Aselia the Eternal -The Spirit of Eternity Sword-

Visual novel with a very deep and fascinating fantasy story, paired with a well done turn based battle system. Took me about 80 hours to play through the game once, but it was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played.

Awesome visual novel scenario + hardcore tactical battles. Top game!

希望能追加R18+DLC, 可以的話繁中更好

Aselia is a mix between tactical and visual novel. The Novel part is done well(the art are.. passable) with a good story ; The lore is smartly implemented(it make use of most of the light medieval fantasy codes and only explain it's own elements) ; The cast of character is mostly well done (weither their background or they're growth) The tactical part is hard, and while i really like it, it may be unfair at first. Let me briefly explain : The gameplay is actually separated in Base building and tactical combats and while the first bunch of fight are quite easy if you didn't take/optimized every ressources you will have a really hard time later on because in the whole game the ressources are finite and the late game enemies are quite strong even with the best squad you could made. There are also quite a lot of replayability as there are 7 possible "route" which change the story quite a bit each time (while it still stay coherent and give more lore) . The game still isn't perfect and suffer from two major problems : the first, completely subjective, two major character in the cast are.. gnii... unsatisfying to stay polite. And the way the story circumvente their shortcming to advance is really annoying. (Make note that even though they are important you won't see them that much) And second problem only rise when you're playing a new game + (the feature is important and sometime necessary for unlocking a few route) : The grind There is no grind when playing in normal difficulty however, when you'll change it for a harder one then it will become not only annoying but borderline impossible. I really advise you to cheat your way on higher difficulty as in the harder one, there isn't enough exp to level up your units.. because past vl 60 the required amount of exp is higher than the ressources cap. I recommend this game (i love it myself) but if you wish to see each ending, seriously search for the trainer.

Buen juego de estrategia, sistemas algo antiguos. Controles algo torpes. Una joya del pasado

当我看到游戏封面：一个少女身着极不协调的厚重铠甲，手持巨大的不成比例的武器，那强烈的视觉反差瞬间将我吸引住了，我一眼就爱上了这个有着纯真眼神的蓝发少女艾塞利亚，毫不犹豫地购入。 游戏的设定很宏大，人设也很细致，机制独特，这些方面都接近满分。当然最出色的是boss的OP，当OP响起时，这一路上一切的苦难和牺牲仿佛都得到了回报。 剧情方面相比而言就逊色一些，很多角色都可以进一步深入，很多坑也没有填。 游戏的主题就是“你为了什么而战（而活着）”。主角从一开始“我只想保护妹妹”一点点成长，学会了不再逞强，学会了依靠朋友。主角不再屈服于命运，从为了保护妹妹而牺牲别人的命运，变成要保护所有人，正因如此，主角才没有像shun一样被自身的欲望吞噬。 不过对我来说最重要的是，艾塞利亚找到了她战斗的意义，她永远不会抛弃我，也不会允许我孤独。

"Fairies Act" is one of my favorite pieces of music.
