''Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth'' is a [[Turn-Based Strategy]] [[Role -Playing Game]] released on the [[PlayStation]] 1, mostly known to its audiences for being [[Nintendo Hard]].
 
The game begins in the [[Floating Continent]] of Mardias, where [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] Fazz and Leimrey-who are mercenaries-are just hanging out minding their own business. Unfortunately, [[The Empire]], Valaim, attacks Fazz' now-[[Doomed Hometown]]. Leimrey gets separated from Fazz, who goes off on a journey to recover his friend. In the process, Fazz discovers that this game's particular brand of [[Green Rocks]], "Coinfeigms," are bad because using them causes irreparable drains on [[The Lifestream]] - and that various forces are conspiring to bring about [[The End of the World as We Know It]] via this very mechanism. Fazz, being [[The Hero]], decides he's not going to stand for this. A [[Cliché Storm]] of [[Hilarity Ensues|Gameplay Ensues]].

The game also featured a [[Combination Attack]] system in the form of "Shoot" attacks and "Sessions". "Shooting" an enemy would push him back one square ("back" being relative to whatever direction the shooter was facing), which was handy in, say, knocking opponents off cliffs. But, if you knocked him into one of your characters who had been told to wait in "Session" mode, that character would Shoot the baddie ''again''. With some care you could set up a Session that involved all six of your characters, which practically guaranteed a [[One-Hit Kill]] (well, six-hit kill) and significantly upped the chances that some of the victim's equipment would be [[Randomly Drops|Randomly Dropped]].
 
The game was eventually remade for the [[Nintendo DS]] as ''Hoshigami Remix''; despite efforts on the developer's part, it was still hard and tedious. A [[PlayStation 2]] [[Spiritual Successor]], ''[[Stella Deus: theThe Gate of Eternity]]'', got better scores: while it was still a [[Cliché Storm]] and didn't feature much in the way of [[Replay Value]], at least it wasn't [[Nintendo Hard]].
