Mars Vice

Overall a good experience. Frontloading the biggest issue here is the plot. Spoiler free review is, the plot is really great up until this one point. Before I arrived at the location that ties up loose ends I was all over with theories and I'd have loved if that part of the game lasted a bit longer. The ending feels a bit rushed as well. Other things of note - The cast is full of fun characters - I love the way varied identities are integrated in a way that feels natural - The animated segments are nice and well done, though I do wish there was a bit more payoff and a better tie in for them - I'd enjoy seeing more of this world and story. I think its well crafted and there's many more stories to be told here should the devs wish to revisit this setting in the future

If you like a tight story with some fun characters and wild scifi lore then I think you’ll really enjoy this. There no Ace Attorney style puzzles to solve here, but the presentation goes a long way to making this feel a lot more involved than most visual novels thanks to the snazzy presentation. The art style mixes furry 2D characters with 3D environments and it all comes together to look really slick. You explore areas, chat to people and make linear progress through the story. It’s short, but it’s strong. I also really appreciated the queer rep in this game – I don’t get to play as a transmasc lion in enough games! I think the best thing about this game is the way the lore is sprinkled throughout. It’s effectively a buddy cop story (although you’re actually more like Mars anti-corruption investigators) and in along with pursuing the case, you’ll also learn about what life is like on Mars – and there’s some wicked high concept ideas here. Not to spoil anything, but let’s just say the furry characters are more than just a fun aesthetic… Ok ich kann meine ganze Rezension nicht überseten, aber ich werde die wichstigen Details betonen. Mars Vice bietet eine coole Geschichte, tolle Figuren und eine krasse Scifi-Welt an. Im vergleich zum anderen Visual Novels wie Ace Attorney, gibts hier keine Rätsel – doch die Presentation ist echt schick. Man erkundet 3D Levels und fürht Gespräche mit die verschiedene Einwohner:innen des roten Planets. Die Erlebnis ist zwar kurz und linear, doch die Gesichte ist stark and empfehlenswert. Ich werde nichts spoilern – aber die 2D Furry-Figuren sind nicht nur für die Asthetik da, sondern ein wichtiges Teil der Geschichte. Mehr werde ich nicht verraten – viel Spaß!
