About Ideology in Friction

✦ AI summary

Lead knight cadet Clacier through a branching JRPG where your choices determine whether you'll become a noble hero or take darker paths, all while separated from your best friend Annette by war and mysterious monsters. Experience fully voiced story scenes, one-on-one animated combat encounters you can avoid entirely, and a richly illustrated world packed with quests and NPCs to discover.



In the Kingdom of Viktor, a group of cadets is finishing their training to become knights. Not many make their way through the grueling training the school demands, but Clacier and Annette are among the top of the graduating class, ready to make their mark on the world!

However, fate has something different in store for these two friends. Mysterious beasts have been appearing throughout the land, and with many young knights falling in battle against these unimaginable horrors, it doesn't take long for them to start losing their friends from the Royal Knight Academy as well.

Even worse, while monsters roam the lands, mankind can't help but fight among themselves. Soon enough, Clacier and Annette find themselves driven to separate paths that place them on different sides of the growing conflict. How will their story end?

Your choices shape the story in this JRPG! Depending on your actions, victories, and defeats, Clacier can end up on entirely different paths. Will you be a noble knight or adopt more cunning methods to reach your goals?

Ideology in Friction is based around one-on-one encounters and features animated combat. While traveling the world, you can either take on enemies directly or avoid them by dashing past them, so there are no bothersome random encounters to worry about!

What's more, you can take on all kinds of different quests from a wide variety of NPCs. Be they townsfolk or your friends from the Royal Knight Academy, you can get to know everyone. Who knows what you'll learn during your time in Viktor?

Voiced Main Characters
The main characters are voiced in Japanese, both during story sequences and in combat!

Rich Cast
There's a huge cast of NPCs to get to know, from noble knight cadets to scheming superiors.

Huge World to Explore
Experience a fantastical world, take on quests, and fight incredible beasts!

Masterful Art
With a staggering amount of art for different events as well as animated combat, this RPG really is a sight to behold.

The story is good but the game system is not

First, let me point out the fact that the gameplay is a complete joke. The main selling point to this being an RPG maker game vs a visual novel is the corruption and seggs mechanics, which hey I don't mind, but as it is the gameplay is holding back the experience substantially. As a visual novel-like, the Knights route was a super fun experience akin to an anime like Akame ga Kill. Edgy, sometimes to the point of comedy, at times silly, but does manage to have some hype moments here and there. I highly recommend doing this route first, and if you're only going to play the one route you're not missing out on too much plotwise. Drifter route is great if you just want to play as a sociopathic coomer. It's a cathartic experience that's made more enjoyable by information from the other routes. I do think it suffers from being needlessly closed off; you only have one hub town for most of the game, so your pool of NPCs to mess with is unfortunately low. You never get access to the biggest hub town in this mode. It would have been a nice addition as postgame content without much effort. I also wish you could add the boys to your harem, but whatever The other route was the weakest, havin…

Long game with a great story. There are plenty of h scenes and they are good but they almost feel distracting when you are so immersed in the story. Kind of wish they removed the non vital to the plot h scenes and tweaked the combat system a bit because this should be a top tier rpg with mass appeal instead of being viewed as just another h game. It would also make a great anime in my opinion. Anyway I bought it expecting an h game but ended up getting much more and I am quite happy with that.

I have completed the game a long long time ago. I think it is fair to say this title is one of the best from OneOne1 studio. It has enough plot branches for you to either go as the good ol' heroine or actually be a fallen heroine. Excluding the mature content, the narrative and plot should be enough to sink in hours.
