Lucas M. Thomas writes for IGN:
"[...]Star Parodier is an intentionally off-the-wall parody game that makes itself as hard to understand as possible, on purpose, for the sake of good old satire. Its power to make you scratch your head in stupefied confusion is further supported by the fact that it's all in Japanese, too. This is one of the VC's Import category releases, and it remains untranslated and untouched from its original overseas PC-Engine edition."

Star Parodier is a shoot-em-up for the TurboGrafx-16. Its name comes from another shooter, Star Soldier, into which its Japanese developers cleverly spliced the word "parody. As such, you might call this game a "cute-em-up" because it relinquishes dark, battle-related themes common in shooters for a lighter aesthetic.
