I agree with
Genius_Vorcha descriptions of the game. I mentioned before that to me the story gave off a cinematic movie feel or TV series like Game of Throne. Along with a strong & competent male protagonist from the very beginning and who's prophesied for greater things all the while dealing with his own personal issues and of those people close to him.
Zivairs One of the other things that enticed me to Reluctant Archon is the emphasis on fantasy and supernatural elements in the story. A myth world integrating itself into the world of humans. MC is a highborn sorcerer living in a urban city with a successful career, so he's not a plain human whose suddenly introduced into the world of fantasy & myths. Then you have the different myths & fantasy creatures, spicing up the variety
, making up your own interpretation of them and you can play around exploring them for some interracial/inter-species romance content.
Personally, i've grown tired of the slice-of-life and school-life themed stories (with exceptions, of course). To me, there's not enough High Fantasy (
not medieval) and Space Opera themed story-driven visual novels.
Would be awesome if some sort of cross promotion happened. If not using a character at least a mention of events or something happening in the other game. kind of like Saints row and red faction are linked by ultor.
Sorry, don't mean to nitpick what you said, but for your comparison both Saints Row and Red Faction were created by the same game developer Volition. Both having Ultor, making it a shared universe like in DC and Marvel Comics. Compared to Reluctant Archon and Rebirth, who have different creators.
