An unforgiving, highly tactical SRPG, where your troops persist from one battle to another. Aselia is quite old by now, but it deserves to be called a classic. The story is grim but captivating and incorporates some unusual ideas, like the protagonist being at first unable to speak or understand the language of the world he's summoned to. The worldbuilding is remarkable. The real meat, though, is the challenging gameplay where every choice matters and which involves absolutely 0 luck. Aselia has 7 main endings, and fully completing it can easily take 100+ hours. For that, the price point is ridiculously fair. Norio Wakamoto voices 2 characters in the game. For some, this might be worth it for that alone. Originally released in 2003. Also worth noting that Aselia is a prequel to Seinarukana, which is coming on Steam later this year, and I recommend playing this before it.
If you don't think you'd like a visual novel, this is the game for you (if you also love turn-based strategy games like Fire Emblem, Heroes of Might and Magic, Disciple II, etc.). I played the original PC release from JASTUSA years ago (hence the lack of time played here). And by played, I mean obsessed. And by obsessed, I mean I played through every single permutation of the game (colloquially referred to as a 'route') twice. I think the grand total was well over 100 hours of precious life, but it was preciously spent. Aselia is one of those high fantasy stories that really grips you. It tends to hold nothing back, and is very challenging in both its strategic/tactical aspects and in its themes. The themes of said story are pretty excellent, ranging from social prejudice and slavery all the way to love, obligation, and duty (heehee). The gamplay portion, which is very significant if
A Review By an Old Fart for Old Farts (Disclaimer: Don't look at the hours I have logged on the Steam version of this game. My hours belong to the version sold by www.jlist.com.) This game is designed for people in one of three categories: 1) Those who have oceans of patience and actually WANT to be micromanaging dozens of statistics every moment 2) Those who wake up, look in the mirror, and marvel about how Earth is blessed to have someone so great as the person in the mirror 3) Those who like immersive role playing games. If you belong to one of the first two categories, please read a different review to this game. On the other hand, if you belong to the third category and NOT the other two categories, I invite you to continue reading my review. (Aside note: Many thanks go out to Theonegod for making a cheat tool that allowed me to enjoy Aselia the Eternal despite being an
The story is a big focus in a game like this. Everyone and their mom has written something about it, so if you're interested in that, check out someone else's review. What I'm going to focus on is the actual gameplay. I'm about halfway done throwing a guide together for the missions and mechanics of the game as of writing this review, so I won't go too much into what strategies are optimal or anything like that, here. I would reckon that if you're not familiar with permadeath strategy games a-la X-com and fire emblem, you WILL have trouble. The game will make you pay for every mistake you make, and there's very little foreshadowing on what you need to have and when. There will be times where the game spits an enemy at you with a spell too high for you to counter without you having any ability to see it coming. Your whole squad will eat ass and you'll get very familiar with the game ove
In my opinion Aselia the Eternal is one of the greatest visual novels ever. It has a beautiful storyline with lots of twists (some of which you don't see coming), fantastic interaction between characters, the choices you need to make to enter a character's route are a bit subtle, so here I recommend using a guide, and most importantly, for me, actual high repalayability value (which isn't true for a alot of VNs). What I mean by that is that each route has a (sub)storyline and missions unique to that route which makes each playthrough different enough from one another that you don't want to just give up on the game and move on. Basically a bit of strategy is required because what worked on one playthrough might not work on another. If you don't understand what I mean, play the game a couple of times and you'll see.
It sucks to be the first to downvote a game with a 100% positive rating, but this is honestly how I felt. If anyone feels like picking this one up, I recommend waiting for a sale, it feels very hit or miss. Don't be lured in by people saying the game is highly tactical and strategic, even comparing it to Fire Emblem. The gameplay is nothing short of a trial and error fest, after reading the tutorials offered by the game carefully and trying most combinations (which aren't that many) I didn't feel like I had improved or was performing better at all. It's very hard and unintuitive to tell when your defense skill will be enough to block the enemy's attack or not. Some characters are useless and remain so throughout the game (Orpha, Red Spirits in general), and I found myself reloading often to find a combination that would SURVIVE enemy attacks at key moments throughout the story and to ke
