About Hatsumira -from the future undying-
From the development team behind the Grisaia series, Hatsumira -From the Future Undying- is a fantasy visual novel that transports you into a whole new world filled with swords and sorcery!
Hatsumira -From the Future Undying- is written by our team of talented writers, including lead writer Ryuta Fujisaki and scenario writer Yuhi Nanao. The game also features original artwork by Akio Watanabe and Fumio, in addition to monster and minor characters designs by INO. This game is one of Frontwing's most ambitious works, created with the aim of breathing a fresh breath of air into the visual novel industry.
Synopsis
During the Pacific War, Ichiro Mimori, a petty officer and Zero fighter pilot, was about to launch a kamikaze attack on an enemy ship, when instead he finds himself crash-landing into an unfamiliar desert. As he wanders around lost, desperate for water, he is rescued by a strange princess who can transform into a dragon.
Ichiro has no idea where he is, or how to get back home - and even if he did make it back, an almost certain death would await him. Yet, the loyal soldier is determined to return to Japan no matter what it takes, in order to fulfill a promise he made...
Dragon Tribe
Known by several names, such as Dragons, lizards, and Archgenians, this tribe is the oldest demi-human race in this world. They are said to live up to ten times longer than humans. Female dragons are born in humanoid forms, and as they age, some of them gain the ability to transform into a flying, fire-breathing wyvern... In rare cases, they can also spit lighting. The males of the tribe look like lizardmen - they cannot transform, but their powerful build allows them to excel as soldiers and warriors.
Dog Tribe
Also known as Lulucarions, the dog tribe is a short-lived race that values strength. Thanks to their stamina, alertness, and agility, they excel at guerilla warfare in the mountains. However, they tend to not be very clever. Only the females are capable of shapeshifting between their dog forms and humanoid forms, while the males remain in a wolfman-like form at all times.
Cat Tribe
Also known as Chaolia, the members of this tribe have keen minds and weak bodies, opposite of the dogs. Very curious, they just can't seem keep still, which explains their nomadic behavior. Some Chaolia are accomplished sorcerers, using a type of magic unique to their tribe.
Mermaid Tribe
A race of only women, who can breathe underwater when they transform into their half-fish form. They sing a powerful song called the "sacred chant," but they dislike fighting and war, and declare themselves pacifists. However, attacks from the other tribes have caused their number to dwindle to the edge of extinction.
Undead
Also called zombies, Undead are born when a necromancer temporarily summons the soul back to a corpse. They can be controlled only when they are within the necromancer's range, otherwise they simply rampage wherever they please. In war they are used as disposable soldiers. Their performance varies wildly depending on the race they belonged to before dying, the freshness of the corpse, and each individual's abilities. In any case, their bodies are doomed to decompose if they are not maintained.
Dwarves
Small creatures who live underground. They run the Miners' Guild, which is responsible for distributing metals and minerals to each country. Although dexterous and intelligent, they tend to be seen as a lower-class tribe because of their short-temper. They are very proud and inflexible, which can sometimes get them into trouble.
The Principality of Wisla
The country of pure humans, who call themselves "the new race." Although the country shares its origins with the Archgene Kingdom, Wisla considers demi-human tribes as inferior, and does not recognize their rights.

Was stoked to get this. Love the character design! Can't really recomend it though. It's a bit long winded and completely linear to this point. Not one choice to make yet. The story was good at the beginning but I've started to lose more interest in it as the reading piles on. Don't get me started on the translation choices! Why would a Japanese sailor sound like an over the top British privateer? I just don't understand.4 found this helpful
As the descriptions do mention, the protagonist is a hardened WWII soldier who's got the spirit and tact together, somehow finding himself landing into a land straight out of a fantasy genre. While the story does seem to revolve mainly around him, there's a bit more to it than that, yet that didn't really feel all that interesting to me. The artworks, depictions of everything and all.. I've enjoyed it. The scenery was really something, but it fell really short on it, and is mostly the so called filler, otherwise the adventure is a bit more detailed storytelling that novels usually have. The characters do get introduced one by one, as as they are even on the store page, yet the myself didn't read anything and so I had to connect the dots on the run. Each of the main characters seemed to carry quite deep personality that did get referred to a lot, making the reading really enjoyable and many times even relatable. I've loved those parts that made me feel where are the characters coming from, and how it wasn't short on the character development. .. Sort of. The brought up sarcastic remarks, irony, and everything combined have made the reading a bliss, many times a really fun experienc…2 found this helpful
It's a good story with great artwork, fanservice and funny moments. However, I do have some problems with it: - I don't like the main character. The way he talks to the people is so different from me, that it's impossible for me to immerse myself into his viewpoint. - There are a lot of dialogues that don't serve any purpose and just make the game artificially longer. - Some scenes are super annoying to read/watch. For example, almost the whole chapter about the dwarfes/zombies was super annoying and I found myself starting to skip through some of the scenes. That said however, I think this VN was a great experience for me.2 found this helpful
Like many people have pointed out, the localization of the main character's dialogue is freaking atrocious and wildly distracting. Otherwise, this is a really well-made visual novel with an amazing amount of content. I might say a bit TOO much content, but that's for you to decide. If you don't mind 40+ hours of reading, then you're in for a treat.
Intricate story and excellent translation so far, this novel grabs you by the body part of your choice and pulls you in. Well worth a cold dreary afternoon under blanket with a cup of tea and a steam deck.
Yes, but probably no. Story wise? Isekai!? Cool in my book! [spoiler]But name calling is rather... childish, and not really insulting nor comedic[/spoiler] But the port is so bad... or should I call the native resolution, BAD? Instead of making it a 1920x1080P native full screen, all it does is make it "Fit-to-full-screen"---just as what Windows' desktop background would do. Yes, it's buggy, but I like the story nonetheless. Using F12 would minimize the game, seriously, what a crappy hotkeys that can't even be mapped by your own liking? So you won't be able to SS your waifus... If you do so, the screenshot notif will take half of your screen in full screen, making it a bad experience. It feels like I'm playing a game from Windows XP but trying it on Win7. If you're buying this because there's a sale? Think again! You will probably get annoyed on how un-optimized this game is even if it's an interesting one. For now, I really don't recommend the application holding the story. If they could somehow change the engine, I would definitely support it. But alas, it's been 2 years without any re-engineering on their side. Got this with RP + 30% discount. (Still, definitely not worth it b…
