Valkyries

I wouldn't recommend to support this dev. https://steamcommunity.com/id/valkiriana/status/1566690417 [i] Heartomics: Valkyries [/i] is a short fantasy visual novel. Maybe some players will find it relaxing as one of its tags implies. Unfortunately, I can't say I liked it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1758761892 [b] Pros [/b]: + Nice art. Backgrounds really are pretty. There's a gallery with approximately 100 CGs. + Cards. + Good English. I've noticed just one typo (mean while). + MC had the same surname, Rosenthal, as one of the most outstanding linguists in my country. I still often use his textbooks. It felt nice. xD + No patch is necessary. You may enable/disable nudity at the beginning of the game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1758761919 [b] Cons [/b]: – WEIRD SETTINGS. When I started the game I didn't see any. But they turned out to be...in the Gallery O_O – sound and music options. It took lots of clicking to adjust them. Maybe I was doing smth in a wrong way but there was no reaction. – text speed. Even at its max it is still too slow, even for me, ESL person. So again there was a lot of clicking—for the sentence totally to appear. – no backlog. Or so I thought all the game long. Only when I had finished playing, I found it in 'Help' section. O_o – text size. It is too little when it's not in the text bar. Besides, it's hard to read at colorful backgrounds. – no hiding text. H is not working. Maybe it's somewhere else, nothing will surprise me at this point, but I couldn't find it. – buggy save. I couldn't save during prologue. Save works only when there's text bar and I click settings. When there's none and I use right click, I appear at settings as well, but the previous file I used for save is saved again and not where I stopped. Once I decided to rewrite the save file and the image did change. But when I tried to continue the game from that place, it started from that original save. Wtf – I had to set 'windowed' mode every time I started the game, it'd be nice if my choice was remembered. – skip option. Only all the text. Again maybe it's me as we say it in Russian 'with hands growing from my ass', but I couldn't set it the way I needed. – F12 is not working. No screenshots without side programs. – long transitions between scenes. – lips are moving too fast. Who are characters? Rappers? – no guide. The first playthrough is short. Then it just takes time to unlock all CGs. Anyway you'll need to be in the game long enough to get all cards. – scenes seem abrupt. Not smooth writing at all. It feels like not a story but some compilation of episodes. Nsfw pictures appear just for a second at the end of the mature description and that's all, the story proceeds leaving unsatisfied. And even those intimate scenes are described in a couple of sentences. Some sex descriptions were disgusting for me. [spoiler] with the queen, his aunt... welp, it went not too far but even what I read made me wanna puke [/spoiler] – silly story. That's actually dev's quotation. Even when the creator thinks so...dunno even what else to add. I guess there's nothing wrong in it though. Not all games should be deep and serious... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1758761958 It's a crucial thing for me how well I can adjust the game for my taste. Maybe it could be a nice relaxing experience but all those issues with settings make the game unrecommendable. I even didn't finish it. Too many unlocked CGs still remain. But I had absolutely no desire to continue when I couldn't skip only the read text. Plus, I'm not into [strike] naked [/strike] pretty girls so much to spend more time on this game after I've already learned the story. So, maybe after some fixing I could change my review and recommend the game for one relaxing evening but not now, definitely not in this state.

Обзор будет малость нетипичный. [h1] Минусы: [/h1] При определённом выборе в начале игры - вы намертво зависните в диалоге с девочкой скромняшкой через пару минут. Чтобы вы не выбрали. Сохранения работают через раз, глючат. У меня ♥♥♥♥ забаговался даже фон с непрогруженного сохранения и выскакивал вместо чёрной заставки. Это просто копец. Ни с одной новеллы так не горела жепа, как с этой. Техническая часть игры просто задница. Меню сделано отстойно и неудобно. В настройки можно зайти только через галерею, загрузки или внутри игры. Ползунки в настройках не работают. Я смог изменить лишь 1 параметр звука из 3х и то, не иначе как чудом. Остальные не реагируют. Повторяю - сохранения тоже не работают. Куча багов. ♥♥♥♥ скриншотики даже не делаются. [h1] Плюсы игры: [/h1] Много текста. Но я не читал а скипал, но сюжет есть и больше 3х рутов. Неплохая рисовка персонажей. [h1] Итог: [/h1] Техническая составляющая игры полнейшее дерьмище. Не понимаю как она вышла в релиз с такими критическими ошибками. Я встречал лишь 1-2 русскоязычных новеллы с подобным. Не ожидал наткнутся на такое и здесь. Никому не советую эту игру, по крайней мере пока не исправят баги, а это не произойдет уже никогда. Просто ужасно. P.S. Возвращать не буду, домучаю до конца уж и скрафчу значок.

[h1]보1지고 자시고 쓰레기게임.[/h1] 첫보1지까지 소요시간: 5분 - 스토리는 스킵함. 선택지가 딱 2번 나옴. 배경화면은 외주를 줬는지 엄청나게 잘 그렸음. 하지만 나머지는 전부다 쓰레기다. 1. 옵션에 들어가면 시스템적인 랙이 엄청나게 발생함. Text속도 올리려고 하는데 존1나 안올라간다. 아예 반응을 안할경우도 많음. 스킵설정을 변경하려고 하는데 버튼 눌러도 변경이 아예 안됨. 겨우겨우 옵션 고치고(몇개는 포기하고) 옵션에서 나갔더니 옵션변경이 저장안된채 나가짐. - 다시 들어와서 하였음. 2. 배경화면과는 아주 차별적으로 인물그림을못그렸음. 이 게임을 하면 평면적인 얼굴형태라는게 뭔지 알수 있음. 3. 스크린샷찍는게 안됨. 내 스크린샷버튼이 F12인데 안먹힘. 4. 세이브.로드 안됨. 5. 갤러리 들어가면 CG숫자가 아주 많아 보이는데 실상은 12개정도 뿐. 6. 보1지랑 꼭1지는 잘 그렸음. 2명은 백1보지고 1명은 털을 깍았음. 7. 게임에서 교미씬의 비중이 너무 낮음. 스킵하면 1~2초만에 교미신이 끝남. 8. 그럼에도 불구하고 정가 9500원.. [h1]1~8까지의 내용에 근거하여 이 게임을 쓰레기로 평가함. 누가 사겠다면 두손두발들고 말리겠음.[/h1]

Con: * The Story is average which doesn't mean bad. But also not worth a Novel. And not very long, tho there are multiple routes. I assume it takes less than 10 hrs to read all routes, this is but a guess. * There is only a few choices to be made. I counted 3 on my first route. * There appears to be a loading screen? But it is so fats that it only looks like the image is broken for a second. Pro: * The Artwork is really good. * I like the animated characters, but their Mouth movement can get uncanny. * The lewd scenes are nicely done and not censored. But could be longer or more. * The Menu and visual presentation of textboxes is appealing, animations like the text progress marker are great as well: https://i.imgur.com/ANlb94w.png * The developer is very friendly and approachable, you can give him suggestions and he will actually listen and discuss them or add them to the game. Huge recommendation to try that. I would buy it on sale and have a nice few hours.

Are You crazy? 10 photo and a lot of words.... somthing like a 1980...

A nice short visual novel with lots of potential. The art is quite good. The contents of the gallery in particular, and it has a goodstory to follow, with interesting lore and characters. The only thing that could be considered a flaw is the fact that since it is short, players might feel the need for more, but that doesn't mean it should be an issue if you are looking for a short but entertaining visual novel wiht good art. Story and art are the forte in this visual novel.

For for the whole family!
