ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos Reviews

[h1]Dense and theatrical[/h1] I got into the game blind, only having read the reviews, and I did not expect such an immersive mecha anime game with time loops. Kinda. I expected a visual novel. But this is VR, and that truly made a big difference. I played on a Meta 3S headset and it ran perfectly My highlights: - The mecha fights are truly epic, also when seen from the ground; - Voice acting (I played with English dubs/subs, a rarity, but I love Chloe's voice actress' voice, Chelsey Moore); - The game has an actual intro OVA; - Noa's concerts; - The story & multiple endings; - The characters (small cast but mostly well-developed). What I liked less: - Although the mecha fights are epic, having to replay them multiple times with no way to fast forward (for most of them) to unlock different endings made it a bit more tedious. Small nitpick and I understand having to replay certain portions of the game for the different endings to ensure all flags get triggered. Overall an amazing VR visual novel.
