So let's talk about star force they series with 7 entries but only 3 actual entries.
synopsis taken from wikipedia
This series in my opinion isn't really that bad just lets say mismanaged, the story itself is good but really generic shounen and geo is a good protag for the story they are trying to tell, which also connects to the gameplay. the deisgns for the bosses and characters aren't really terrible except for a few, and using constellations, nazca lines, and then card suits allowed for each game to have a relative theme to each game if only they kept it through and i would allaborate. heck even the megaman design and it's actual super forms were good
And the stories themselves each had a them that geo needed to develop friendship, trust, and purpose.
the gameplay itself is a serious downgrade but it isn't overly horrible and it did allow for better animation when it came to the character itself.
I would recommend these games to megaman fans
But it is not without flaws, Like the mismanagement. Lets get one thing clear there was no reason these games needed multiple versions the differences between them are negligible, to the point that they are non existent and they could have all released as one game and there would be no issue. The reason they did this was so they could implement this brother system idea. basically you make friends who had the other versions of star force add their friend to the game and then you could access the other super forms. They fixed this in other games by allowing you to input codes to access them or obtain rogue forms which are forms only capable of being accessed through not having brothers. not to mention there is only one canon version to the story, pegasus, to zerker, to black ace (atleast he doesn't lose the powers technically from zerker to black ace some noise forms use zerker's sword so that is nice)
Then the biggest issue is the boss recycling, these games constantly recycled bosses every game, and it wasn't simply optional side bosses both taurus fire and queen ophiuca, were used as story bosses again, but i would be less upset about it if ophiuca was brought back for all three games keeping the whole once bonded they are never unbonded thing they were going with but nope she wasn't brought back in star force 3 which literally the only game it would have been appropriate to bring her back.
but yeah star force is one of those games that would have been better served not having multiple versions so maybe it could have been better received or not play a huge part in megaman burnout of the early 2000's
