Late Review“Nova Hearts shows heartfelt intent but flounders in execution: stripped-down VN segments, rough romance, and clunky combat, snuff out its brief spark of potential.”

Late Review“It’s an intriguing premise that many of us can appreciate, but an overall poor execution sees any such sparks fizzle out before they ever get a chance to kindle.”

Early Review“Nova Hearts: The Spark is a game that truly stands out in the crowd. It’s not just a game, but a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community. Nova Hearts: The Spark has the potential to be a captivating and inclusive RPG experience, marred only by its current pacing and repetitive elements. With the anticipation of a full game release, there’s hope that Nova Hearts will evolve into the immersive and engaging experience that its concept promises. Fingers crossed for a more polished and fulfilling adventure in the complete version.”
