Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I want to stress this a bit: DO NOT BUY IF YOU DON'T HAVE NO ONE TO PLAY WITH, first time I played this, I tried to play on my own, since I'm a strong, independent woman who doesn't need no man, and ended up failling, since it's pretty much impossible to play on your own, pretty much as the store info here says, the only weapon you have is that little "star" bouncing between the two characters like they were playing volleyball or trying to wash their hands from some kind of evil deed they have done.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
All in all, that's pretty much what I can say about it, it's one of those solo co-op experiences.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
On the bright side, Starcrossed is a relaxed game, with chill atmosphere and gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It has a lovely art style and soundtrack, as well as a nice little story, but it has a number of flaws holding it back.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Playable via a combination of 2 or more gamepads or gamepad/keyboard or even just a keyboard (though this is not recommended) StarCrossed is a pretty particular sort of bullet-hell/arcade shooter in which coordination is key to achieve victory.
