Noctuary

This game was wonderful! I loved the story all the way through. 10/10 ♥

Really great visual novel with gameplay, some reviews are weird because it's as if they didn't expect you'd have to read in a VN. It's first and foremost a VN, gameplay is fun and varied though. As you read stories you unlock effects you can slot into your build. You have to go through all sidestories to unlock everything for the builds and all the endings. Really cute art. Great voiceovers, I've especially liked Cantonese version. Story twists were awesome and unexpected, really well done!

the game has some of the craziest bad endings out there with an insanely emotional soundtrack and japanese VAs putting in crazy work with their performance. besides that just a good story with a lot of stuff to think about and it's pretty yuriful...

Just finished Noctuary. Game felt like 80% VN and 20% gameplay lol. Anywei quick review: - W art, W chill music of course my goat Taishi & Nhato but yeah this VN need more banger music. - W Characters but feel like the game spends a bit too much time on them. Lots of extra dialogue and character stuff made the story feel kinda slow sometimes, leaving me finding it kinda hard to stay hooked and focused. - Gameplay kinda zzz at first. It's mostly short top-down action stages, kinda Hades-ish. Nothing crazy but it's fun enough. Bosses only started getting interesting later into the game. Trust me bro Relink copied this game <(") - Same thought with story too, the first two chapters were like building up so kinda zzz. Side quest didn't have voice acting so kinda eepy to read all that. (f***ing glad I finished it) >Overall liked it. Decent VN, great vibes, say gex. >>My neg: Not fully voiced, pacing, best girl got ) ) ) ) ) )

[h1] 9.5/10 Love, Courage, and Hope: A Romantic Floral Picture Book Drawn with Clair Obscur - 愛與勇氣與希望，用光與影繪製的一本浪漫的花繪本 [/h1] "Noctuary" is developed by Gratesca Studio in Chengdu, China, and is a story-rich title following "Far Away". The game's genre is somewhat hard to pin down. It has the action system and characteristics of a typical RPG, the experience of a SHMUP, and also incorporates Touhou Project / SLG danmaku dodging. ([u]It has difficulty settings.[/u]) [h2]Story[/h2] In terms of story, the game features a fictional setting with a rather unique worldview and the concept of illuminators. Whether during gameplay or after finishing it, I could see traces or elements of many past masterpieces in the script design, character dialogue, and even the gameplay. In both the overt and covert design and dialogue, many works are referenced or parodied, such as "Evangelion," "Monster Hunter," "Touhou Project," "Mobile Suit Gundam," and even Lu Xun's "My Old Home"/"Hometown"............ Although many comments mention that the first few chapters are quite boring, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Personally, I felt it was okay. And I think these chapters are a n…

I didn't like the combat that much and the beginning part of the plot was a slog to get through, especially the unvoiced side quests. I understand that the story gets way better later on, but personally did not want to begrudgingly play for another 10 hours so that I can get to the good part.
