artwork, grating music, and an overall lack of quality, though some note the unresolved cliffhanger ending suggests an abandoned sequel.

Older visual novel from Dharker. Decent plot, exciting adventures, and the ability to have multiple flings. Decent enough. Only issue is that it seems set up for a sequel, which because of other issues has likely been scrapped.

Simply boring, ugly arts, awful music which cut unnaturally.

I've had a big ♥♥♥♥ eating grin on my face for the majority of the time I've spent with this game so far. It's not for kids, but it's not nearly as trashy as it seems. Don't get me wrong, it's trashy, but not in the sexy sexy way. More in the, this is a bad story but I still love it anyway kind of trashy. I mean yeah, there is some boob, but no much else, and big deal either way. I dig the art, the music, the characters. It's a nice little package. I obviously didn't pick it up thinking it would be bad, even still, I'm happily surprised at how much I actually enjoy it.
