Utawarerumono

It's been quite some while since I touch some actual games, and I've finally have some mood for some AVG games again.

 

Or, to be exact, with no mood and idea to continue my project, I took some time off to rest my old brain a bit.

 

Anyway, Utawarerumono is the second AVG games that I played because of anime. Yupe, I play the game because I liked the anime pretty much. The first game that I played because of anime would be Key's Air, one of Key's superd AVG game. Some might ask, AVG? Is that suppose to be a game? For most time, AVG is normally refer as visual novel. Yes, for most time you just keep reading the story text again and again, and perhaps until some part you got some choice of the path you choose. It sounds boring, but what keeps player to go on is the sory itself (at least its the story that keeps me playing).

 

I won't be talking about the story here, if anyone interest, go grab a copy of the anime. The anime TV series is almost in it's end by the time I writing this, so the DVD version shouldn't be far from launch. Anyway, apart of the story, I like it's battle system (I believe it's call SVG, or something like that) Nowadays not much company create this kind of games anymore, except Japanese companies, and ocassionally some Chinese companies. Hmm... the western big games' company pay too much attention to the graphic than the real gameplay...

 

Anyway, I've attach the CGs in my photo album. Unfortunately, some cgs are 18sx so I'll have to exclude them. Both the design in game and anime is almost the same, unlike some where anime and game differs.

School Days

Well, I don't usually play AVG games too much... except if the game was very famous or the storyline is superb.

Since it was pretty much hard to understand written Japanese (my level is still far from recognizing most of the characters) I usually wait for translation groups to translate the storyline (This goes to KFC's great translation, tq)

 

Anyway, it was not long ago I found out this game School Days, which I believe is quite famous by the time it's out (around a year ago). Actually I've played it's sequence SummerDays, but School Days is much much better than the sequence (odd...)

 

The main guy, Makoto, is trapped between 2 girls' love (actually 4, but 2 of them hide it very well). And so the battle begins between them...

Some of the stories are very very funny, such as Sekai wanna *battle* with Kotonoha with breast  (which apparently fails...) Also to note is that so far, this is the only game that provides so many endings (30++) and it really took a lot of time and patience to find them all. Well, although I manage to see most of the endings, some story are yet unexplored...

 

The endings, ranging from Makoto choosing either one of the girls, to having killed by Sekai, or Sekai killed by Kotonoha (gross) It was pretty good of how the guys from 0verflow (the company that produce School Days) can manage to link all of them together. This is surely a nice game to play (for the storyline, that is).

 

Check out the few girls' banner I made in my album.

 

Too bad is that the image file is in my burned hard drive... Rrrrr.... Reget it...
