Travel through the fairy-tale-like world as the duo, experience their lively daily adventures, and gradually encounter the life story of a mysterious girl who came down from the sky.
Meanwhile, don't forget to fight against the everpresent monsters—"Darkritters!" These dangerous enemies threaten the life of Illuminators constantly. Sharpen your fighting skills, defeat ferocious monsters and ensure peace in your community!
During your adventure, you will fight against various enemies. You can defeat them with a cascade of powerful combo attacks!

Great visuals and great music. However the story is IMO chaotic and superficial. And most of the gameplay is indeed reading story. I gave this story many chances, but my eye-rolling never stopped.2 found this helpful
A great game with a lot of plot twists that are executed really well, along with many side characters who each get their own story. It is mostly a visual novel with some gameplay, the gameplay is fine but becomes repetitive fairly quickly. The only real criticism is the translation, which is understandable but clearly not done by a native English speaker, as many sentences have an unusual structure. However, the story makes up for all the flaws.2 found this helpful
Noctuary is a product that blends Visual novel with occasional battle stages. Managed to complete it in 30 hours while doing all side missions (without alternative endings and without DLC stories) so it has length that allows for multiple plots to unfold while not being too tiring. [h2]Story[/h2] The story starts slow which might turn off some people but later action starts to progress faster, reaching it's full potential around 15 hour mark (story's mid point). Events inside the story are well thought out and events don't feel out of place nor forced which made story engaging and believable. The game utilizes quite unique theme for it's worldbuilding that has impact on character names, names of some items found in game and character actions. I also like that after beating the game you can use your save file to review every mission / story including ones you decided to skip. [h2]Presentation[/h2] For presentation, game offers beautiful backgrounds and character arts. There are occasional CGs but I think that character designs are memorable and there was lots of care put into them. While you can view all backgrounds and arts that appear in game inside gallery, I suggest buying …1 found this helpful
I 100% it and although this game is not perfect, I have a lot of good things to say about it. The challenging bits of the mission and bosses, the very interesting plot twists, etc. I compiled all good things that I can say here: https://fordgamerprofile.com/blog/bullet-hell-plot-twists-and-zero-fan-service-why-you-need-to-play-noctuary
really nice the story is good so far :) looking forward to the rest
From start to finish this was a great experience, the characters and story were the biggest strengths. I also love the music and gameplay, especially some of the later boss fights, really fun. Highly recommend!
