Ratten Reich - Dance of Kings

its just text

In the few minutes I played this game I've found a few flaws. The biggest one for me are the audio problems. The audio setting in the settings menu only works in the main menu and makes no difference when you're actually playing. That makes the music BLAST in your ears which can be a bit uncomfortable. The bits of broken english can make it a little hard to read. The first choice in the game felt like both options were responding to each other. I'll still try and finish this, and may change my recommendation after that, but so far I'm finding it hard to recommend it.

One of the shortest visual novels I've ever seen. Its actually made up of 2 stories which I didn't realize at first, I realized it after reading the store page just now. That actually makes things a bit easier to understand I was wondering why the story seemed so disconnected lol its cuz there's 2 different ones. "I died in the first chapter why do I get to see the 2nd chapter?" its a 2nd story not a chapter apperantly. Either way the game is very short its like a demo more then anything else. Its a visual novel with a few choices but I wouldn't call them great dialogue options or anything. The music is eh, the English translation isn't the best either. I only really like the visuals. There is literally no color at all and its set in WW1 just with rats and mice instead of humans (I always thoughts rats and mice were the same animal, I'm surprised that they're fighting each other here.) +The visuals look good. Dark, no colours at all but its still easy to see and understand what you're supposed to be seeing. -The game started off in Russian for me which was weird. Thankfully the random button I clicked on the main menu ended up being the language settings menu. Still that could have been done better. -There's 2 stories, not 2 chapters. If you don't know that before going in then the story seems incredibly disconnected and weird. -English translation isn't the best. -Very short. -Kind of boring to read through. I'm not sure if its the English translation being weird or if its just not that interesting like a lot of things thats said feel so cliche and ordinary its not fun to read through. Aside from the visuals there isn't that a lot to praise for me. One complaint I do have for the visuals is in the first story you read through you're in a tank and its you and the driver the issue I have is that at first they show a medium sized tank and it runs on coal and you can see it and thats all cool and fine but then a few moments later in a different scene your tank all of a sudden turns into the very small WW1 FT17 French tank and that engine that runs on coal that you could very easily see sticking out of your tank before is now gone. Then some time later in another scene the tank changes to its original look again. Its just a bit weird. Either way it doesn't really matter how I review the game considering its not available on the Steam Store anymore. Interesting visuals but not much else.

just a grey screen and glitches my telly when closed nonono

good story can see a little history of both World Wars and the USA Civil war.

Good concept. Nice story.
