Summary

Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix, often just called Hoshigami Remix, feels like a fresh take on the classic strategy RPG thanks to the DS’s dual screens and stylus support. The interface has been streamlined so I can issue commands with a tap, and the three selectable difficulty levels let me dial the challenge up or down without losing the core tactical feel.

The game introduces a handful of new mechanics that change how I think about positioning. The Shoot System lets a character push an ally or foe two squares, opening up chain reactions, while the RAP gauge builds with each action and determines when a unit can act again. The Session System is a real mind‑bender: by arranging characters just right, a single “host” can bounce an enemy’s attack through multiple teammates for massive damage.

Beyond the systems, the remix adds a brand‑new playable character, extra missions, refreshed music, and updated character art, all wrapped in a new localization that smooths out the dialogue. Wireless trading lets me swap items with friends, and the added religious affiliations—six main and two secret—expand stat growth and skill trees, giving each playthrough a distinct flavor.

Storyline

In Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix, a war erupts between the Kingdoms of Valaim and Nightweld on the continent of Mardias. The conflict centers on the Ruins of Ixia, a mysterious site that both sides seek to control. Fazz, a naive young mercenary, is hired by Nightweld’s Royal Guard leader Reuperl to protect one of these ruins from the Valamian army. Meanwhile, an ominous evil being rises from the shadows, threatening to destroy the entire land.

Fazz is accompanied by his older‑brother‑type comrade Leimrey, a lone spear‑wielding mercenary who doubts humanity’s worth. Their circle expands with childhood friend Tinn, a spoiled but determined admirer, and Elena, a mysterious woman they encounter on the road. Other key figures include Alveen, a Valaimian knight seeking to restore his family’s name, and Gomes, a former mercenary turned merchant living with the Tuchi Tribe. The Imperial commander Blackthorn, an unkillable antagonist, and the enigmatic priest Silphatos, who knows Mardias’s hidden history, further complicate the struggle.

Behind the scenes, Emperor Fernandez appears as Valaim’s dictator, yet his decisions are steered by Villa, the Priest of Earth, whose name echoes an ancient Hoshigami. Jacqueline leads a bandit clan in Gerauld, acting as a reluctant big sister to her followers. The story weaves these personalities together as they confront both the human war and the looming supernatural threat.
