Current Events > Starting up 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's by VanillaWare, same folks as Dragon's Crown and Muramasa.

Ten seconds in and already I'm in the fucking robot, Shinji.

I heard that the story is pretty good, but idk how I feel about (mostly) VNs

Yeah I'm a fan of VNs in general so I'm cool with it.

Started with a simple tutorial battle. Apparently as I've read on this game, the one conflict is the entirety of the fighting in the game. Like whenever you battle, it's during the single conflict at different times, which is kind of interesting.

But anyway, just talked with my bro about movies and made a pass at the incredibly hot school nurse. Kamitami's amazing. Every person in the game looks like a distinct character.

On our way home I ran into one of the other protagonists. I'm like "dude" and my bro is like "wait you know him?" and suddenly my hand starts glowing and oops I summoned a giant robot into the city. My bro is like "aw crud guess I gotta erase your memories a little" and boom now I'm done with the first guy and on to the first girl.

Still officially in the tutorial.

Main gameplay is kinda tower-defensey. Wait until you can attack and unleash. Different characters have different Sentinel movesets. Graphics during the fights are pretty basic; they're just icons on a map essentially, although you can pause and look at individual enemies and allies to see their art, there are no animations of them fighting. It's just lights and shapes and poofs.
