sanahtlig Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Developer: Black Cyc Genre: First-person shooter ADV VNDB Getchu The video is quite awesome, as are all of BlackCyc's OPs. Synopsis (translated by me from the Getchu shop page): Humans, and the mysterious enemy who resembles them--collectively termed "Non-Humans". In the midst of this racial dispute, this is a story of various people who pursue their own objectives--writhing in agony, opposing fate. A heavy collar fixed to her neck, a robotic shackle that counts down to her freedom. Himena, released from countless days of prison to be reborn as a murderer. These were the words that were burned into her consciousness at the prison "Hate Breed": "These are the Non-Humans. Your enemy, the enemy of humanity. Kill, kill, and kill some more. That's your sole path to freedom." Slaves allowed to live only as long as they continue killing: the FR Slayers. A robotic counter on the collar increased with each enemy terminated. To survive, their only choice was to put their lives on the line, again and again. In the midst of this, a new mission was given to FR Slayer Himena. Long neglected, a no man's land that no one dared approach: the abandoned island Rumon. There hid an influential Non-Human. To score kills and raise her counter, Himena enthusiastically set out to Rumon Island. Yet this turned out to be a strategically vital region, so important that the elite squad "Saints" had been dispatched. Just who are the Non-Humans? And which side will prevail in the end? Humans and those who defy them--a survival game staking the fate of their species begins. I posted this to contribute to a license request on the MangaGamer forums. Quote
TheFantasm Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The OP is cool and all, but after taking a quick look at the VNDB page, this seems to be one of those games I tend to avoid. Personal preference and all that. Quote
Deep Blue Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 from what I've seen the gameplay of this game is really poor and repetitive, can't say that it's bad because I didn't play it but all points that way... Quote
Toranth Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It's a poorly done FPS with RPG elements. Some routes are REALLY hard as well, meaning grind, loop, and constant reloading to get the outcome you want.Honestly, it would have been far better as just a simply choice-based VN. The story is typical Black Cyc quality and theme (dark, rape, and gore) but the gameplay is terrible. Quote
Deep Blue Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 yep that's it what it looks like from the videos, very repetitive and bland which is never a good thing...and being difficult doesn't help in anything just makes it worst Quote
fun2novel Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This is a very mature vn. But repetitive gameplay is not important if the story is good right? It's one of Black Cyc's best vns. I wouldn't discard it purely on the gameplay aspect of it. Quote
kyrt Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I wouldn't mind playing/reading this I can't think of any black cyc games that have actually been translated though which makes it getting licensed even less likely...at least with a fan translation they'd have half of their work done. It's a shame as I've heard nothing but good things about Black Cyc and this game sounds interesting. Quote
sanahtlig Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 I think the OP alone would sell the game. Quote
suikashoujo Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah, the singer that does most of Black Cyc's OPs is one of my favorites. She certainly sold me on multiple games of theirs. Quote
