Evaluation

Rolling Star launched on March 31, 2025 as a complete Metroidvania action game. NUL2 STUDIO has actively supported it since launch with multiple patches addressing balance, bugs, and quality-of-life improvements. A paid story DLC — "TOMOMI, Another Story" — shipped on January 29, 2026, adding a fully playable second character with her own story, vehicles, and skills. The soundtrack DLC also released on May 13, 2025. Follow-up patches in February 2026 refined balance and fixed issues introduced by the DLC, with the most recent developer communication on February 16, 2026. However, the store listing still includes a third DLC — a Japanese-language character design art book (キャラクター設定資料集) — that remains unreleased with no announced release date. Because this DLC is publicly listed on the store but has not shipped, at least one additional piece of content is still coming.

About this game

2301, Medium Earth Orbit.

21-year-old Laurie's hikikomori life in her one-person space pod was peaceful.

Tinkering with her bionic arms day in and day out was all she could ever ask for.

But now that's all over...

Aliens have launched an all-out attack on Earth!

Laurie's pod is shot down and collides with "Colony 102", rumored to harbor a secret weapon that can destroy the aliens.

Now the fate of humanity rests in her cold, metal hands...

Metroidvania action:

Explore the colony and unlock new skills and equipment, eventually gaining the ability to traverse the cold vacuum of space!

It's a Metroidvania on a whole 'nother scale!

Face off against huge bosses:

Fight bosses that take up nearly the entire screen as they unleash merciless attacks against Laurie.

Take 'em down and get that sense of accomplishment.

Craft your own equipment:

Defeated enemies will drop materials. Use them to craft new equipment and combine them with your skills to create a unique combat experience.

Into outer space:

Once you have your vehicle, you can leave the colony and explore outer space.

A new combat style awaits, free from the shackles of gravity!

The vast expanse of space holds treasures for those willing to find them.

The vehicle can also be used inside the colony. Show your enemies no mercy!
