Five Stars is a collaboration of five different eastern makers, each of which made their own stage styled after a classic retro game. Amongst these is Goemon, Kirby, Megaman, Mario, and Starfy. You can play these in any order, and there is no final stage.
The majority of the game is pretty enjoyable and has a classic adventure style to it, which comes with a lot of varied saves with common mechanics between them. A lot of these stages involve enemies that add a real lively feel to the game, some of them can actually be killed as well. Of the stages, I found Kirby and Goemon to be the most enjoyable, but place Megaman as last due to having to mash quite a lot in it. All of the stages end with a boss fight, the Kirby one felt really fleshed out with multiple phases, whilst the Megaman boss ended up being an RNG-fest that was highly unsatisfying.
Overall, I thought this was a perfect representation of what adventure games can be like. It was highly varied, constantly interesting, and outside of the megaman stage very enjoyable. Definitely recommended.
