About Kuroinu Redux
A visual novel that tells the story of a mercenary who betrays the allies who sent him into battle.
Revered high-elf goddess incarnate
Celestine Lucross
A high elf revered as the reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia, who is widely worshipped by the people of Eos. She is adored, respected, and loved by all of the people of the Seven Shield Alliance, but in that same vein, she is abhored by all demons. Her flawless skin and beauty are known far and wide.
“I have faith in everybody... I pray for us... And I will continue to watch until the very end...”
Supreme dark-elven matriarch
Olga Dischordia
Voice: Tokio Aoi
The dark-elf queen of a fallen kingdom, with long black hair and a perpetual, almost melancholic expression. Pure dark elves are extremely rare, rarer even than high elves. She considers dark elves to be a noble race far and above other races. As a witch, she possesses the unique ability to increase the physical prowess of monsters several times over—and is the cause of hundreds of years of war and atrocities.
“This... is a holy site... You cannot enter it...”
Faithful royal retainer
Chloe
Voice: Tori King
Young knightess and loyal attendant to Olga, having sworn lifelong allegiance to her queen. She is half dark elf, half mortal, but despises all men because of the terrible treatment she suffered at human hands from birth until Olga took her in. Exceedingly straight-laced.
“I will serve my queen until my body wastes away...”
Proud princess knight
Alicia Arcturus
Voice: Ichigo Momoi
The beautiful sole daughter of the Arcturus family, a prestigious noble family in Eos. As commander of the Knights of St. Iris—the main military unit at Fortress One—she is highly respected and admired by her subordinates. Her skills are a credit to her own perseverance and not a reflection of her bloodline. Minister Beardsley is plotting against her somehow, though she remains oblivious.
“This is absurd... This is treachery... I will not forgive that man...!”
Mysterious Eastern priestess
Kaguya
Voice: Mariya Kurata
The leader of Fortress Three, she is the chief of a group of priestesses who worship strange gods. Always quiet, with a vague air that makes it difficult to read her mind. While attentive to her subordinates, she is essentially uninterested in anything other than the gods she serves. She is now being targeted by an Evocator, who was once a member of her group but has fallen off the righteous path, and is now set on subjecting her to an experiment to create a god to surpass all gods...
“Our task... is to behave as the gods desire...”
Ex-captain of the Holy Knights
Claudia Levantine
Voice: Mei Misonoo
Leader of a knighthood that defends Fortress Six and Fortress Seven, she also serves as the high elf Celestine’s personal bodyguard. A moral woman married to a civilian named Klaus, when it comes to battle, she is as formidable as a war god. Though happily married, she has yet to bear a child.
“Please be at ease. All the armies of the Seven Shields Alliance will fight together and crush our foe.”
Eos, the western plains of the continent of Serenus—
With the dark-elven queen’s influence finally waning, the centuries-long war between the allied races and her demon army seems to be entering its final phase...
Desperate to end the bloodshed once and for all, the Seven Shields Alliance—seven strongholds along Eos’s northernmost border united by an elven reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia—seek out the assistance of the protagonist Vult and his Black Dog Mercenaries.
However, the young Vult wastes no time in betraying them, moving his headquarters to the realm of the dark elf Queen Olga herself!
Shock, panic, indignation, then grief... Eos’s inhabitants cannot believe their fate at the hands of this treacherous “hero” as he leads his minions into their towns and villages, and even the lands of former friends and allies.

[h1] Developers — we need a TRUE HAPPY END! We need a continuation of these heroines’ stories with a proper, hopeful ending!!! [/h1] [h2] In 2025 this cannot be the way it all ends. [/h2] [h3] (My review is marked as [u] “positive” [/u] only because of my love for the characters - [u] Olga Discordia and Celestine Lucross [/u] - and my respect for them in the anime and manga.) [/h3] [b] Kuroinu [/b] is the darkest, most distressing and heart-wrenching visual novel I have ever played. Even compared to the anime or the manga, this is something else entirely — and not in a good way. Although I expected a compelling story with romance and adult drama, I found myself dragged through a merciless journey of despair and tragedy. This is a world many admire for its unforgettable and stunning characters — the elf queens [b] Olga Discordia and Celestine Lucross [/b] — and yet so many hate the experience it delivers: emptiness, weight, an abyss of helplessness and mourning. [u] That is exactly why this franchise needs a continuation with a real happy ending, a future for these women. [/u] At first I bought this game because I loved the world, the characters, and above all Olga Discordia and…6 found this helpful
Buy this game if you want more deeper story and more scene than anime also go download uncen patch6 found this helpful
I believe there were times when Steam truly became a place for fans of Eroge. When I think about that, I think about titles such as Saya no Uta, published by JAST USA; Kyonyuu Fantasy, published by MangaGamer; Honoo no Oppai Isekai Ero Academy, published by Frontwing. and yes, I would also consider the release of Kuroinu one of those crucial moments when Shiravune brought it to Steam the other day. which was like, 2 years ago. Feels old huh? As for the very content of the game itself. It's kind of your average fantasy nonsense—full of BS fetishes covered by a simple, serviceable plot. I mean, if you don't mind goblin stuff you could give it a try. For me, I can totally see myself going after Liquid after completing this one.2 found this helpful
Kuroinu Redux, developed by Liquid and published by Shiravune, is a dark fantasy visual novel that explores themes of betrayal, conquest, and power struggles within a richly detailed, high-fantasy world. The story centers around Vult, a mercenary commander who shockingly turns against the Seven Shields Alliance, his former comrades, and aligns himself with the enigmatic dark-elven Queen Olga. This act of treason sets off a chain of events that lead to the subjugation of the continent of Eos, where Vult establishes a new order known as the "Service Nation," forcing those defeated into servitude. The narrative unfolds through interactions with a broad cast of characters, each adding layers of complexity to the tale of domination and moral ambiguity. As a visual novel, Kuroinu Redux places a strong emphasis on storytelling and character development. The gameplay consists primarily of reading through carefully crafted dialogue and narrative sequences, with occasional choices that influence the flow of the story. The experience is further enriched by fully voiced Japanese dialogue, which helps bring emotional depth to the characters and heightens immersion in the game’s grim atmosphere…2 found this helpful
