Cor, blimey – get a load of that soundtrack! Cosmic Star Heroine – the Phantasy Star-inspired role-playing release from Zeboyd Games – has been a long time coming, but the above E3 2016 trailer confirms that the SEGA CD-esque nostalgia-fest is almost here. In fact, you'll be filling protagonist Alyssa L'Salle's red beret this summer. We freakin' love that name.
For those not in the loop, this game basically sees you assume the role of the aforementioned sleuth, who uncovers a huge conspiracy and is subsequently headhunted by the corporations that she's crossed. We love the 16-bit presentation coupled with the retro story panels. And did we mention the music? This is guaranteed to be a treat for your PlayStation 4 or Vita – and it'll only cost $14.99, cross-buy.

ok that looks................AWESOME!
Looks excellent, then they told me the cost.
...now I have no excuse not to get it when it drops.
That music did kick ass but the visuals are disappointing, was this made in a newer version of rpgmaker or something?
@KendrikTheRed Yeah, $14.99 is impulse buy territory.
Interesting that this trailer comes out when there's talk of a Chrono Trigger remake, too. Definite Chrono Trigger influences here.
Breath of Death and Cthulhu Saves the Day are some really great RPGs and I've been stoked for this for awhile. Good to see Zeboyd Games jump onto the Sony side after years.
If it reviews well, I will definitely pick this up. I really could use a great 16 bit rpg
This looks awesome. I'm definitely picking up a Chrono Trigger vibe from this - I hope the writing will be up to a good standard.
Looks pretty damn cool for my Vita!!!
It's nice to see a retro inspired game that actually looks like it has had a lot of love and energy put into it. This looks great.
Im definitely interested. It will be a race to see which gets to my Vita first, this or Salt and Sanctuary Vita version.
Cross-buy is cool, I can play the game on psvita in the bed when I'm too sleepy to turn on ps4. Is the game also cross-save?
hey Sammy your girl Taylor swift is single now.
Now that's a video game. Looks sick!!
Sick indeed, I am definitely getting this one - and some other games mentioned today; a great day for gaming news I'd say.
@playstation1995 Well that's material for her next album sorted. Almost like it was part of the plan....
Bring it to Vita and I'd buy it!
@Worlock_ed yeah you are right .so she would have more to talk about in her album
It looks like star ocean ps1 lol and that's a good thing
Been following this one for what seems like an age now. Day one for sure.
@Scollurio It's coming to Vita - it says so right there in the headline.

Love the look of this in theory but a little bit disappointed in the overall art direction. If this had Hyper Light Drifter or Tides of Numeria levels of art direction I'd be seriously itching to play it. Will still be interested if the storyline is good enough, though.
I am not normally in 16bit graphics, but it look ok and maybe a good fit for the ps vita
