Demonheart

By no means a terrible game but I wouldn’t recommend it. Things I liked… - The story started out well and initially I was keen to keep playing to see how things developed. - The writing was ok and I didn’t really spot any typos or bits that didn’t make sense like in some other games of this type. - A couple of scenes were quite tense and scary. - Some of the artwork was quite nice. - Lots of dialogue options. - There was some voice acting and some of it was ok. Things I didn’t like... - Almost all of the characters you interact with are extremely mean and unpleasant. Didn’t really want to get romantically involved with any of them. - The plot got super convoluted and in the end I didn’t care and lost interest. - The voice acting is mostly pretty poor. - Anagram solving puzzles got quite tedious and didn’t really add anything. - I replayed a few parts to see if selecting dialogue options had an impact and very few of them did. Overall… - Not my cup of tea. Fans of dark romance who like the idea of getting romantically involved with unpleasant people might enjoy this a little bit more but, overall, there is a lot of room for improvement.

I played through the NWN module first. While catching myself on occasion, it reminds me of otome games. And I was so excited when someone told me that the creator of the module made a full otome game instead. So I bought it without a second thought, given that the module wasn't finished in the first place! I was thinking I'd receive a full experience with closed plot lines and all. Yet it wasn't the case... The game has become... How can I put it? Different. Less dark and disturbing. Some characters disappeared, while the others received more show time. The Great Ravage lost significance to the plot, as did Thayn. Brash was a little bit changed. (Don't ask.) I'm not disappointed! The module itself was very NSFW in nature. So I can understand the changes. It's still a great game despite differences with the module. All that made it exceptional is still here. New twists really caught me off guard. And the anagrams? Sure, probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I sure as hell had such a blast solving them! Hopping from one language to another to find some hints when I was desperate enough. (Cheating, I know.) Plus, I think the main cast had really decent voice acting. Especially Raze. Yeah. That's pretty much it. [u]Alright, alright! Here's Sir Brash!

Портал в Преисподнюю открыть символами. Символы я дам. Сердце надо вернуть Брайт. Сердце я не дам 💔🔒 * * * На самом деле эта новелла из той категории, где твоя героиня избранная, потому что потому и никак иначе. Фразы злой или дерзкой Брайт больше показывают её токсичной хабалкой. Всё равно её все любят, поддерживают, помогают. Даже если слово "хуесосы" звучит из рта каждый раз вместо выдоха воздуха. С учётом, что игра 2017 года, то не стоит от неё ожидать чего-то особенного. Можно было бы расширить конкретно эту историю, добавить деталей и ситуаций. Переписать диалоги и поработать над адекватными чувствами других персонажей к героине. А так за 140 рублёв можно взять ради интереса, за её полную стоимость — нет смысла.

[b]TL;DR: This visual novel is not for the tender-hearted and definitely not for children. If you're in a rough place emotionally, you'll probably want to pass it by. But if you love dark fantasy, you might enjoy it. Me? I love it. [/b] [h2]What I Love[/h2] I squeezed every bit of story I could get out of Demonheart in 5 full playthroughs. Just about all of the characters grew on me. I enjoyed the art and its storybook qualities and the music, which fit the story well. Some characters and selected lines are voiced, and it makes a good difference. There are a few awkward moments early on, but by the end, it's hard to imagine the story without them. A great thing about this visual novel is that you can build a personality for the main character through her responses. Want to play a snarky bad girl or the sweet cinnamon roll? You can! But you might become spoiled for choice and wish other VNs offered half as many responses for you to pick from. The overall story is linear, but many choices lead to more information about the characters and the setting. This is where this visual novel really shines. It felt like this visual novel really opened up for me the more I played, and I loved that experience. [h2]Caveat Emptor[/h2] Demonheart includes blood, gore (in one scene), murder, and physical violence in both text and art. Character attitudes include misogyny and homophobia. Depending on player choices, Bright can be callous and cruel. These options are usually presented in straightforward language, and are rarely the only ones available. Some choices toward the end don't have lighter-hearted options, however. Sexual content includes advances and limited physical contact. If the player dislikes the characters, their advances will likely be unwelcome and commentary will probably be more disturbing. Rape is mentioned in stories and some threats, but isn't acted out or graphically shown. Unwanted advances can always be resisted via text choices and will stop shortly thereafter, but not always immediately. You don't have to romance anyone but the love interests will still flirt and obsess a bit over Bright, regardless. All of the characters in Demonheart are problematic and may seem irredeemable, including all three of the potential love interests. You can come to understand why they are the way they are, and they all have better qualities than you might think at first, but nothing will excuse the worst things they do. This is a feature of the dark fantasy experience Demonheart is. If any of this repulses you, it's best to try something else. If it intrigues you, chances are you'll like this visual novel.

I love dark fantasy and trashy men.

Простите, конечно, но это было плохо. Слабая мотивация персонажей, нелогичный сюжет. Отвратительные фавориты (не внешне, а внутренне) с минимальным раскрытием их отношений и какой-то элементарной романтикой. Почему он влюбился в нее? Да прост))00 Почему она влюбилась в него? Хз((9 Диалоги,конечно, смешные со множеством матов и треша. Но в отомэ игре совершенно неуместны. Концовки тоже странные. Ты или зло или тупое зло. Такая шикарная идея и атмосфера тёмного фэнтези и такая скудная реализация. Очень обидно. 2/10

Even after just playing the first two chapters, this game has made such an impact on me that I instantly bought the rest of Rolling Crown's entire library, and I never do that (I usually wait around and play one title until another sale or month comes along). At the current sale prices (this one being $1.99 for me) I feel like I'm stealing from the developers. If you're a fan of the dark, the macabre, the twists and turns and settings that make you question who you can trust, or whether you can even trust yourself... you'll love this game as much as I do. And that's to say nothing of the obvious other draw in the romance department and mature themes therein, which I can't wait to reach. I cannot recommend this visual novel enough, and I cannot thank the developers enough for creating this. I hope they keep creating masterpieces for a long time to come, because the genre is sorely lacking in well written, English voice acted (even if only partially here, it's more than enough), gorgeously illustrated romance visual novels with real stories (IE not high school drama), real depth, and a real sense of impact from the choices you make along the way.
