STARBITES Reviews
There's a seed of a good game in STARBITES, with a very fun combat and interesting world, however it didn't bloom when planted in this desert.

There are many RPG titles hitting the market, making it important that new releases bring interesting new features. Starbites is a competent game, with charismatic visuals and fun gameplay mechanics. The story is a bit convoluted, but delivers an adventure interesting enough to be explored to the end, especially in terms of the characters. The combat is quite good, with mostly traditional and well-implemented options. The Driver's High feature works in a limited way, serving more as an extra mechanic than a major innovation. It illustrates the game as a whole: good ideas and competent basic implementation (sometimes a bit slow), but without anything particularly noteworthy. In the end, it's a good choice, especially for RPG fans.

There are plenty of enjoyable moments involving the character interactions or when the combat and exploration get into a good rhythm, but it never really takes that extra step needed to stick in the memory. Nonetheless, it’s an enjoyable enough way to spend the time, and there’s a strong base for IKINAGAMES to be able to build upon going forward.
STARBITES delivers a charming cast of characters, satisfying mech customization, and nostalgic turn-based combat. Despite technical hiccups, this sci-fi RPG feels like a hidden gem for old-school RPG fans.
