ACE Academy

Good fun; too bad there's no sequel. And that PixelFade closed. Wish I had heard of them before that.

ACE Academy is one of those games you finish and immediately wish you could experience again for the first time. The characters feel genuinely alive, the humor actually lands, and the choices matter enough that you start second-guessing yourself in the best way. The mix of slice-of-life moments, mecha action, and wholesome character routes kept me hooked way longer than I expected. What surprised me most is how naturally the story pulls you in. It’s lighthearted when it should be, emotional when it counts, and never drags. If you enjoy visual novels with charm, personality, and a cast you’ll actually remember, this one’s an easy recommendation. Honestly? One of the most enjoyable VN experiences I’ve had on Steam.

esta bonito

played it like 8 years ago but I finished it so it's prolly good

Думаю, я прошёл или дропнул все хоть сколько-нибудь качественные визуальные новеллы на англо-русском языке. Не могу сказать, что это самая сильная внка из всех пройдённых, наверное она не войдёт даже в топ 5, но это первая игра, которую я покупаю в магазине после того, как успешно прошёл на пиратке, первая из тысячи пройденных. В моём представлении это всё же что-то говорит о её качестве. Собственно, вот мой короткий отзыв, который я оставил пару лет назад: Неожиданно очень сильная игра. + 1)Юмор шедеврален 2)Персонажи хорошие 3)Повседневность неожиданно достаточно интересна, чтобы не было особо заметно отсутствие явной сюжетной линии. Вся игра это чисто повседневность 4)Интересные выборы с некоторыми последствиями. 5)Прекрасная озвучка 6)Valerie - 1)Отсутствие сюжета в привычном его представлении. Жаль лишь, что следующая игра от студии мне не очень понравилась.

Is it the best visual novel or interactive story out there? No, not by a long shot. However, is it a fun and well-made experience? Absolutely. The story may be fairly cheesy and filled with typical manga/anime romance tropes, with a touch of sci-fi mech added for good measure. Its still a resalable story in its genre. You'll encounter all the classic stereotypes, from the goofball to the super shy girl, and more. The visuals, while not the most breathtaking, are perfectly adequate for the style chosen and contribute to the overall charm of the game. One of the standout features is the plethora of choices available to the player. While it's not always clear how these choices impact the story beyond affecting a hidden metric of how much an NPC likes you, it still add a fun layer of engagement that keeps the experience fresh. Do I recommend this game? Yes, definitely. It's a delightful experience for fans of visual novels, dating sims, and/or manga-inspired games. If you're new to this genre and want to see if it's for you, this game serves as an excellent starting point. It's easy to grasp, and you won't need to overthink every decision or manage a plethora of details. Overall, it's a light, enjoyable adventure that provides just the right amount of fun without overwhelming the player.
