East Tower - Kurenai (East Tower Series Vol. 4)

It's a great finale to the series. Extremely satisfying. Has mini games too which are fun and have easier difficulties for people who are interested in the story primarily. It was really good. It's also longer which is great. The story is really unique and interesting - otome games don't usually have such a strong story. I loved it. I haven't even finished all the endings or paths but I'm excited to finish it. Great game! All of roseverte games are the best!

So... This is the last edition of the East Tower saga. There are a lot of endings. One bad, one neutral, two harems, two male, two female. Half of the pairs are aggressive, the other passive. [spoiler]You will also (based on an animal pick) find out how the relationships from the other game panned out.[/spoiler] It is the most extensive of the games, provides a lot of info missing from the others, and... well, wraps up on a sort-of good note... Also, my suggestion would be to buy the East Tower Complete Edition. Especially as the last volume is almost three quarters of the price of the bundle...

I just could not get into this story. It is unique and a different concept, but it was just a drag to read. Perhaps if there were more lead in thorugh the other parts I could have gotten more interested.

Okay, let's be realistic here. Is ET-Kurenai the BEST Otome vn I have EVER played? No, it is not. Would I still recommend others play it? Yes, 100%. Pros: +Multi-play Justification: I LOVE it when a VN gives you an in-game reason why the protagonist lives through the adventure repeatedly. I feel like it wraps the game up in a nice bow, and grants a feeling of completion to a story that has more complexity and depth. Knowing that the protagonist DID pick all of the possible male counterparts is meta, and gives the stories more of an arch feel, threading all of them into one adventure instead of 4 stand-alones. +Story: Is good. Not great, but fun enough that my giggling made my husband sigh at me a time or two. Or three. +Voice Acting: I don't speak Japanese, but I can understand the emote. +Enjoyable characters: These are not simple stereotypes, they are at least passably faceted., and Kurenai himself is both well-written and complicated. +Twist: This retelling of East Tower has a pretzel in the middle I did not see coming, and that I found to be very enjoyable. +Aggressive/Passive Points: This is a new feature added in Kurenai, granting the player a new level of agency. To simplify: choices now have a stat gain in either Passive or aggressive meter, and those meters determine dialoged, CGs, and endings that you will see. It's not a HUGE deal, but it is a nice addition I don't think I have seen before. Cons: -Art: The watercolor art has gotten better in each play through, but it is still B quality. I am, however, looking forward to more from this artist, as I can see clear growth, and I expect them to get better and better! -Sound effects: The effects are VERY limited beyond the voice acting, and the 7,000th time you hear the raspy "touching" sound effect your ears will bleed a little. Overall: I recommend buying the whole East Tower set, when it goes on sale. They are short (some of them VERY short) sweet stories that I had a lot of fun playing through. If VN novels were candy then this set is the plain chocolate Hersey Bar of the lot; nothing super-amazing-life-changing, but still totally worth the time.

Easily the best of the series (though that's not much of a compliment). It's actually quite decent. Kurenai and [spoiler]Hisui[/spoiler] are both cool characters, and the plot is rounded up very neatly. That said, there's not much point in playing this before the first three volumes and I can't bring myself to recommend playing the first three volumes.

The 4th and last out of 4 East Tower games Target: Female audience mostly Type: Otome (female heroine, boy love interests) Playtime: 4hrs (complete with all routes, including skipping already read) Price: ~soso Origin: Smartphonegame This is the only East Tower game that actually has a worthy to read plot.. the first 3 entries were basically a too long introduction of this game. The story is very well designed and has a lot of surprises in itself. While many things were obvious, a lot were quite surprising aswell. This was the only one out of the 4 i actually realy enjoyed reading for its story and not for the sake of reducing my backlog of steamgames/novels and wanting to see a whole overview of the gameseries 8/10 recommended on high off sale and mostly for girls Suitable for children as there is no nudity or similar

Actually, before getting this I always thought it looked like trash. Weird fantasy VN dating sim trash. But guess what? I ended up being so addicted during the first part I played them all in a row. Yes, the beginning parts repeat and it seems as if the story was always the same only with a different guy. But the picture's getting bigger with every part and it's funny and lovely at the same time. Part of what stopped me from playing these earlier was also the drawing style. Mainly the eyes looked weird and creepy BUT it's a positive surprise in how story makes up for it compared to higher priced VN with excellent style which sadly only bore me to hell. (Cause if I wanted THAT I can read a book/manga or watch anime.) This series is kinda like a baby of the Cube movies and the Forbidden Game books by Lisa J. Smith. Highly enjoyable!

The fourth one of the East Tower series is honestly the best of the lot, but only if you played the ones before it. The twist in this one is better than the one for Kuon. Kurenai is also the most interesting guy of the series as well, although by the end of it, I wanted to know how it would've ended up with the other guy that you interact with later. I do indeed like the person you can become at the end and I also like the fact that it changes depending on your choices throughout the game. Really, the variety of endings you can get compared to the other three games is great. Which isn't much of a comparison since the other three games really only had two endings. But the ending number here is numerous. The eighteen dollar price tag for this one is a tad sketchy since the game isn't complete by itself. If it had included the other games of this series, then yes, it isn't a bad price. Do I recommend this? Yes! But try and get it as part of some deal or you would have a hard time feeling like it was worth it.
