Sunrider: Liberation Day - Captain's Edition

A good mixture of VN and space tactics gameplay. This is the 3rd game in a series, the first two are free on Steam as one game.

My fav part of the whole story. A really emotional and dramatic space opera (which even allows savefile transfer from first 2 episodes)

Neat little visual novel with strategy battles. The story is pretty good, but only part of a whole. Start off with Mask of Arcadius, which is free and also good. There are later paid installments, as well. You lose some cool gameplay mechanics from the first game, but gain overall improvements with graphics and smoothness of play. Your choices are limited in comparison to the first game, and some critical decisions are made for you. A writing choice I do not care for, but it lends itself to the overall story. The characters are cute and heartfelt, if generic. Some characters start to act not so in character this time around, but the story does its best to explain why. The music absolutely slaps. Way better than I would have expected from a free game. One moment in particular near the end of the game has a musical power I will never forget. Made anything bad about the game worth it.

First off, if for some reason you've stumbled upon this game and haven't played Mask of Arcadius, go do so before considering this game. You have options at the beginning of the game to select how your previous game went down if you didn't complete the game, but without backstory or context it will make no sense. Besides, you would be playing this game but for free, and then you could give your money to this developer by purchasing this game. As such, as a $25 game, it's not bad...but it's not especially grand either. The combat system is only slightly more polished than the previous game, but I actually had the game crash on me once and two battles I had to tell it to reload (it threw an error but if you look at the bottom there's a reload button and after I hit it the game worked fine). So it feels a little sad paying for a sequel that feels a bit janky, at least with the first game it was free so I can overlook some issues. The way command points are earned and work in combat is probably the biggest difference, it actually encourages command point usage and more aggressive combat so that's a nice plus. Nothing broke my computer and maybe I'm just a bit impatient during the battles, so if you played Mask of Arcadius and expected something different this time, other than command points, it will disappoint you. The story of the first game (I'll try to keep it spoiler free), maybe not Shakespeare or the best story, but I was very interested in how things would play out. You had plenty of choices, oftentimes it didn't seem matter, but some choices actually will help or harm you in this game. But the choices seem very limited to the "main story" of this game, you don't feel very in control, you feel like you're watching a train wreck in slow motion. In some ways it makes it fascinating, but in others you don't feel like the choices you've made matter anymore. You're watching the character you tried to form with your choices go in a direction that you aren't sure you can agree with especially when your choices in the previous game don't seem to match. Howbeit, once you complete the main story line that's when things get weird. I can't fully explain it without spoilers, but let's just say you get a chance to change things. So, if you've enjoyed the previous game's story, this one takes things in an...interesting direction. Despite all these criticisms, I got the game on sale for $7.50 or so and I still enjoyed it, especially now that its sequel is out you can experience the full story. So if this game goes on sale or is part of a nice bundle, definitely buy it, but I wouldn't drop $25 on it especially when the sequel is going to cost $30. But if you'll drop $70+ on a brand new game without blinking and you enjoyed Mark of Arcadius then you could do far worse.

This game is decent, but a definite step down from Mask of Arcadius. [list] [*] I swear, the performance and crashing is a lot worse in this game. Make sure to save regularly. [*] The final boss of this game is underwhelming. A souped up ryder isn't as intimidating as the 40k Planet Killer from the last game. [*] The story is very short, and kinda sucks. Everyone is really really stupid, except the guy in charge of PACT. Please let me defect, Fontana-sama. [*] I was hoping for more Cosette. Whether she survives the beginning or not, basically everyone forgets her existence until the very end. [*] Why did they remove the battle animations? Those things were great in MoA. [/list] The gameplay is the best aspect of this game, by far. I'd say it carries this game from mediocre crap into something that's pretty good. If you're playing this for the first time, play on ENSIGN. Also make sure to respec the team as soon as you can - there's no penalty for doing so in this game.

Everybody sit down, as I am about to cook. Sunrider is a well written, fluffy space opera series that has the delightful cheesy harem romance side tone. The highs and lows of stakes and tragedy are kept in balance by comedy and romance to somewhat realistic support to keep a suspension of disbelief. This is a 5 star flan egg dish with a fresh cheese topping sure to please most. This is the second and third act to the series, so make sure to try out the FREE Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, which will act as a great demo to see if you enjoy what the series offers you (even if the game-play changes here and there between each game.) https://store.steampowered.com/app/313730/Sunrider_Mask_of_Arcadius/ REturn is also a feature of this game, which is a side story of questionable canon to the last game but explores the characters to a massive and fun degree. So do make sure to try if after beating the game normally or you will get MASSIVE spoilers right within the first 10 min.

Sunrider Liberation Day has a very different feel compared to Mask of Arcadius (previous game). That said, if you were engaged by the previous game, you will most likely still like this. Liberation Day's story is a bit more negative than the previous story, and puts less emphasis on the space opera daring captain and his ragtag crew, and focuses more on intrigue and betrayal. I personally think this was all executed very well, and this game fully engaged me (I have been swallowed whole by the Sunrider franchise). Liberation Day has a different feel from MoA because you have your degree of control removed, while you watch the events of the main story arc play out. Apparently, this was controversial, which I have been told is why the developers released the Captain's Edition, which reworked the ending, as well as added REturn, which is a time-travelling arc separate from the main storyline. I can definitely say that I really like the intrigue of the main storyline, and I also have enjoyed the routes in REturn I have played insofar. I like how the clear actions and consequences contrasts with the main game, and I must admit I am a fan of the whole time-travelling theme. On the technical side, I really like the new artstyle. It adds new depth, and in my opinion is superior to Mask of Arcadius. The voiceacting took me a little while to get used to (especially after listening to their voices in English in the first game), but it's grown on me, and I am definitely a fan now. Some minor changes were made to gameplay, such as animation removal, and some other minor changes, but the core features are essentially identical to MoA, including difficulty customisability. The gameplay still possesses the clunkiness of the previous game, but I still enjoyed it. Would recommend.

字体要直接放在game文件夹下才能用 ------------------------------------- 主线通完了，整体难度曲线比上一作安排得要好，研发确实能感觉得到用处了，sl的次数要少很多，舰长点数的上限使战斗的策略性更强。系统的稳定性也要好不少，不会像上一作动不动就崩溃，但是崩溃的情况仍然存在。有些遗憾的是这作把战斗动画简化了，没办法自己选择看还是不看动画。 -------------------------------------- re篇通差不多了，比本篇更有料

游戏买了就该玩，放久了就玩不了了。

le mal-aimé de la saga sunrider. Love in space a voulu mettre du budget pour proposer un jeu plus ambitieux que les deux premières itérations, et le résultat est en dent de scie : le doublage est amateur et peu convaincant, l'histoire passe d'un conflit manichéen à un gloubi-boulga de conspirations assez indigestes, avec un twist final qui en a dégoûté plus d'un. D'un autre côté la durée de vie est longue, les combats tactiques sont réussis, et les dessins sont en améliorations. Je recommande
