Slow start, but great VN. Also, why does Amazon always DESTROY my game boxes?
Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2020
The only reason why I'm giving this product a 4 instead of 5 stars is because the collector's edition box was damaged during shipping. As a collector who keeps the boxes, it can be infuriating when your stuff is damaged because of poor packaging. This isn't the first time Amazon has done this to me, so I'd recommend buying from somewhere else if you can. You can see the image above for the damage.Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2020
So I remembered watching the anime of this game a long time ago and thinking it was pretty damn amazing. The story itself had a lasting impression on me and some of the characters were memorable to the point where I remember their names after so long ago.
Years later, I pick up this game and thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgia trip. It's exactly what you'd expect from a visual novel. There is barely any game-play as the sole focus of the game is its story. The only difference between this and the anime is that you can have a few different never-before-seen endings with some of the characters.
The game is Japanese voiced (with English subtitles). I'd also like to mention that (in my opinion) the story has a relatively slow start before it becomes interesting. However, I wouldn't give up on the game because you find things to not make any sense. Things pick up quick, even though there are some things that'll make you want to say, "WTF."
Bottom line: If you've NEVER seen the anime or if you're a fan of the series, I'd definitely recommend giving this game a shot.
