Astoria: Fate's Kiss

Typically for my experience with Voltage otome I opt for a neutral review but I guess this time despite all usual annoyance it's a thumb up anyway. Some crucial things were presented much better, so I believe it's overall of a more decent quality than their average visual novel. [u] Complaints: [/u] --My greatest complaint is weird visuals :( They spoiled all the fun T_T Usually in visual novels one of the most exciting features is revealing CGs, when they suddenly appear it's always something so pretty I like to marvel at & save for my screenshot collection but in this case (｀□′)╯┴┴ they are HUGE O_O Why?! Part of the gameplay was just looking at enormous heads occupying all the screen O_o Why were the sprites presented in such a ridiculous way?! :( Why are the gorgeous CGs are so gigantic I'd have to make THREE screenshots to save all the image?! So every time I finished the route, I opened the gallery and was ready to cry feeling frustrated that I can't save and commit to my memory any of those pretty images. That's just cruel T_T https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3672419985 --As usual lots of typos & inconsistencies if you choose not the options for…

I remember countless hours spent on the Lovestruck app. The stories were well written unlike some other mobile "romance" apps. So the news of it being shut down had been devastating. I'm glad that Voltage decided to still release the old stories on Steam. I'm hoping to see some of the others too, especially QoT. I hope they also release even the ones that are incomplete, maybe just make it clear on the Steam page or heck, even finish them if the team is so inclined. Maybe, if they're also inclined, release the Pride stuff and other extras that involve different stories too? Anyway, onto Astoria itself. The story is still the same as it was before. Astoria was one of their first ones and it does kind of show in the writing. Still, Medusa is a classic and I know there's a ton of people who also love Hades' route. The interface itself is so clunky for some reason. It uses the typical VN system but it's not very responsive at times. But still, nothing too annoying. The focus is the story after all. All in all, very nostalgic. Could have been done better but I'm just glad it's here.

I used to play the old game, and once I realized the stories were here, it has not disappointed me yet.

Absolutely LOVE Astoria but can we please bring Starship Promise, Gangsters in Love, Sweet Enchantments, Queen of Thieves and Love & Legends also... You should bring them on as expansions. I would pay !!!!! PLEASE!!!!

So excited they're back! Always love the games and I love seeing every new one posted. Playing it was exactly like when the games were still on the apps, so much fun!

Haven't finished yet but my gawd I miss all the Lovestruck stories. I hope they bring all of them out in the store so I can save up and get the others ones. Astoria fate's kiss is giving me so much nostalgia like thank you for bringing it back.
