STARLIKE

Tekkoudan presents: a hamster battle / card SLG & novel

STARLIKE was first released at Comiket 82 as a 2-disc game + soundtrack.
This is the special collector's DL edition (full title: "STARLIKE Sumeraboshi-hen").

* Premise
Set in a post-war alternate history of Old Japan,
part serialized story, part hamster-raising, part battle simulator,
the story follows a girl named Setsuko and Hamstar, who she rescued.
Each day you choose how to care for the hamster, play minigames to
raise stats, and progress the story to a battle on the final day of each story chapter.

Read about Setsuko and Hamstar in classic sakubun-style Japanese writing.
The story takes some twists and turns. The effects of battle, and relationships
with other tournament competitors. Among their many trials, what will happen?

Train Hamstar in a minigame that raises 4 stats.
Feed him daily, sometimes gifting him a unique item.
There is a minigame for earning money, a shop to purchase food, weapons and
special cards for battle, the option to rest with benefits, and a stat tracker.

In battle, the four suits of a standard deck of cards have different effects.

Spade/Club...(If attacking: melee, If defending: guard)
Diamond/Heart... (if attacking: weapon, If defending: evasion)

Cards of the same suit can offset each other, face cards have special results,
and the battle can turn around with a single maneuver. It's a game of chance x strategy
which fans of both can enjoy.
