Niara: Rebellion Of the King Visual Novel RPG

[b]Niara[/b] is a male protagonist who finds himself one of the remaining survivors of his region after the Udrelean army destroyed his city & murdered majority of the residents. The protagonist manages to survive thanks to a Sniper comrade who saves him from potential death. Upon escaping to Milas City, the protagonist joins the Resistance, lead by Commander Hudson, in an attempt to overthrow the Udrelean army and keep Milas City from being overthrown. And so begins a story-driven RPG designed using Ren'Py that demands a patient game-play approach because there are no character limitations preventing you from progressing to regions that contain much stronger adversaries than the ones you encounter at the start of the game. This can cause a lot of frustration as there are plenty of story driven quests (and side quests) thrown at you early on but the character levelling is left to your own devices meaning unless you repetitively grind in the early levels of the 1st city region then it can cause issues when it comes to advancing to Milas City. This is because in Milas City you will be meeting a wide mix of characters whose purpose there is to aid side quests and provide 'advice' a…

I'll admit I didn't get very fart into the game – I might revisit it at some point, but for now, I got stuck on an apparently unavoidable "game over" on the first mission and lost most of the will to continue. Even at this short glance, though, I can tell a few things: 1. The game's look and interface are very clunky and unappealing. Navigating the map, interacting with NPCs, fighting... It all feels like a chore. There's also a lot of locales and characters that at first serve no purpose, or offer services that really should be part of some kind of glossary/encyclopedia (like showing item/spell stats). 2. The combat system feels very simple and the limited gear and spells are not particularly appealing. It's visibly below some purposefully-streamlined dungeon crawlers I've played, let alone proper RPGs. 3. The visuals are extremely simple and repetitive. You'll see a lot of faceless NPCs and undistinctive towns/warzone locales. There's admittedly more variety when it goes to backgrounds than there is when it goes to characters, but it's all extremely basic. 4. The story... Looks fairly ok, feeling like a bit of a mix of RPG and anime cliches done in a reasonably enjoyable way. It…

Very legit and fun first impressions!! Gotta be a little quick in the combat so once you catch on to that mechanic it will be smooth sailing. I mention this because you may lose your first combat due to being caught unprepared, so now you're prepared for it! Really interesting and unique features that makes me want more of this style of RPG. I'll be playing more in the future of course and would def recommend this rough gem.

I played this game for sometime and I must say that it is a visual novel and hence if you are expecting RPG gameplay the way it is present in modern or roguelike role playing games then you won't find it here. However, if you look at it as if it was a visual novel then you will be able to enjoy it. It goes heavy on text and dialogues and there is a little bit grinding in the game. You must click on choices to explore the game map and be careful of your level as you progress in the game. The story is the main focus here and there are a few side quests which seem fun but I haven't done them yet. So, overall, this is a visual novel with some (not all) role playing elements in it. If you get this on a sale then you should go for it if you like playing visual novels that is! :)
