Enshrined: Sword of Fates

loved this game!!!!! while i will admit, there were times that these men had me staring daggers at them, this was so fun to see. the characters were beautiful, i loved their designs and the voice actors did such an amazing job, they fit so perfectly with their characters! plus the music was perfect for the atmosphere.

What a gorgeous game. Beautiful art - character, CG, and background art alike - and very visually pleasing UI. The story does an excellent job in building up suspense, both right at the opening scene as well as the suspense leading up to sexyfuntimes. I had no idea who I was going to end up choosing when I started playing because appearance is secondary to me when it comes to attraction, so it was a lot of fun getting to know each of the characters and making my mind up that way. I absolutely fell for Jun which I didn’t expect because I don’t usually go for the graceful long-haired boys. I suspect some of it was down to the fantastic voice acting (I mean, all the VAs absolutely knocked it out the park; as expected from such an impressive cast) but also the way he was written - intriguing and uniquely characterised. Also lil bit judgy which is v hot. I laughed out loud at the jokes, especially Niko’s deliveries and how he clashes with the other two (his ‘rolling his eyes’ sprite is so perfect). I SNORTED at the “how about I insert it directly...” in Jun's route. But I did resist the urge to choose that option as I'm not sure it would've ended well for me. The dialogue choices had exactly the right amount of nuance - not too obvious, and I had to think about what each of the characters wanted to hear, which helped me tailor my responses to the other two as well as Jun's to help steer me onto my desired pathway. With that said, I still ended up getting Jun's bad ending. I appreciated the chance to get hints at the end (especially having it be optional what level of hints you get given), though I did then get his bad ending again on my next playthrough (a skill issue I fear), so unlocking his good ending was much harder than I thought. It makes sense for this to be the case given it's not a super long game - thoughtful replays are clearly encouraged to unlock the ending, rather than it just being a cakewalk on your first playthrough. Also I'm assuming Jun was always going to be the harder route as he's such an enigma. It makes Jun all the more intriguing, and I can't wait to try for his good route again, as well as pursuing Niko and Dyma.

It's another one of those games where if I could give it a middle-of-the-road rating I would. I like the artstyle and I like the characters but it does a really big mistake: It dissuades you from having a character of your own. To get the good ending, you need to yes-man whoever you're trying to woo which feels very counter intuitive (even with the biggest hint I could not get a good ending without someone else's guide). That and it also has the options that say exactly the opposite of what you were trying to say (I don't like picking "I want you to lead" and then have my character say "but I will be in control". That's not what I would expect that option to say at all). In general the good endings are really hard to get due to how many options there are and the inability to know where/how many times you screwed up. The ending doesn't change based on stuff you picked so it's not really helpful. If you only picked *one* reply wrong very early on, trial and error will just drive you insane. I even started seriously thinking that I was just so bad I couldn't figure out a fictional character (funny with the theme of failure the story has).

Loved everything: the art, the writing, the characters. Thank you Souha for the food <3

rocked w this heavyyy. normally don't like voiced games but the voice actors hit it out the park. i liked how it ended despite how short it was, though i wouldn't be opposed to learning more about the characters ^.^

I’ve played through all 3 routes so far and am currently in the process of getting all of the endings (I believe there’s a good + bad end for each of the LIs, so far I have all of the good endings). I personally really enjoyed this game and highly recommend it if the summary sounds interesting and if you’re looking for a spicier VN. If you’re unsure about if it’s for you, definitely try the demo (it has the entire common route and I think is a really solid representation of the game as a whole). The routes are definitely on the shorter side so be aware of that. Personally I find that for the price, the length is totally fine for me (and I absolutely can see myself replaying multiple times). While it doesn’t have a huge impact that I’m aware of, the additional stories/callouts that get added based on the background you choose for the player character was super neat (and I’m really glad the game gave you an option to be something other than human, though the human background was nice too!). I definitely recommend trying at least one play through with each of the three backgrounds. Overall, I really enjoyed! It’s definitely worth trying out if the premise sounds interesting and I also was pleasantly surprised with how much I really enjoyed all 3 of the LI routes (so much so I don’t think I have a number one favorite, all of them were great and really suited the routes they had). Honestly if anything the game definitely had me craving more (which I absolutely prefer to a game that overstays its welcome) so if there is ever additional DLC or a sequel I’d definitely be interested!

What a wonderful game! Beautiful art, unique expressions, an absolute laugh riot that has the potential to make you blush and feel the warm and fuzzies...with the worst man of your dreams who you can, like, TOTALLY fix. Probably. That's at least what I tell myself as a Niko lover. The intimacy is fun and varied, the voice acting is incredible and the delivery of each character really brings them to life in a wonderful way. Some of Niko's lines had me biting my fist in an attempt to stop myself from becoming a feral beast. There's some special attention paid to your specific background which I really enjoyed. Loved the touches of the various effects and the designs of title screen/text box. It's polished beautifully! Truly had a blast playing this game and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun banter and sexy, awful men!

if you're looking for a game where you can *be intimate* with wildly morally grey and very attractive men, this game should be your go-to. The voice acting is perfection, the dialogue is perfection and the story (though brief) is kind of an emotional rollercoaster (a very funny rollercoaster sometimes). The art/cg's are incredible as well, just an all around well done and worthwhile game. 100/10, solidly executed, many kudos to the devs. * The song in the end credits, Luna by RINN, will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life probably. It's the best kind of earworm and I'll gladly obsess over it until my bones turn to dust (also, please look it up on Spotify/Apple Music/Amazon Music/YouTube and play it over and over again, because it deserves so much love.

Came for three hot dudes, stayed for the very entertaining dialogue, perfect voice acting deliveries and solid worldbuilding. 100%'ing wasn't too daunting, especially since it led me to experience a lot of the game's excellent writing. The save/load system is helpful, but I especially appreciated being able to jump back via the log whenever I wanted to quickly try different dialogue options. And the hint system feels ideal to properly figure out each character without giving too much away if you'd rather save the surprise! All in all, a very lovely game that I'm happy to have played.

Bought this on sale, and it was such a fun experience! Did take some trial and error for Jun's good ending, but the other 2 LI were fairly straightforward with discerning good from bad. Lots of choices, fun dialogue choices, and excellent voice acting! Highly recommend this on sale, and I would have been content if I had bought it at full price.
