Usually I don't bother leaving reviews for games even if they are very good, but this one deserves an exception. At the very least in order to balance out the negative ratings of the soy chinese review bombers. If it wasn't for the chinese review bombers, this game would almost certainly have Overwhelmingly positive rating. This is a very solid game with an exceptional story and it deserves much more exposure than it currently has. I'd say that this game is worth playing for the story alone even if, just like me, you have no knowledge of the lore Girls' Frontline.

Criminally went under the radar and was review bombed on release by Chinese controversies unrelated to the game. My 2024 GOTY. It's fun to play and incredibly unforgiving on challenge mode. I like that the high difficulty actually encourages you to use desperately use items, unlike most other games where you always hoard them until the end. The victory objective or gimmick of levels is constantly changing, and they were for the most part enjoyable. Easier difficulties exist if you want a more relaxed experience. This game has a LOT of story, and it's a sad emotional roller coaster most of the time. If you're turned off by long cutscenes this game may not be for you, there can be long stretches between gameplay segments. But what's there had me hooked throughout the entire game. If you like stories that have you feeling hopeless most of the time, this one will scratch that itch. The Japanese voice acting was nice to listen to as well. What may not be appealing to most people are the stealth and puzzle missions. They don't take up the bulk of the game, but there's a considerable amount of them. There have been updates after I've completed most of the game that supposedly changed some of them to be easier and/or allow you to play them like normal missions, but I do not know how these are. Steam deck runs the game just fine. BUT the text can be incredibly tiny for some ui elements. It's still readable, but very small. There's also an issue after you've completed the game where you can't bring up the on-screen keyboard to input a code for a secret second game.

A very fun SRPG with an extremely engrossing time loop story as Jefuty tries to thread the needle for her desired ending. I had no real prior reference of the Girl's Frontline setting before playing this game, but that didn't matter at all. It's also very much not a gacha game. Honestly, I found the way it presents its story very unique for a video game with the way the game progresses in chapter 4, as usually these sorts of scenarios are mainly found in visual novels, manga or film ala Edge of Tomorrow. So being able to experience that in a tactical SRPG was a treat. Furthermore, the way it presents its atmosphere and the sheer danger of its stakes to the main character and supporting cast was excellently done. Some of the most memorable moments were the bad ends and how the characters struggled as they were overwhelmed. The experience, income and equipment carried over as well, so it was really cool to go and hunt these down. It was also really something to think you were finally on the winning track only for the rug to be pulled out from under poor Jefuty in the blink of an eye. Some of the stealth sections could be annoying as they were more puzzle like, but for the most part you could just fight your way out when discovered. Only a couple missions disallowed that option. I'd heartily recommend this title if you like SRPG's and in particular, enjoy time looping stories. It took me near 100 hours for my first full play through so it's quite a meaty game. I'd be very keen for a sequel where a certain lunatic scientist hopefully gets his comeuppance.

Of Relic and B.O.W. : A Storm Brews In The Caucasus Mountains Review of Reverse Collapse: Codename Bakery First and foremost, I must express my utmost gratitude to fellow VA casts. Their acting is so good that it sends shivers down my spine. Being sufficiently capable in JP, I am able to understand their speech and first-hand experience the emotion delivered through them. My verdict; I had an absolutely mesmerizing and immersive story-reading experience. Gameplay/Difficulty I am not an experienced turn-based RPG gamer and would like to enjoy the story without having too much difficulty clearing the stages. Hence, I opted for Casual Mode. I like how even on Casual Mode, players are still required to understand the gimmick/flow of the stage to clear them. Overleveling does help to increase character's survivability but map knowledge is still important. There are quite a lot of stealth missions in this game which indeed feels puzzle-like. I had to undergo plenty of trial and error but I was able to enjoy them. Although, that may be due to the privilege of save scum in Casual Mode. At the end of the day, I enjoyed both stealth and battles in RC. FYI, if you are a very casual gamer. Fear not as XD dropped a new very very casual mode aka Casual2 Mode via 4/26 Patch for those who simply want to play RC for the story. Story RC's story is largely presented in visual novel format but there are chibi animated scenes too to visually engage audience attention. RC is tagged with "Story-Rich" which is a just fact to describe RC. Accordingly, I wish to dissect its richness and share its brilliant flavor to everyone who happens to stumble upon my humble review. Due to the lengthy nature of gameplay and story that RC possesses, it is generous enough to provide story refresher to players whenever they continue from their save. Despite being lore-heavy, I hold the opinion that you don't need to know all the lore tidbits to enjoy RC. Because it is also story-centric in which it will attempt to explain itself throughout the story cutscenes. Therefore, players who are unfamiliar with Reverse Collapse and by extension, Girls Frontline lore as a whole can definitely enjoy RC's base story. In summary, the story of Reverse Collapse is about how Operation Bakery went wrong and Mendo, an agent involved in escorting the VIP who strives to complete the mission along with the assistance from Atena and Jevon. Ensuring that Bakery is safely evacuated to Antarctica. On the other side of the spectrum, Bakery wants to save her sister who is under enemy captivity before evacuating. This leads to conflict of interest which further complicates their already unfavorable situation. How do these odd cast of characters deal with adversaries at hand? Can Mendo ensure that Bakery and her sister will be safely evacuated to Antarctica? Read the story and find out. BEWARE SPOILERY STORY REVIEW AHEAD Beyond this point, I would like to provide my brief dissection of themes brought out in RC's story. In order to maximize the quality of my review. I shall be delving into spoiler territory. Past this point, I ask of you fellow readers to venture at your own discretion. What supposedly started as a simple military operation to escort Bakery (whose real name is Jefuty) which later unfolds itself to an encounter with an eldritch horror grotesque-level of bioweaponry is beyond my expectation. Mendo and Jefuty not only have to deal with URNC soldiers but also Shrike abomination which has consistently thrown them off-guard. Perhaps, only by overcoming Shrike's monstrosity, can our protagonists reach the true ending of this story? RC is a story of struggle Through death, Jefuty could "restart". Hence, when there was no hope left. She could start over again to find new paths that lead to new possibilities. It sounds like a convenient superpower. In reality, she has to experience the pain of death and the pain of suffering over and over again. Furthermore, this power is not a one stop solution. Therefore, she still has to experience the pain of struggle many times over in order to achieve her objective. Besides that, the grim reality of this power is that when she dies in a timeline, that timeline continues. Consequently, in that timeline, people who are close to Jefuty will be affected by her death. Watching “that” scene, brief it was, still it shattered my heart. As painful as it might be, this power is the only way to help find the ideal future. As such, "struggle is not without pain" is one of the themes persisting throughout the story. RC is a story of bond Jefuty has the choice of evacuating to Antarctica first but she is adamant on leaving together with her sister, Lige. This shows remarkable sisterhood. As the saying goes,"Ohana is family. Family means nobody is left or forgotten". Saving her is not easy due to interference from Shrike to the extent of having to “restart”. Yet, the failures she has to face thus far were not enough to melt her will of steel in taking Lige back. Even if there is no hope this time. But next time, surely. This points to the theme of family in RC. In addition, Mendo displayed a strong sense of camaraderie. After their safehouse was attacked and later, successfully regrouped with Jefuty, the first thing in his mind was to save Atena. Having had to acknowledge the cold truth about Atena’s death, the frustration and exasperation at being unable to save Atena even made him disparage Jefuty. Verily, bonds are not only tied by blood. RC is secretly a pure love story When it comes to a pure love story, what comes to mind? In reference to [url=vndb.org/g534] this , in essence, it is a story where lovers undergo hardship and prevail. However that may be, a pure love story does not necessarily translate into a happy ending. Since, romance is not the main focus of this story. It is presented in a subtle manner and is more apparent until very later in the game. During their first meeting, Mendo and Jefuty are complete strangers. Through topics of personal matter, they realized how their lives are somehow intertwined. In addition to small conversations over meals, they gradually warmed up to each other. At one point, although faint, the bud of love could be seen blossoming among them. RC’s ending reflects the hard truth of reality where not every ending will be a happy ever after. One of the virtues of a pure love story is the sacrifice for their beloved ones. In the end, even though Jefuty’s sacrifice is motivated by the goal to prevent the end of the world. More than anything else, she wants her dearly beloved to live. Genuinely, an epitome of love in its purest form. Conclusion As I have portrayed through my review, RC is a game heavy on the story. Although I only lightly touched on RC’s gameplay, based on other reviews, RC also accommodates players heavily invested in the gameplay experience. Therefore, if you are someone who is invested either in story/character or gameplay. Then, Reverse Collapse: Codename Bakery is definitely the game for you. p.s.
