我发现好像评论区还没有中文评论,所以在玩完这款游戏之后我想留点自己的感想为对这款游戏好奇的人提供一些参考。 这个游戏我是用翻译器玩的,除了一些乐队的术语有些看不懂,其他的语句都很流畅。我想说的是[h3] 这是一款非常值得购入的游戏 [/h3]这款游戏没有它的名字看上去那么简单,是带有悬疑属性的,[spoiler]后面有非常意想不到的展开 [/spoiler]。而且伏笔埋得特别好,藏在一些日常细节和对话里,需要多周目品鉴。 游戏一共大概20章左右,一轮玩下来(翻译器的话)我是5小时。 主角Cadence应该是乐队行进方队的指挥,是一个很积极向上、有乐队团体意识的人,在后期也是非常勇敢、领导能力相当强的女生。我个人非常喜欢女主Cadence。 可攻略角色有七个(我目前只走了中国人必吃榜的白毛红瞳美少年Poptart),官方推荐的攻略路线是Peter->Doug->Clark->Samuel->Garth->Poptart->Tom. 下面是我对每个可攻略角色初印象 [list] [*]Peter:花花公子多情种 [*]Doug:非常魁梧傻大个(对不起我不吃这一款) [*]Clark:古板严肃眼睛男(挺帅的) [*]Samuel:不苟言笑墨镜哥 [*]Garth:学生会长(级别的)大帅哥(很喜欢) [*]Poptart:乖乖白毛美少年(我对他一见倾心) [*]Tom:青梅竹马搞笑男(对不起开局我就瞪你了) [/list] 每位男嘉宾还是很有意思的,由于我目前只走了Poptart线,接下来我会分享我关于我们小馅饼route的一些感想,涉及剧透。请谨慎阅读。 Poptart的线比表面上看起来要复杂很多,他的家庭背景应该是整个游戏里面最[spoiler] 破碎且悲惨的 [/spoiler]。他的故事线牵扯[spoiler] 寄养家庭的压榨、校园霸凌、家庭暴力、PTSD、药物滥用等等[/spoiler],这也导致了他也很“自然而然”地成为了[spoiler] 地雷男 [/spoiler]。他的HE需要[spoiler]Cadence在鼓励他的同时帮助他建立起良好的人际关系,而不是将他的社交圈子封闭在他们二人之间。[/spoiler]在此处推荐大家去官方的walkthrough对照着来选。不夸张地讲,我觉得他没完全坏掉还有救都属于内心过于强大了。这条线有的真实得过头,比如说[spoiler]寄养家庭不断领养孩子就是为了领保障金[/spoiler],哇我第一次玩到这么直言不讳的剧情。但最后看到他站出来直面恐惧我也是长长呼出一口浊气,Poptart,or I should call you—*严重剧透*[spoiler] Melvin[/spoiler]—我为你骄傲! Poptart线女主正如她在乐队《行星》曲目中的位置一般,如同太阳一样温暖着认为自己不配为行星的天王星Poptart。 最后的最后,[spoiler][h3] Wiley你就是个宇宙无敌asshole!任何执念都不是你伤害一帮高中生的理由,有病去治! [/h3][/spoiler] ----------------------- 我现在玩完了Peter、Clark和Garth线。里面有一个人让我很心碎。 [spoiler]我去Garth是gay,是gay啊!我怎么看不出来……我还特地把完美Garth留到最后来品鉴[/spoiler]
My absolute favorite visual novel by far! Had me tearing up a ton, and it's so worth it to play <3
I spent the last three hours of the game thinking of how exactly to write this review. I normally review books, not games, so forgive me if this focuses more heavily on the narrative than the digital elements. For me, the focus tends to be more on how things make me feel. Band Camp Boyfriend, while it dragged a bit at times, brought me immense joy. I'm not sure how long I spent playing it as my playtime glitched and stopped at 23.9 hours, but I'm willing to bet it was between 70 and 100 hours over the course of five months because I left the speed on auto so I could fully enjoy the game without rushing through it. It would probably be a lot quicker if you just read it at your own pace, but unfortantely there is no way to speed up the automatic text so you would have to click on by hand. Band Camp Boyfriend ultimately felt like a love letter to high school marching band. We do not have marching band where I grew up in Canada, but we do have concert band. I played the clarinet for five years and thoroughly enjoyed it. I sold my clarinet around the time I turned 18 and didn't really regret it until I started playing this visual novel and remembered just how important it was to me as a child/teenager. There's a sort of cohesion that comes with being a part of a band. A sense of purpose. There's nothing else like it that I have found and I miss it immensely. That's how the visual novel made me feel. It brought back that nosalgia, joy, and longing. My favourite routes were Tom, Clark, and Poptart. I don't think I'll ever forget my surprise when I found out the stakes of the novel and died in the arms of a loved one. I cried. I also watched him die in another ending and cried again. I was thoroughly attached and I hadn't even realised it. Getting attached to the characters creeps in slowly, but before you know it, you care more than you ever thought possible. The character development is pretty good. In every ending, you get to know a different guy, and in the true ending, everything comes together. The art was pretty and I liked the CGs in each ending. The UI worked nicely and I have no complaints. Occasionally near the end of the novel, the music would start to stutter, but going into the menu "fixed it". I wish there was cloud save. I switched laptops halfway through and kept using my old one just for this game because I was worried about porting over the save. Achievements would have been lovely too. 99% of the games I play have them, but I didn't see that this game didn't before I bought them. Oh, and the music was fantastic! I don't usually keep sound on while I play games, but it's a must for Band Camp Boyfriend. If you're considering giving Band Camp Boyfriend a chance, I would highly recommend it! The amount of love put into this game is incredible and I definitely feel I got my money's worth. It's a gem among indie visual novels. Don't worry if you're not familiar with band. The game defines everything along the way.
This one time at band camp...
Yummy plot twists :3
yay
This game is incredible!!! 10/10 story!!!! The only thing that could make it ten times better for me, personally, is if Aaron had a route... but only if the devs feel like it, obviously!!
Most amazing game I think I've ever played. Such a beautiful story line, great art, voicing was beautiful, and so much more. The walk through they have made for the good endings was so helpful, all you have to do is search "Band Camp Boyfriend walk through" and it should bring up the official website, and you just click on it and go from there. This game brought me to tears, I've been playing since it first game out. I totally recommend for all the band lovers. The creators did an amazing job, if only there was going to be more. But I'm so excited for future games!
As a former high school band member, this game makes me feel so nostalgic. Everything seems pretty accurate, and being the "drum major" is pretty silly. I've only played a few routes so far (Clark, Tom, Samuel), but I am in love with it. The soundtrack is SPECTACULAR, plus shout out to Op. 167. I love how much humor is in this game (love the fourth wall breaks), and I definitely get very immersed in it. The art is beautiful, the characters are very fleshed out (lots of character development), and the endings are... endless. Wish I could play Clark's good story line over and over again, it's so fun. (need him)
I love band in general. So this game was something I wanted to buy and play for quite some time. The story of this game is amazing. I can't believe how the plot roles out
