I am looking into something called Big Bang Age, is it any good?

Elisen I heard is good, but people tell me is really short.

Gadget Trial - is that all robot girls? o_O Not sure what kind of personality the story have.

Dhomochevsky · 2013-05-09, 13:04

I've played Big Bang Age a bit, but I don't think I understand it yet.
All the battles I've encountered were pretty easy, unless I left my weakest chars alone to fight a boss.
Every now and then the scope widens. First you fight for the school, then neighbouring schools, then ultimately Japan.
But that happened so fast, I fear I might be halfway through the game already and nothing much happened yet.

Apart from that (and keeping in mind I haven't played it much yet) it's a pretty good game. More about managing your forces, than about battle strategy. Some nice characters.

I'm also playing LxC2 now and doing Hime's route. The budding romance strongly resembles how it went with that red-haired girl's route in LxC1, whose name I can't believe I forgot since she was my favorite girl there. She was adorable when their romance started budding.

One route done in Yumeiro Alouette and first off my majojr complaints:

Spoiler for rants and Suzume's route:

What kind of plot is it? is it just school vs school martial art w. magic? Or is a more in-depth plot of some kind?

It's pretty much what you said, you're not really going to find anything at Kamidori's level of gameplay, customization and story in any other English translated VN game out there unfortunately. BBA is pretty much like Sengoku Rance, minus all the sexual abuse the MC does to the heroines and other girls. Although, it does have some of it every now and then, depending on your choices, it's done by some random dudes thankfully.

The strategy in the battles are really easy to figure out, so the learning curve isn't too steep. One thing I didn't like though, was that you had to station a large portion of your units around the map just so you can maintain control of the land you've conqured, while very few (your favorite units) will be taking part in most battles. The problem I had with this is that for about 80% of the game, those units are doing nothing besides helping you with your income... They're characters that can fight and talk with, so why am I not using them in battle more??? Sengoku Rance doesn't do this, just conquer, and move on.

Tears of Tiara I felt the same way as you pretty much. I couldn't continue playing that game even though it seems to show a promising customization system, I just couldn't stand the battles, and the characters didn't really click with me.
Gadget Trial I felt was pretty darn awful, the combat was too tedious for me.

ArchmageXin · 2013-05-09, 21:10

Oh, I don't expect Kamdori, but the whole martial art with magic between schools is way too over played these days. To expect good story and good game play is tough.

I am trying Demonbane and G String Maou right now...people claim it is a good VN to rival Tsukihime...so lets see.

Because I am truly gave up expecting a good medieval strat game now.

Rival? Not that hard, since Tsukihime is great but not great enough for people to say that something else rivals it and so on. Not trying to put down G Senjou, cause I read lots of praise for it.

If it says it can rival say MuvLuv Alternative, then THAT's an achievement.

Oh no, Tsukihime/Fate isn't that amazing, but it is a very high Bar for Eroge to cross in term of story writing. I actually got excited reading the story, and like it more for the story than any hentai content.

Not many eroge can match that.

Is MuvLuv Alternative REALLY that good? I've seen a couple people praising it like it's the Jesus of VNs, but I couldn't even get past the school life segment in the first MuvLuv game thanks to how annoying every character is...

hyl · 2013-05-10, 11:06

I think it's very subjective. Some might prefer darker or more complex stories, while others like a good drama, tragedy, comedy or a lighthearted romance.
No matter how well it's written (like Tsukihime and Muv-Luv Alternative), some people don't like certain stories and each person probably has their own "standard" for the best written eroges.

Edit:Come to think of it, I see quite often that people pick the games made by Key and Type moon as their "standard"....

Mahou · 2013-05-12, 11:44

I completed Yumeiro Alouette and looking past the huge flaw called sidecast, as I metnioned already, it was actually enjoyable. There wasn't really that much icha-icha unfortunately. The dramas were no novelty, so only one drama-genre had an actual "impact" to me. Really, I think I have grown extremly tired of non-name classmates trying to "kill" a MC with jealousy or those so-called "private" talks where he gets dragged away, heck in this case they even tried to seriously injure him in one route. And that's where it was definitely no fun, but simply s*umbag behavior. Heck, I skipped most dialogues where it got stupid.
The Alouette route progressed differently than I expected it of which I'm still unsure if it's good or bad

The route itself was heavily based on Suzume's route thus a good part could be fast-forwarded. It had one nice surprise, but the huge "revelation" was somehow average.
The choice selection resolved only around whether to click on the pendant when it started to glow or ignore it. Strangely, while it was important for the route selection, it had no direct consequences/changes in the next few lines.
For the non-spoilers, lastly the MC: He was sadly 90 % a major hetare and got pushed around a lot. As I also mentioned in my former post, he's completely useless at school and is only good at home cooking and track & field/running, though he mostly skips training of the latter.

Spoiler for Route comments:

In order of completiton:
Suzume: Daughter of rich family, tsundere. I liked her standard reaction of "Chunchun yu na!" whenever Kaname called her by that nickname *lol*. Strangely, it could make me always smile. She has a younger sister in hospital for whom she'd do anything, hence captain drama appears with a certain marriage partner, but Kaname decided to cause trouble at the wedding party and ultimately they escaped to their school because he didn't think ahead. Yes, that's the conclusion and it felt somehow half-baked as there was no settlement between the family and her. Her family traditions were quite cruel as you learn in Alouette.

Mihane: Also a (rude) tsundere and kouhai of Kaname and the "mermaid" of the swimming club. Her involvement started suddenly when her mom and Kaname's father married and informed them by phone *lol*, thus she had to move and live in Kaname's house as "family". To by positive surprise her character grew, despite the occational tsun-moments, lots of better during their interaction at home. I expected that both would eventually talk about their sport uneasiness, but that was ignored. Instead, she knew Kaname from middle school and fell in love with him when she had seen him running during a competiton. See the drama already? She confessed they did the deed, but no kiss as it would "destroy" the last string of the bro-sis relationship and to completely sever it was scary for Mihane. Fastforward when both decided to finally proceed past that last "resistant". Suddenly her mother and Kaname's father came back home so no koibito because both didn't want to destroy the happiness of their parents. On the good side, their parents found out their feelings rather fast and divorced on paper so that their children could become happy.

Asahi: The oblivious airhead character and one of Kaname's childhoodfriends. Former member of the track and field club. Her obliviousness made her look quite selfish when she ignored Kaname's "trouble" and just wanted to eat his food. Yet, at the same time she tried a few times to change places with Yuu, her twin sister, in order to be with Kaname in the class and is generally very fond of him

. Their relationship progression was a bit strange and not made really transparent -> no confession as you'd know it. Her drama is an "illness"-drama which was solved in a sort of miracle way (that is before knowing the truth in Alouette). Her route was the only one where Kaname's fear of running seriously was ever developped and where he had his "cool moment". Only route where Yuu showed a fragile side.

Yuzuki: Student council president and beauty. She had a surprsing joker-ish/teasing character towards Kaname, which lead to an early handjob ero-scene. I didn't like her drama too much as the antagonist was nothing more, but an annoying brat-ish no-face first grader, who wanted to become the next student president in order to access a special right for one time. That special right allows a student pres. to give an absolute order that everyone in school had to follow, eg. he would have the chance to fire a teacher for whatever reason he wanted, ultimately making everyone obey him just out of fear of that special right.

And~ Alouette: Based on many parts of Suzume's route and her younger sister Hibari. You had flashback scenes where Kaname, Asahi and Yuu met her at a park as childern and at that time she gave Kaname the pendant, which can fulfill wishes (lies!) and they promised to meet again at school again. In reality she has been bound in the hospital due to an illness. She's the inheritor of the family due to her two-colored eyes which are the proof of successorship. Anyway, so who was it that Kaname met during childhood (and still can't remember)? Noone, but Suzume. She has also those two-colored eyes, but hid one behind contact lenses for the sake of her sister. So in place of her sis, she went to the park and suggerated the memory to Hibari -> making her think it's her own memory. With the help of Tsukaka, one of Kaname's friends, they evenutally decided to turn all their false stories into reality and built the school where Hibari is the director of, just like "her" promise with Kaname, Yuu and Asahi. With sheer finincal prowress they made the school into a giant fairytale where each possible scenario corresponds to a route -> the sudden brother-sister relationship between Mihane and Kaname, -> miracle recovery of Asahi's illness, etc. All that just to make Hibari happy during her monotounous hospital life. I didn't find that part so great, though. I would have loved a KanamexHibari end because we had already a Suzume ending. Their twisted family rules made a forced marriage with Tsukasa, simply in order to "make" another successor of the family in case of Hibari's death or as a possible blood donator for Hibari's operation (she has a super rare blood type, something like 1 of 100.000 has the same blood type). But, both Suzume and Tsukasa inteded to go along with it for the sake of Hibari.
Ultimately, Kaname had the idea to make use of the special right of a student president, but overslept the deadline for applying as an election candidate. Long story short: Long speech of him during election day -> all students decided to take a donator test and they found in Mihane a compatible blood donator for the operation. Happy end.

Mahou's favorite route order: Asahi's (to my own surprise) > Mihane = Suzume > Alouette > Yuzuki (mainly due to the - to me -stupid drama)
Personal conclusion: Nice OST, cute characters in Mihane during her route(!), Suzume, Hibari and Yuzuki. A horrible sidecast with their treatment towards Kaname despite him being mostly useless (which didn't help obviously). The premisse of a wish-granting pedant was only in a sober sense true, though.
Trying before buying!

That is because most Eroge are of the following brand:

1) Just plain pic and click

2) Some kind of mini game then pic and click (SEE: Ace of Spades)

3) A dating sim of dubious value, just up your score until sex

4) Another game of some kind that reward you with sex.

So when type Moon broke the trend and wrote a novel rival Lord of Rings (at least for word count-you can debate quality), where sex is tastefully done or secondary to the plot, that is why it is consider the gold standard.

Is it amazing or godly? Not really. But it is a refreshing change from most eroges that absolutely devoid of plot.

Newprimus · 2013-05-12, 21:45

Tsukihime was famous because it was a great story with lots of backstory and lore made by a couple of broke guys and the resulting quality rivaled that of commercial productions.

Sorry, I cannot agree with this. There are so many mind-blowing eroge out there that's not just your everyday Nukige

Tsukihime is of course a great game but it's not hard to find something to 'rival' it

Of course, like what hyl said, preferences can be subjective

I think what he meant is "most eroges before 2000", which is the year before Tsukihime was released. It was arguably hard to find a better work than Tsukihime at that time. Of course preferences may vary too, but I think the complex plot is what caused it getting more attention and arguably better reception than the most. At least during that time, the only other comparable work was probably Urobuchi's Phantom of Inferno which was released in the same year.

Even taking account eroges before 2000, it's still subjective. If you are more a fan of regular romances, you still have games such as Toheart, Kanon, Air (same year as Tsukihime but a few months earlier).
People who wanted to have some kind of rpg elements might have prefered Ikusa Megami or Pastel chime.
Kana imouto, Comic party, Kizuato and One are also among my classics before Tsukhime was released and if we include all ages VN i still have games such as Memories off and Never7 (any of the games in infinity serie were pretty good)

To say that Tsukihime really was the first one who "did things right", is completely exaggerating

edit:
Different subject : Shoujo Shin'iki , Shoujo Tengoku was a bit of a letdown

True, it was more about a "Wow" factor at the time. Pardon for being unclear with my last post, I was trying to point out from his previously mentioned criteria(albeit exaggerated) of most eroges at the time that had unusual approach in the story (the reason why I decided to use Phantom there) and well done in the process.

I'm aware of the subjectivity coming into play here so not every person will share that sentiment, wasn't trying to imply only Tsukihime "did things right" at the time. Personally I would choose AIR itself as the better work for that period, but looking from the perspective I mentioned Tsukihime took the cake there.

And I didn't count the all-ages VN because, well, they are not Eroge in my book.

@Shoujo Shin'iki
Haven't really started on it yet, but I only keep hearing bad things about it. Guess I will still give it a try since I do enjoy the art.

Mahou ダメ人 - 人間失格 Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: Germany Age: 37	One route done in Yumeiro Alouette and first off my majojr complaints: Spoiler for rants and Suzume's route: - side characters: I rambled about it before, but how they treated Kaname was beyond terrible, comedy or not. If I were Kaname, I'd brutally cut the friendship off (even if only temporary). "Selling" him off just because a scoop, dragging him on a rope to trainining in a dog-like fashion, etc . Sorry, that's just urged me to resist punching my laptop or biting in it. And an overly rude (dateable) Kouhai who constantly calls him hentai and other, even though she didn't even appear much during that route I played. - Kaname himself: Useless at school. This trait has already gotten very old and other VNs showed that you can have both a smart MC + the cast to treat him questionably/trashtalk about him. Annoying trait #2: Only assertive during the ecchi. He gets pushed around by nearly everyone and only partly mans up due to the drama. I don't want the wheel invented anew, but simply a more normal approach. So overall we have an MC, who's by Yuu's definition a hetare. Furthermore, he's bad at academics and not physically strong so that he could have been the "muscle idiot" among the cast. Yet, I felt sorry about him more than I complained. cough Anyway, Suzume's route done. Drama was nothing special and even I could foresee who the wedding candidate for her would be. And if I can predict/foresee something, then the drama/surprise isn't really surprising lol. The confession happened rather abruptly, even though the reader could notice her being in-love before that. Not much icha-icha outside of the two h-scenes due to plot drama that happened immediately after h-scene 1. Otherwise, Suzume is your typical tsundere ojou-sama with a huuuge lack of direction/orientation sense Her "chun-chun (= nickname) iu na!" has been cute. Her ending was not really that resolving. Nontheless I enjoyed her character in the long run.

First you fight for the school, then neighbouring schools, then ultimately Japan. But that happened so fast, I fear I might be halfway through the game already and nothing much happened yet. Apart from that (and keeping in mind I haven't played it much yet) it's a pretty good game. More about managing your forces, than about battle strategy. Some nice characters.

To expect good story and good game play is tough. I am trying Demonbane and G String Maou right now...people claim it is a good VN to rival Tsukihime...so lets see. Because I am truly gave up expecting a good medieval strat game now.
