I'd like to find some urban fantasy and medievil fantasy visual novels.
I'm looking for stuff with heavy fantasy elements, with a lot of important characters that use magic and/or guns and swords.
No slice of life stories, or over the top comedies please.
Preferably stuff with really beautiful artwork.
Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be complete, but I'd appreciate if you gave me some sort of idea how far along the game is.
I'm also not necessarily looking for stuff where combat is part of the gameplay, but if it's really fun, and really easy, and not grindy go ahead and recommend it, although I would rather have descriptive combat like you'll read in an ebook or physical novel.
Someone else gave a good example of descriptive combat:
Not descriptive combat: "Cloud cast Fire1"
Descrptive combat: "Drawing upon the Mako in his blood, Cloud summons forth a swirl of primal elemental flame and hurling it at the harmless Chocobo in front of him as it looked at Aerith the wrong way, gets pecked to a bloody, quivering lump."
Also descriptive combat:
"Yet still it lives," said the second, sounding much like the first.
"Slay it here," said the first.
"What of the one who guards it with the blade I like not at all?"
"Mortal man?"
"Come find out," I said, softly.
"It is thin, and perhaps it is old."
"Yet it bore the other from the cairn to this place, rapidly and without rest. Let us flank it."
I sprang forward as they moved, and the one to my right leaped toward me.
My blade split its skull and continued on into the shoulder. As I turned, yanking it free, the other swept past me, heading toward the stretcher. I swung wildly.
My blade fell upon its back and passed completely through its body. It emitted a shriek that grated like chalk on a blackboard as it fell in two pieces and began to bum. The other was burning also.
But the one I had halved was not yet dead. Its head turned toward me and those blazing eyes met my own and held them.
"I die the final death," it said, "and so I know you, Opener. Why do you slay us?" And then the flames consumed its head.
I turned, cleaned my blade and sheathed it, picked up the stretcher, ignored all questions, and continued on.
Can you recommend anything like this?
