Star Crystal Warriors Go! releases this Thursday, August 28th.
Kudos @Brian_Rushton ! So glad to see it coming out and congrats on your hard work on this one.
This is such a fun game! I loved uncovering the secrets of my character’s past and the world of dreams - and it’s always fun having to balance high school life and saving the world. It was a pleasure to work with @Brian_Rushton on the beta - and I don’t know how involved Holly McMasters still is with this project, but I wish I could tell her I love the world and characters she has created.
If you’re looking for something relaxing to play, I highly recommend giving this a try.

I didn’t watch madoka magica until after we finished writing but a lot of the game meshes really well with it. It’s a lot like the happier/alternate dream world in Rebellion. (Although there is one darker ending path that is essentially like becoming a witch). If I had to make a playlist for the game, the madoka songs would feature heavily.
Edit: also, I realized today that Power Rangers I basically a magical girl show. You could very easily role play as a power ranger in this game (minus the mech. Maybe mech update one day? J/k)
This looks intriguing indeed. Wishlisted!
