The story is gutted, and railroad-linear whereas the previous VNs had multiple choices. The pretty production values and Japanese VA (what is wrong with English, I wonder? It's a beautiful language!) came at the expense of practically everything that made the previous Sunrider VNs (First Arrival and Mask of Arcadius) the gems they were. So to take away from this and other reviews, unless the game is heavily discounted or you can burn money, just wait for someone to do a "Let's Play" of it, because it'll be pretty much the same experience.Īs a former patreon backer (paid $10 for beta access) and longtime fan of the series, I really cannot reccomend this game, at all. I've seen a lot of backers leave since the release of this game, which I'm assuming are due to the fact that next to none of the expectations were met, so the next installment (oh yeah, it ends with a "to be continued") will probably be worse than Liberation Day if it even gets made. I honestly feel bad for those who supported this game on Patreon, because it feels like the developer just took all that Patreon money so he could take a trip to Japan and justify it with unneeded Japanese voice-acting. For the most part, it's a copy-paste of MoA with a few new units, and an altered (not upgraded) store/research system. Oh, and remember how in MoA you say a bunch of nice things to Sola and she starts falling for you? Well forget about that, now she's an emotionless drone who does nothing but observe Asaga.Īside from a few marked improvements in gameplay and art style which have been mentioned in other reviews, Sunrider: Liberation Day is just lazy and seems to only exist to put money into the pocket of the developer. Did you end up capturing Cosette? Well you never get to talk to her or try to persuade her to join you (though she'd obviously stab you in the back), as both her and L7NN are forgotten about fairly quickly. You're forced into a romance with one of the more boring girls, just so her betrayal (via Alice) and death affect the protag more, though most players probably would've felt the shock and horror regardless, while Claude, Krysta, and Icari (best waifu) are all pushed to the wayside, and all interactions with Asaga and Ava are only there to provide jealousy. You don't even get a ship screen like you did in MoA. There are only 2 or 3 choices throughout the game and, when you do make them, all your choices (from MoA, as well, which is a small plus) just provide flavor text without affecting anything in the story. Loved Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius? Loved Sunrider Academy? Love RPG-style visual novels in general? Well move along, because this game isn't what you're looking for. Note: It is highly recommended that you play Sunrider Mask of Arcadius (for free!) before playing Sunrider Liberation Day.
