开着翻译软件一点一点玩完了第一章怎么说呢，We need Chinese。 剧情方面还是和前作一样的白开水，当然也有可能是还没到好的地方，但是我认为如果开头没有立刻吸引人的能力的话demo就显得很没用了。不过和前作比起来这一作的角色灵动了很多，也有了一个姑且算是地图的东西（说实话这个地图的作用很小，感觉可以和前作一样直接删掉）。开头的配置有一种丽洁+希娜的既视感，嘛，倒是也还行，如果让我说的话我可以打一个情怀的高分（我个人很喜欢这种战斗系统），晚些时候我玩一玩后续，如果不错的话会改成更好的评价

[h1]Magic Must Defeat Magic[/h1] [h2]Story[/h2] From the Steam description, you're probably thinking this is some sort of Harry Potter-like power fantasy, due to the protagonist Kaito joining a community of mages. As you play, it turns out magic has a dark twist and ultimately causes more harm than good, and every party member has been negatively affected by magic in some way, whether it's through unwanted side-effects or political power struggles. However, the source of magic, the Black Pearl, isn't explained all that well. The ending implies that there are efforts to get rid of it, but I can't help but wonder if the untranslated and removed prequel, HIBIKAKEYIRONOKISEKI, is necessary to fully understand the lore. Unfortunately, the pacing of the story is very slow compared to the amount of important things that actually happen. Some acts don't seem to advance the plot very much and just feel like filler monster extermination, which I felt made the game a bit longer than it should have been. As for the characters, like in Rise of the Third Power, there is a lot of friction between them, most of them have issues, and they have at least some positive character development concerning these issues, but I feel like the two who need growth the most, Marie and Asha, ended up getting the least. As a result, the two still feel like the "token evil/anti-hero teammates" of the party for the entire game, which makes the way the ending is set up all the more jarring, as I would have preferred Nina and Remy to be the ones to accompany Kaito for the ending segment. This is a minor nitpick, but I think some scenes would be better conveyed with CG images rather than just the live 2D models reacting to situations. It can be hard to tell what's going on otherwise. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] This game does something unusual with its town maps, since they're just shown to be minimaps with event markers, and you don't see what the location actually looks like other than a generic background image. In a way, it's like a bizarre combination of Fake Happy End and Sacred Earth Promise's map systems. Personally, I think the game should have committed to either a more pure visual novel exploration system or traditional RPG maps. As it stands, it still takes quite a bit of time to walk through town maps, but you don't even get to see what the maps look like, essentially giving the player the worst of both worlds. Combat segments consist of the party just moving forward to advance a progress bar while fighting waves of enemies, which is like the Eternal Senia mobile game. This definitely takes away the feeling of exploration that players would normally feel in an RPG dungeon, though it does mean we don't have to worry about getting lost and having to fight more enemies than we want. In a way, you could say this is the extreme opposite of RPGs that have needlessly huge and complicated dungeon maps, and I'd much prefer an RPG that strikes a balance between these extreme dungeon designs. All characters have to slot in 5 skills to use in battle, whether they be active or passive skills. Autopassive skills don't have to be equipped, but these skills are unique to each character. You can swap skills in the middle of battle, but doing so takes up an entire turn, so it's best to know the best possible setup beforehand if you want to use your turns efficiently. Unfortunately, a lot of skills require you to grind older skills through usage, which isn't always practical because some skills are inherently better for quick trash mobs than others. Note that you can't use items like in other RPGs and you can't revive characters, which means it's game over if even one character falls in battle. Fortunately, you have various healing and support skills to get around this, but it does mean that one bad move can be fatal. Other reviewers claim that the battle system is too simple, but looking at their playtime, it's unlikely they made it far enough to reach the game's difficulty spike. Before Act 11, you can turn your brain off and just spam attacks and healing magic to beat everything. In Act 11+, enemies can easily wipe the party if you choose disadvantageous elements or fail to pick characters and skills specifically to counter the enemy's own skillset. You can instantly retry a battle if you lose and automatically heal between fights, which offsets the difficulty, but you definitely need to use your head for some of these fights. While the story bosses are balanced enough, the endgame bosses feel really tanky because you have to play around their counterattack mechanics. At some point, you can unlock optional EX versions of story bosses, which have new skills and higher stats to cover their old weaknesses. Unfortunately, the skill grinding system is tedious and due to the lack of shared EXP, it can be hard to level up characters enough to match up with these EX bosses, so I don't really have much motivation to beat them right now. [h2]Verdict[/h2] 7/10 The story is dark, but decently written and has quite a twist at the end. The combat system is well-balanced, but various limitations like active party size, skill grinding, and deliberate stall tactics from both allies and enemies can make it feel tedious. The weakest part of the game is definitely the exploration and maps, since it seems to combine the RPG and visual novel exploration in the weakest way possible.

Mostly I agree with the other reviews, but I'd honestly say the combat isn't bad. It isn't super deep and there's very limited build variety but there's just little enough of it and it's just tightly tuned enough that bar the final boss it rarely takes long and is generally fun enough.

Um jogo divertido para quem gosta de jogos narrativos. A história é interessante, apesar de algumas pontas soltas. O ponto mais forte com certeza são os personagens; apesar de não serem exatamente profundos, são divertido de se conhecerem, cada um tem uma personalidade que trás dinâmicas diferentes e interessantes de se conhecer. Não tem quase jogatina aqui; existe um sistema de combate, mas é tão básico que nem da pra se chamar de "mecânica". No geral vale muito a pena dar uma chance para esse jogo, contato que não coloque muitas expectativas.

An interesting story to say the least. Recommended. I would say this is more of a visual novel than full rpg. The translation is solid compared to most other works. The battle system leaves much to be desired, but the story makes up for most of it. There is also an option to skip that if you just want to enjoy the story. Treat this as more of a visual novel than a RPG and you may like it. I found some battles painful to get through, mostly in the later stages. Overall a fine story just offset by some skippable but offputting battles.

...Интересный опыт. Сюжет. Если кратко: "ничего не понял, но очень интересно". Серьезно, некоторые моменты сложно понять (ниже будет объяснено почему), несмотря на обилие экспозиции, однако в целом он довольно увлекательный (несмотря на то, что чувствуется несколько затянутым). Видимо, проблема в том, что это сиквел, а оригинал на английском не доступен. Концовка неплохая, bitter-sweet, чувствуется внутреннее удовлетворение от нее. Геймплей. Он есть. Боевая система не ужасна, но ничего выдающегося. Не слишком сложно, но требует некоторого стратегического мышления. VN. Как визуальная новелла, Re:kuroi спорная. Полностью отсутствуют: нарративный текст и CG, из-за чего понять происходящее в некоторых сценах сложно. Однако, анимация персонажей довольно прикольная. В целом, порекомендовать к прохождению могу. Мне понравилось. Очень жаль, что игра не снискала хотя бы минимальной популярности, она явно заслуживает этого больше, чем очередной френдслоп.
