sanahtlig Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The developers of the Sakura series are finally creating games which provide both ample amounts of fanservice and an interesting, worthwhile storyline to go along with it. Hardcore Gamer: Sakura Fantasy Chapter 1 Review Also check out Satsuki's glowing review: (NSFW) Tales of the perverted swordwoman - Random Review - Sakura Fantasy Chapter 1 I will just say one thing... pour more money into Winged Cloud's pocket... [this game is] much better. Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I'll give you a casual skepticism/10 though. Silvz, Helvetica Standard, TexasDice and 3 others 6 Quote
Down Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I don't see no pigeon nor magical-girl transformations here. What is this. You're totally not seeing two global mods trashing a serious topic here. Nope. Stray Cat, nohman, Suzu Fanatic and 3 others 6 Quote
Keaton Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The one good thing about this game NSFW Kinda Also spoilers Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Good story, or A story? At first glance it looks like typical and cliche'd shounen storytelling including a medieval and European setting. Reminds me of Fault Milestone One, which incorporates anime style storytelling in a medieval world, but those people probably do it much better than Winged Cloud. Don't get me wrong the inclusion of an actual story is a step forward, I just don't believe you when you say it's "good." It's also incredibly short, so they inserted a story of ... dubious quality, and instead cut play time. Quote

Well, that said, the story itself, yeah, can be considered "good" (at least better than their previous games), but the way they developed the story totally rekt it. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 it’s too early in the morning for detecting sarcasm on the internet Quote
Kendjin Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Isn't this also the game where they are reaching out for someone to make the patch to patch in all their H content too. H = Good game? Quote
Clephas Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 *gasps* Kendjin is alive?!!! On another note... seriously? Paying ten dollars for an hour of reading? Quote
Deep Blue Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 *gasps* Kendjin is alive?!!! On another note... seriously? Paying ten dollars for an hour of reading? why not? I would definitely pay for narcissu 10 dollars without any doubt, I've paid for planetarian 10 bucks and it is really short, the length doesnt make the game better or worst. Quote
sanahtlig Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 it’s too early in the morning for detecting sarcasm on the internet I'll give you a hint: take a look at the quote from Satsuki's article in context. The scary thing is: there's no smoke and mirrors with the first quote. They actually said that. And probably even meant it. Their main gripe with the game seemed to be length, otherwise they likely would've given it a good score. Quote
Conjueror Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Oh my god, the writing of those guys in Winged Cloud makes even this look good in comparison. If this is an indication of where the linguistic arts are going, we'll be reading stuff written in cavemen paintings in another fourty years. Quote
AaronIsCrunchy Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Yeah, bought this a few days ago and played through in a couple of sittings. I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed it, but there were definitely some bits where the sheer volume of fanservice caused fits of giggles. I mean, a slime which eats all fabric and armour leaving the wearer naked? COME ON GUYS Quote
Wonderfullyevil Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I don't know what's more baffling, how Winged Cloud made a good story; or how a game of theirs is praised for having a good story. Quote
AaronIsCrunchy Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I don't know what's more baffling, how Winged Cloud made a good story; or how a game of theirs is praised for having a good story. Probably the latter. It's difficult to shake off a stigma with something vaguely solid. I haven't played any of their other VNs, but the feeling I'm getting from here is don't... or at least expect utter crap. Quote
sanahtlig Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 I mean, a slime which eats all fabric and armour leaving the wearer naked? COME ON GUYS That's a standard eroge trope featured in a zillion (much better) games. It's usually a prelude to penetration followed by insemination and subsequent ejection of new slime progeny. See the Venus Blood series for notable examples. AaronIsCrunchy 1 Quote
Zalor Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Don't get me wrong the inclusion of an actual story is a step forward, I just don't believe you when you say it's "good." Guy's you aren't seeing the true brilliance of what Winged Cloud is doing here. They are cleverly setting the bar so low, that with each subsequent sequel, the Sakura games can only improve. By gathering great publicity thought the notoriety of the first few games, they will shock us with the Shakespeare level quality they are saving for their last game.

By gathering great publicity thought the notoriety of the first few games, they will shock us with the Shakespeare level quality they are saving for their last game. There's a limit to the growth that can be achieved unless 2-year-olds were employed at the outset. And if they continue on this trajectory, their "Shakespeare quality" last work will be a haiku sold for $10. Quote
Satsuki Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Want to know what their "Shakepeare quality" work is? Sakura Bitch. Quote
XReaper Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 there´s obviously some weird religious cult behind, whose brainwashing those horny premature masses first with tons of crappy softcore porn, making them give away their very last bucks for a single dose of half-visible titties - resulting in a zombie-like endstadium - ready to be send out on a holy crusade against everything related to quality, enjoyment & literary value.

XReaper Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 fear the day they´ll discover that a female audience exists, too - welcome kenji striker, kenji onsen, kenji nights, kenji no ecchi, kenji kawaii....blehhhh SaintOfVoid, B0X0R and Suzu Fanatic 3 Quote
B0X0R Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Winged Clouds making a good VN? But that would ruin the whole reason as to why I love them! Quote
