Cardinal Cross

Clever and unique with beautiful, artistic CGs. Always a joy to go back and play.

3.5/5，赛博朋克与星际废土，感觉设定是银翼杀手与西部世界s3的叠加。我一向很喜欢scifi题材但这部一般般，严格来说剧本和世界观写得还是不错的，缺点在叙事方式上。节奏有点拖拖拉拉，频繁切换视角导致故事碎片化，降低代入感，此外我觉得本作完全没有心理活动与动作描写也影响了叙事的连贯性与流畅性。 打了[spoiler]revolutionary[/spoiler]结局，没看攻略但所有人都活下来了，还是比较he的。大女主lana非常迷人，男女通吃，又洒脱又自由，充满力量感，但cg里她有的时候是棕发有的时候是红发。男角色负责卖肉，好看爱看。 总体来说恋爱剧情其实蛮少的。三个RO里我只get到egon/soren，一开始觉得他是自私狡诈邪恶低马尾，但后面真的越打越有意思，他特别有小三感，主角对他属于是若即若离的friends with benefits态度，而他belike半机器人凡心大动。egon时不时透露出一股偏执癫狂的风味，按住女主那段看得我太爽了我直接胡言乱语，非常有性张力一男的；而他[spoiler]哭着求女主“you make me want to live and it scares me.”“don’t make me hope. It hurts so much when I do. ”[/spoiler]的时候我又要大喊纯正狗味了，就爱这种恋恋不舍恨海情天亡命鸳鸯bonnie and clyde。此外我同时泡了兄妹俩这真的好吗（） 虽然立绘总是出现不怎么好看的表情，但奈何cg实在漂亮。调字体大小的地方位置太离奇了，怎么会放在对话框左下角啊打了半天眼睛都要瞎了才发现可以调字体。ui设计得不太好。之前在itchio上看到过同作者的oathbreaker系列，但因为角色设定方面太像da的同人作于是一直没打。

Absolutely amazing! I never knew how many possible endings there were to this game. On my first playthrough I somehow managed to get the worst ending, so trying to get the other endings is so entertaining.

I went in with eyes open, unsure of what it contained. The write up made it seem "out there". So far it aint bad,, they male's have tried to hit on me but I put them down. I feel, being near half way through, the female one will come along soon. I do like my character as she can dish it out when she needs to and ♥♥♥♥♥ on those who deserve it. I do recommend it so far..

An excellent sci-fi visual novel with plenty of endings and an intriguing storyline with choices set up like Dragon Age 2 "tones". One of the best I have ever played, considering romance wasn't its main focus. The endings are fairly open, in terms of a possible sequel as well. Yes, it could have benefited from a few more choices/player agency, as well as a renameable player character however. Hopefully the dev takes this to heart in their future endeavours.

I don't typically play visual novel games. Not that there is anything wrong with them, mind you...I just rarely find myself drawn to them. Cardinal Cross's pacing really helped pull me in. By combining small scenes with larger chapters, I was able to pick it up and put it down easily. The dialogue is well done...sometimes passionate, sometimes funny. The music adds a bit to the scenes, but is nothing spectacular or noteworthy. The art is great though, with many characters. It is clear they have turned on the sex appeal for the main characters, but I found everything was tactfully done. It can get steamy at times, but not anything worse than you'd see on TV (and not nearly as far as some shows and movies go). There are enough choices and endings to give the game another shot, and it seems like the game tracks which paths you take to make exploring new paths easier. All in all, I enjoyed my time with Cardinal Cross.

It's nothing exceptional, but the writing is strong. It does tend to wax poetic and jump around more than I'd like, but it's good English and the author did put some thought into developing their world and its characters. If you're going into this with an eye on the romance aspect, don't expect much. It's T rated, or even G. We get a smooch, or, at least, that's all I could find on the yuri path. It's got some cute, old-married-couple dialogue, but any sort of deep delve into their romantic life is not there. Visually, it's not very exciting, but it gets the job done. It's the standard two models on the screen bouncing highlights back and forth the whole way through. The art is pretty good to look at and at least it's consistent, so I can't complain too much. The strong point of the game is the dialogue choice system. There's quite a bit of RP value to be had which, I imagine, could lend itself to replay value if you care to re-experience the story with a different alignment. All told, this was a story I don't regret reading, but I think I'm perfectly happy with a single playthrough. Visuals: 7/10 Sound: 3/10 Writing: 8/10 Lewds: 3/10

Love this game. Really REALLY LOVE THIS GAME. beautiful art, funny interactions btw character. At first, I felt a bit overwhelmed by all new info/lore/politic/etc it threw in my face(especially when you are the type of person...you know, who has to root everything, go to every possible corner to clear the entire surface of the map, read all the codex, ...etc) BUT, its engaging enough to keep you on board....and then you will find yourself in the middle of Raider territory with the crew in no time. Every important scene has a CG, and its not necessarily romantic scene CG. Which I feel is rare in otome games nowadays. and I super appreciate it! This really helps you immerse in the story. Aaand it has beautiful art. did I mention that already?

Interesting story, good replayabilty, nice cgs, some mild romance moments {don't recommend playing just for romance or you will be disappointed}. Played 13hrs and completed all achievements - so it's not a long VN but was enjoyable and I liked the MC. It was clear thought had gone into creating her personality! Would have loved for this to be longer and have more developed relationships between the characters but for it's length - it was a fun journey. Some great humorous moments - the outfits were great!

good game~ i'm watching The expanse series now so there r quite a lot of similar themes to it recommend buying the game
