Princess Evangile All Ages Version

So... Here is a serious review for a change. First of i wanted to say that now i have only done Rise's route and it was amazing. (Will update once i've done more) (Have finished it but I'm to lazy to update, If you got any questions feel free to add me and ask or just comment below) So where to begin... Well this game is a Visual Novel that has humor, drama, love, and some serious stuff aswell. The jokes in this game are fantastic they made me laugh out loud and brightend my mood from the serious matters. Beatiful art AND soundtrack. This game also has voice acting, and not just some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ voice acting. It is really good. It took me 18 hours to complete Rise's route and that is good time for a route imo (i consider myself a fast reader so it might take longer.) I dont really know what more i should say it's really good, in 2days i played it for 18hours (amazing? nah i should just get a life.) The length of this game is quite impressive as stated before and that to me alongside everything it is worth the price, dont let the price tag scare you. The only negative thing i can think of is there aren't many choices but they aren't really needed just feels kinda weird is all Aand if you are 18+ and want a copy of the 18+ version you can buy it from here (you also get a steam key for the game) http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=1&product_code=117 (NSFW, NUDITY ON THIS PAGE)

Glad to see many VN coming to the west. And I'm even more glad to have bought Princcess Evangile on Mangagamer, since I don't like nor want to support Steams moral police actions. Nutity and sexual content is not worse then violence and gore. You shouldn't believe otherwise.

Princess Evangile is a romantic-comedy-drama story. It’s based around the protagonist, Masaya, being accepted into a school of all girls, as a test for possible gender integration. It made it fun to read and enjoyable from start to finish. [h1]The story[/h1] The story itself, including individual routes as well as the common, was well written. It flowed nicely, It's a pretty lengthy story, and it felt worth the price. [h1]Audio and Visual elements[/h1] The audio and visual elements were great, It sets the mood and feel like it belongs in the situation and the environment, especially the heroine themes. The backgrounds and CGs were beautiful and detailed. There full Japanease audio for all of the girls, and side characters combined with a well fitting soundtrack. The game also tends to use alot of French words for naming stuff, but there is the option to click on them and get a detailed explanation for the meaning. [h1]Routes and Pathing[/h1] As for the routes/heroines, they all felt different from each other. They all had their individual quirks that made them stand out and likeable. Their routes all had happy moments and depressing moments. It’s hard not to get invested in a character emotionally when they have so much detail put into them. [h1]To sum up[/h1] Princess Evangile is well worth the money. The characters are likable to keep you interested in the game and wanting to finish their routes, the story is silly to grab people's attention fast, and the H-Scenes are well tied to the story and didn't feel out of place.

I recommend picking up the 18+ version directly from MangaGamer, as I do feel the lewd content adds to the experience and there is (as of writing) no restoration patch. I'm not sure that's even doable, as [b]the All-Ages version actually has a handful of its own unique CGs that aren't in the 18+ version![/b] But if you're squeamish about sexual content, a minor, or really must save those precious few dollars, I fell in love with PE seeing the All-Ages version streamed and can attest that [b]the AA version is plenty intact enough to remain a thoroughly enjoyable read.[/b] [i]What is censored specifically: There are minor dialogue edits here and there, mostly to sanitize direct references to genitalia (e.g. Masaya, the male protagonist, getting an erection). A few CGs are edited to cover up the girls a little more here and there (e.g. wearing undershirts instead of bras). Of course, the actual sex scenes are removed. The only major loss is, what I find to be the funniest skit in the game... what is best described as a dramatic reading of an erotic novel, which isn't even lewd so much as the kind of raunchy comedy you might find in an R-rated film.[/i] Quite frankly, the "all ages" moniker is a misnomer as Princess Evangile AA is still way too mature for a younger audience. Some of the unique CGs are still quite lewd (e.g. showering with convenient steam placement), just less explicit than what they replace. Suggestive dialogue still exists in spades. PE also deals with some heavy themes, such as sexual assault and kidnapping. It's more suited for the 15+ crowd, even in its mildly censored form. PE is a surprisingly compelling story for how cliche its basic premise is: guy gets to attend an all-girls school. But it takes itself very seriously and rather succeeds at selling the circumstances that lead to the situation happening. PE really lives and dies on its characters though, all of which I found more or less enjoyable. Each heroine has their unique charms and, of course, they're all drop dead gorgeous. Masaya himself is more than a boring blank slate designed solely for self-insertion and the antagonists are so, so hateable. The gang as a whole display incredible chemistry that really helps sell some of the common route's comedy skits. There's much heavier drama deep into the character routes that usually leads to some stellar character development, and each route uncovers slightly different details of the PE world that makes all of them worth reading to get the full picture. Aside that, each romance develops very naturally and believable, ultimately culminating in true love conquering all and receiving some warm and fuzzy feelings to fill the gaping hole in my cold, black heart. :( PE isn't perfect, your mileage may very quite heavily depending on how much you buy the various contrivances. I've a couple minor criticisms but overall it passes muster for me quite easily. If PE interests you in the first place though, [b]the Demo will tell you more than any review whether or not it's worth dropping your cash on the full version.[/b] But I do recommend the 18+ version if you're fine with sexual content. Romance is the biggest component of PE and, well, [i]that[/i] is just a totally natural and beautiful thing people in love do. Especially the first time a couple takes that step is arguably the biggest milestone of most romantic relationships (its only competition being, perhaps, marriage). Watching it unfold as the characters themselves do makes the experience all the more fulfilling. Admittedly, some scenes are "just porn" but those truly are outnumbered by the ones that legitimately develop the characters.

This is going to be difficult... Princess Evangile is the sort of game that comes around every once in a while that puts me in a really uncomfortable position. What started as something I had strong expectations for ended up being bitterly disappointing. The strong opening chapters gave way to a mediocre and often irritating first half that was not wholly redeemed by the much better character-specific stories in the second half. The end result being that I come out of this game feeling uncertain about what to do now that it is time to review it. My first experience with the game was playing the demo, which covers a few of the early chapters of the story. First impressions were good. The protagonist, Masaya, had a rather nasty start where he was screwed over by his own father in a particularly despicable way. It put in me a hope that, perhaps, he would be a developed character of his own along the lines of, say, Tomoya from Clannad, Okabe from Steins;Gate, or Yuuji from Grisaia. His unpleasant backstory was more than enough cause to produce a jaded character who, while wanting to do the right thing, would still have an eye out for suspicious activity or behavior. In other words, I had a hope that Masaya would be, in contrast to quite a lot of VN protagonists, interesting and savvy enough to see when people were trying to mess up his life rather than just being a victim to other people's actions. Instead, I ended up seeing a faceless stupid perverted doormat character that manages to be worse than most VN protagonists I have come across. I can understand that some people might not be the sharpest tools in the shed, but Masaya's repeated walking into situations where all the signs point to "this is a bad idea" is almost impressive in its stupidity. I had hoped that the first chapter of the game would be a life-changing event for him (as it would for basically anyone else), but the rest of the game just makes it clear that Masaya is, has, and will always be a sucker falling into other people's traps. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement: it did very serious harm to my opinion of the game as a whole. It's a case of when you end up getting high expectations from a first impression, the fall when reality ends up failing those expectations is all the harder. Another character I have no choice but to bring up is Misako, the headmistress of the school. I've come across quite a few despicable, spiteful, and irredeemable characters before, but even I was a bit thrown by how foul she ended up being. The trouble is that she is at the center of virtually all of the drama in the story, which means she gets quite a lot of screentime. None of it, not even the bits you get about why she is the way she is, makes anything she does acceptable. The standout moment for me came in one of the character storylines where she not only is deeply unpleasant, she breaks the law to advance her warped agenda. I'm not talking about a "Oh, the police may scold you or lock you up for a night" kind of crime, but one that in the US would get you at least 20 years in prison. And while I (sort of) understand why charges were not pressed in that situation (collateral damage), it sealed the deal for me that Misako was completely irrational, unsympathetic, and worst of all faced no real consequences for her actions. As with Masaya, her presence in the story actively hurt Princess Evangile. Ok... so I despise two of this game's major characters. What about the rest? Well, while there was quite a few stereotypical VN/anime moments/tropes throughout the story, things actually got more interesting once the character-focused storylines came into play. This probably reflects badly upon me, but the moment when I really started thinking "Maybe I won't throw this game into a fire after all" was when someone got stabbed. Woohoo violence. But in all seriousness, even if Masaya's role in the story is pretty much entirely stereotypical and stupid, the female leads such as Rise, Chiho, Ritsuko, and Ayaka had more than a few good moments. I'm not sure which would be my favorite storyline, but Ayaka is the clear winner when it comes to this game's characters. But really all four of them are alright, and the various side characters are ok even if they mostly are just in the background and don't do much. Not in the same league as Clannad or Grisaia, but they are acceptable. And now the hard part... Can I recommend this game? The game is split into 26 "chapters", with 16 onwards, depending upon your choices, being the character focused storylines. Most of those first 15 chapters were draining to get through, especially when the obnoxious headmistress got involved. But, as already stated, the character storylines are noticeably better and improved my overall opinion of the game. If I was judging this game on the first 15 chapters, I would throw this game in a dumpster and light it on fire. But because of the character storylines, which in practice ended up being more than half of the game's overall playtime since there are four character routes, I can't do that as easily. So I find myself at the end of this review, after 30 hours of playtime and close to 2 months attempting to chew through this game, conflicted. Ultimately, it is a question of if a friend decided to ask me whether or not this game was worth playing, what would I tell them? That the first half of the game isn't very good, the protagonist and main villain grate on the nerves, but that it ends up getting better in the second half? Sadly, the improvement in quality in the character storylines is not enough to make me want to tell my friends "get Princess Evangile and play it ASAP." It makes me want to tell them "Perhaps, but there are much better VN's out there that you can play instead." So I guess that's a "no". A "no" for a game with a 95% approval rating on Steam is certainly going to get this review flamed. That's how internet people are after all: ragey people with hair-trigger tempers that will attack anything that remotely bugs them, regardless of the strength of the arguments presented. But I can't give a game a "yes" just because I don't like having my reviews downvoted. I'm going to have to bite the bullet on this one. Princess Evangile is, in short, a middling VN that starts promising, rapidly squanders that, but ends up being fairly good once you get into the second half. But while this game is not "bad", the fact remains there are far too many other VN's I would recommend before this one. But most of all, I'm just disappointed. :(

The question you're probably asking is whether this game is worth $35. The answer to that is subjective of course, but I generally say that a game is worth it if I get 1 hour per dollar. I know that's a bit of a cop out answer, so here's my actual review Is the game good? Yes Is the game great? Debatable, visual novels are somewhat different from most games in that the order you do the routes in them actually does have a significant impact on your experience. I did Ayaka's route first which made the other routes suck by comparison. The game has a good sense of humour, and made me really laugh, like laughing hard enough for my head to touch my desk funny. That humour is one of the selling points. This is a feel-good VN, there are some darker parts to it, but for the most part it's supposed to make you smile. That is an issue in some respects though, the game was enjoyable and entertaining. It was not however terribly touching (except one part of Ayaka's route brought tears to my eyes... her route is the best by far). Of the four romances: One was cheesy (Ritsuko's was too ridiculous to ever take seriously) One was pure vanilla extract (Rise's route... of course hers was also the funniest because they openly made fun of how over-the top vanilla it was. The drama felt a little forced though, and the romance overall felt unrealistic.) One was good (Chiho's route was fairly standard, but had an actually realistic romance progression, [ it took two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ months after declaring undying love for eachother in Rise and Ritsuko's routes for the first kiss] and was fairly exciting) One was very good (Ayaka's route had stellar character development, she seems like an interesting character and winds up being interesting in ways completely different from your expectations. All development is explained logically and I felt this was the most realistic route due to the interal conflict and difficulty they had expressing their feelings... I mean come on, it's not easy to ask someone out, let alone confess your love to them before the first date). Do I regret buying it, since 2 routes weren't my cup of tea? No. Rise's wasn't bad per-se, it just wasn't to my taste, some people will like it, and some people even liked Ritsuko's route, in this kind of game, there will always be some contention when ranking routes and saying what was subjectively better. The forums do seem to agree that Ayaka's route is the best though, and it is. Ritsuko's route was kinda like Mega Pirhana, one of those cheap ass Sci-Fi channel movies that are just hilariously bad. I couldn't really tell if the dev's were taking it seriously or not, but I wound up laughing during the climax (of the plot... the game is censored, but they did a really good job of it so I'm not complaining) which makes it a failure in my book. The fact of the matter is that I got my money's worth, and would buy the fandisc if it came to Steam (assuming it was at or under $15) As I mentioned before, order matters, I would reccomend Chiho's route first, then Rise/Ritsuko and end with Ayaka for maximal enjoyment. Overall I'd give it a 7.5 / 10 Worth playing, but not the best thing since sliced bread.

8/10. Recommended. Princess Evangile is primarily a dating simulator, this can be quite boring if it's not what you're looking for. In terms of a visual novel the story is amazing, each route will throw you into a violent rollercoaster of emotions. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry at each one, both for happiness and despair. The music is wonderful and the whole story is good. Each route is different yet so gripping you won't want to stop. The stories are evil, they will twist your heart in ways you've never known before. Ritsuko-chan for best waifu. Very recommended. Wonderful artwork, certainly value for money. The translation also uses very advanced English and some French, so be prepared to have google open.

One of the staples of Visual Novels / Bishoujo games out there. As you are the only guy in the entire school and serve as the key for reforming Vincennes Academy. You will be judged on determine whether the school will stay as an all girls schools or reforming it as a mixed gender school. [h1] Pros / Good points [/h1] [b]Story[/b] -The main story is pretty unique as it serves as the base and character development for most of the cast. The route works on choosing 1 girl out of 4 and go with it till the end. The development and conflicts for the story are definitely the key point of this VN. [b]Characters[/b] -This VN have wide variety of characters.The main four girls were give their own unique traits and hard to be catogorized with a simple dere types. Each girls have their own motives and goals which serve the purposes of their own arc stories. [b]Memorable Soundtracks[/b] -The soundtrack suits and sets the mood perfectly with scenes. Its OST 17, Sorrow is the best piece of this VN IMO. [b]Dollars per Hour[/b] -It's pretty long so it definitely pay for its price. Expect approximately 10 hours for its main route and 5 for each of the four girls. [b]Neat and helpful GUI [/b] -The GUI actually helps you by explaining some of the gibberish girls words which is awesome. The feature allowing you to customize the visibility of the dialogue box is pretty neat. [h1] Cons /Issues [/h1] [b]The Storyline for routes are too linear [/b] - Its lack of choices and endings might be quite of a turn off for those who wants a choice heavy VN. [b]There are only 4 girls route [/b] -Some arguably main girls are left to the sides without their own routes even though the cast of girls are pretty huge. [i]Feels bad for Ruriko [/i] [b]Bad End[/b] -Have the most lame and lazy bad ending I have seen from any VN I have played. It only has 1 bad ending and you can't be dissapoint enough. [b]Optimization[/b] -It's a pretty old VN so you can't expect it to look that good one a higher resolution PC. It goes 720p at most. It also [i] does not compatible with steam overlay.[/i] This is a big issues for those who wants to save screenshots. After considering the Pros and Con, I would definitely recommend this game. It is great for those who just starting out on visual novels because it has a very simple choices on its routes. The story is mediocre compared to other staples however. The sequel to this games definitely fixed some of the issues with the story routes and cast who haven't given much development. However if you a hardcore VN player and wants some heavy choice game , this might be a turn off for you.

It's hard to say goodbye to Vincennes. For two months this place has been like a second home, filling my nights and weekends with the joys and sorrows of youth. After the toughest and longest days and weeks at work it was always there waiting for me, never asking too much but providing so much in return. We have been through so much together. Knowing this is the end, that there is no more, is really sad. I bought the 18+ version on mangagamer. None of the 18+ scenes really alter the story at all, so the steam version should be just as fine without them. The story is linear with four main paths, but at 26 chapters it is quite lengthy. I am a little disappointed that you cannot date the cutest girl in the game (Mitsuki), but there's a lot of variety to the story in the paths that are there. In my dreams, there is a special edition of the game that opens up more paths, but since that won't become a reality I can just hope the alleged sequel gets localized as well. Vincennes is a place I would like to revisit someday. Original Sept 21, 2015. Edit September 16, 2017 The Bonus Disc, Princess Evangile W Happiness (Double Happiness) comes with the first 13 chapters of the common route, which on auto with fastest speed (but no voice skip) represents 19 hours. That is a ludicrous amount of content. The game may be a little pricey, but you get a lot for your money.

This might be longer than I planned. So before you continue reading - answer one question. Are you here for cute girls? If yes - then just buy the game. Even for full prize. Heroines and side characters (but I'm just talking about students) are well written, have their stories, personalities, good and bad sides. Add to that good voice acting! If you expect All ages version - then maybe it's not really good game for you. It's filled with sugestive talks, pantyshots and stuff like that. Sex scenes were cut off and some minor details are lacking but it's still not what I would call "all ages" version. Other thing is h-patch witch.. does not exist. Because why allow people to patch game if they can buy DLC aka Fan disc aka PE W Happiness (and patch it for H-scenes). Somebody here really wants your money I guess. Now to things that caused this review to be negative. Main character (MC) and plot. I just hate MC. In contrast every female character in game loves MC (except servants of evil ofc). He is described as Mr. Perfect all the time. Even compared to Jesus Christ. In the meantime he behaves like total idiot. Plot is terrible. It has more holes than Emmentaler. Mafia is trying to hurt MC? He wins fight by being lucky.. 3 times in a row. Huge debt? Winning lottery ticket! Huge blood loss? No problem - plot armor is there for happy ending :3 Whoever was writing it should abandon the idea of quoting bible and basically whole christianity background. Writers should do their homework before writing stuff like that. It screams "FAKE" each time it appears. Also some research about how schools actually work would be nice. I don't believe that any school head would allow to steer boat or work as lifeguard for student without proper permissions or something like that. What else? That's minor issue - but it's not a dating sim. It's more like kinetic VN (you just have to choose one of 4 routes in the middle of the game). Most choices are fake. For example - you can either help the damsel in distress or not. If you choose to help - MC helps her. If you choose to not - then MC says that it's not his business, walks away... and then says that it's not in his style and helps her anyway.. Other choices that I hate are choices that doesn't change anything... but are counted towards reaching certain route. For example MC have to choose one of the girls to kiss.. but then does nothing. Remember to save at first choice like that - you will have to choose the same girl all the time or you will get bad ending. That's painfull when it comes to replaying and aiming for different route. You have to change decission in all choices - even if you play on full auto and max speed - reaching new route from first choice will take about 1 hour... So be sure that you have something to read to kill the itme. Music is forgettable. Same with backgrounds. Steam overlay is not working and you can't alt+tab the game. To sum up. All effort put in this game was placed upon creating waifu material. Every other aspect of this VN is poorly made.
