Marco & The Galaxy Dragon

An amazing VN! Character designs are a little bland. The music are great, vocals and themes. They story is easy to understand but cliche. Voice acting are fantastic. This is a linear VN with no decision options (technically 1 but it doesn't matter). It is mostly a comedy but can get serious and emotional at times, mainly near at the climax of the story. Even when during the serious and emotion parts, it is pretty cliche and anime tropey you've seen many times before. But that doesn't make it a bad thing. It is kind of a cartoon but only specific points in the story and when the short videos play. There are two quick minigames which you can only replay if you save before the minigame and can't replay from the Extra in the main menu. There are so many CG that it rapid fire you with so many at specific points in the story. ALL dialogues are voice acted, even some onomatopoeia sounds just to be cute. But there are sfxs too. The VN is 95% consist of dialogues and rarely and noncharacter dialogue such as descriptive texts. Which cuts down VN length by a lot than other longer form VNs. The VN is short but sweet that can be finished in about 10 hours, more or less depending on reading spe…

An absurd comedic VN with funny characters that has surprising production value (there are 8ish animated cutscenes throughout) that will leave an impact, but the story definitely gets disjointed along the way, to a point where i somewhat lost interest around the end. spoilers: [spoiler]in the narrative, there's a point where the city gets overrun with creatures called "love". this is a sudden development that leaves no impact on the plot and derails the main drive of the characters, trying to get the Lizard Stone before the main bad guy or someone else gets it.[/spoiler] That one plot point should've been introduced way better/cut and i think overall the story could've used a better writing pass. If you get it on sale, this is a good time and an easy 100% to fill 3-7 hrs. don't expect the galaxy out of it.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh....I bought this thinking its a yuri vn...I guess it holds up as one; The brainrot spike is immense on this one though (and its also not a yuri vn but uhhhh...twenty bucks are twenty bucks, gotta make use of this somehow)

Marco and the Galaxy Dragon is certainly a well-made visual novel. Its emphasis on stylish presentation, with constantly changing CGs and even short, well-made anime-like sequences, combines with a bombastic and sometimes emotional story that does quite a lot in ~7 hours. In that regard, it's certainly an impressive feat. However, on a personal level, I could not get into this VN. The main writer, "Hato", has a very distinctive comedy style that he also uses in other visual novels he has written, such as The Princess, the Stray Cat, and Matters of the Heart (Noratoto) and Monkeys!¡ The best way I can describe that comedy style is as a very particular quirky style that only the Japanese can do: a very “lolrandom” style, with characters constantly yelling or doing unexpected things. I think this comedy can work in short bursts alongside a mildly goofy story like The Princess, the Stray Cat, and Matters of the Heart and Monkeys!¡ However, my personal issue with Marco and the Galaxy Dragon specifically is that it is too constantly bombastic. Some people may like, or even relish in the fact that this VN is constantly doing wacky stuff, even in its relatively serious moments. I th…

laughed as much as i teared up.
