Totally 9/10 for this game, the fighting system TBH not very attractive or interesting especially for the final Boss fighting I think which needs to be improved. GP: -Story rich and multi-ends which can satisfy your need. -Charming characters, you can meet more than 30+character w/t similar and I think there must be someone you like and you can download the art book when you finished the game. -VA, the Cantonese for the main and side characters are very fit my desire, give you more impact in brain to feel it as Real -Music are very relaxed most time which give you a movie feeling when you playing and you can download the Soundtrack for free if you buy the game which has more than 90+ music Need to improved: -Voice lines are non-continuous which just a little confused, when you play silence for a while and a sudden voice appear just makes me uncomfortable -Battle system as I said in the beginning, I just not like the BS although there are many weapons can be used for two main character, some weapons are OP but some I think not good(Just IMO 'cuz I'm a story mode player) Hoping can play another similar game from the supplier.

Before the review, I would like to thank Gratesca for creating and localizing Noctuary. It is truly a hidden gem, and I am glad that I found it. You know that feeling when you're engaging with some kind of media, and it feels like it was made specifically for you? Like how the controls feel just right, or how a song speaks to you unlike any other. Well, Noctuary was this kind of experience for me. This game exceeded every expectation I had going into it. Just from opening up the game and going into the menu, you can feel how much love was put into it. Like, did they really need to create different instrument arrangements for every menu screen with the main overall motif? This is my first visual novel, and I'm glad that it turned out this way. The first chapters feature almost no combat and a lot of exposition, so it can feel a little slow, but after certain plot twists, it picks up its pace and never lets go. It is a deceptively dark story with a fantasy world I fell in love with. I really hope they do something more with it; there is so much potential for what can be done, considering we know almost nothing about the land of Darkness. It was really interesting reading through bits and pieces of lore and worldbuilding to come up with your own theories and conclusions. The translation is sometimes rough, but it doesn't affect the overall narrative. Gameplay is simple and fun. There are different strategies you can come up with using different Blessing Flower effects that can, in some cases, drastically change your play style. The 3D environments are really nice and pretty, and the bossfights were a spectacle to look at, although some animations in cutscenes were kind of stiff. The art is simply gorgeous. Every character has an exotic and interesting outfit that accentuates their personality. Every beacon background is wallpaper worthy. All the CGs are exuding passion and I'm really glad I can rewatch them in the gallery. The soundtrack for this game is outstanding. The devs were also generous enough to release it for free on Steam (the digital artbook is also free). Voice acting was also of very high quality. I played in Cantonese, but both options are good. The sound design was not as good, hearing the same "tablehit.mp3" was funny at first, but then I got used to it, so nothing too egregious. Overall, if you are into VNs or just like good high-fantasy stories with a unique and refreshing world, I would highly recommend it. 9/10

This is a game with a lot of soul in it; you can tell, right out the gate, that it was made with love. While the English translation is a little rough around the edges, and there's no English voices, there are many moments in this game which transcend those limitations and speak to you on a deeper level, so I'd say this game is worth playing for anyone who likes a good fantasy story. In addition, I adore the soundtrack for this game, and the combat system is surprisingly good for a visual novel; there isn't a single bossfight that I dislike.

After 100% gotta say really great game thats maybe 80% VN with 20% top down asymetrical combat with minor text errors and only 1 mission I found to be a weird difficulty spike. Also played it all on steam deck which runs well but can chug a little during gameplay with a lot of enemies/vfx.

I really like the story of this game. While it does have quite a lot of cliches, it still managed to surprise me many times throughout the game. This game loves foreshadowing, and most of the payoffs did pretty well. This game has one of the best character designs I have ever seen in any game. Each character has their own unique characteristics and charm. All characters in this game have their own story missions. And I absolutely love every single one of them. There are around 30 characters in the game, yet every character is alive and distinct from one another. I can remember every single one of their names and stories. This game has THE best UI I've ever encountered in this genre. It's intuitive and modern. Although, personally, I think some text can sometimes be a bit too small on the steam deck. One of the biggest issues I usually have with this type of game is how repetitive the battles can be, but this game absolutely nails it. While you will still encounter the same enemies multiple times, each stage presents different challenges. There are tons of bosses, all with unique animations and skills. Also, there are stages where you'll need to sneak into enemy bases or navigate through mazes. By the way, if you're also using a controller, you may want to change the button mapping a bit. I wouldn't say I like the default setting. Overall, this game is very story-focused. If combat isn't your thing, there's also a story mode. If you still find it too challenging, there's even a "cheat" option where you can basically use your skills at no cost. My only minor complaint with this game is the lack of english or japanese dubbing. Which is fine, and perhaps I just need some time to adjust. It does have a cantonese dubbing though.
