Version: Part 5.
Rating: 8.5/10
Fun+unique premise for a VN. An MMA fighter with a military background who's trying to get his life together and deal with the trauma of his past.
I'll try to keep this one short and rattle off some points I think are valid.
The story is interesting and somewhat engaging. It's still early days of course but I'd love for more of the focus to be on MMA now that we are settling in with the characters.
Characters are all good IMO. They have interesting dialogue and look great. I like that there's build up to differing degree's depending on the LI. Facial expressions are sometimes off but I appreciate the attempt to use a lot of them for the most part, it's better than the alternative.
Renders look great and animations get better as the game goes on. The last one with Kana was really hot.
Lack of music really rips the soul out of this game, but It's not a valid criticism due to the game being in development. It just has to be said because it makes the world of difference. - Play with your own playlists.
As much as I really like Kana (It could be another LI, but Kana's path feels the most interjected), I would have liked 1 less LI. They are all done so well that I feel I want more time with them and it actually takes me out of the story due to switching between them all.
MC: Probably the best looking MC I have ever seen. Helps to connect with him a bit but I do wish we got a few shots of MC alone and possibly struggling to cope. We see he has deep issues but he really is a stone wall even when he's on his own. I think it would serve the story well if we see him break down or just have a cry to himself. It takes nothing away from him, he's seen so much. But it helps us, the player see more of him and help us empathize.
Conclusion: A very fun VN with a great deal of potential. I wish I could connect with the characters more because It's definitely possible with the current models+dialogue. I just needed more time with them individually and some good accompanying music to hook me in. - Give it a go!
