The same day that i played this and finally fixed the Stupid issues with the stupid ugly font and the ugly art and ugly everything in the world I gnawed at my fingers and the bit of flesh on my finger joint was bleeding so much for no reason and it was painful because i got red epper juices in the wound awhile later and it still didnt hurt as much as reading this bland Audiovisual Upchuck for 1 hour. I am grateful this exists still though because now i know i know for the cost of 0 dollars and more time spent fixing the font issues in a modern release than actually reading it i will probably not touch the main game. The only tangible reason i had to give it a try because ueda metawo is the best, and the main game's theme by denkare rules so much. Denkare is forever awesome but my god this is an artistic fall from grace worse than the fallen angel Nishii. This entire package and GSS remake's sprites are just pitiful in comparison to his old work and it makes me really sad.

So, I know this is a prequel, but I didn't expect it to be that short. Auto mode didn't work, and I wanted to look at the length of this before the main game. It took 3 minutes of pressing the down button.. I'll give it an actual try soon.

"Dead End Aegis: Gaiden" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Dead End Aegis". Dead End Aegis is not even a game, it's a garbage, badly written high school anime club dropout fanfiction, a complete cringefest about the authors imaginary girlfriends.. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Dead End Aegis, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Dead End Aegis: Gaiden" too. The objective of this advertisement is to get you to pay the eye watering sum of THIRTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS to buy the whole garbage tier anime club fanfiction e-book from the author... and I can't stress just how cringey the high school tier writing is. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ad…

This a great prequel telling the story prior to the events in Dead End Aegis. Gives you just enough more details to learn about the original 3 special forces. I would say still read the original first before Gaiden because it will spoil the original just a bit. Sadly if you want the full content for Gaiden (18+), you will need to purchase the Dead End Aegis some where else.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
