Impasse Journey ~ Kaohsiung Chapter ~ Reviews

My Chinese wasn't good enough to understand parts of the story, but I still really enjoyed it! I want to play it again after I have studied for longer and had a chance to visit Kaohsiung. Some criticisms: - I felt like the action/fight scenes were a little long, and particularly the last couple were kind of over-the-top/silly. - I didn't like how the girls were drawn all with their shirts clinging to their boobs like an erotic game, even though it's not that kind of game at all. For the most parts I like how their outfits match their personalities, but the short skirts also seem kind of out of place for the roles they fill. - Even though I'm sure there are plenty I missed, I still felt like the references to other media were a little too much, and I wasn't really interested in the details about the guns. - I wish the villain had seemed a bit more reasonable/likable. Some things I liked: - I liked the mix of slice-of-life, action, and political drama! It felt like the story had a lot of variety. - Qiongqi is so cool!!! I'm glad she was the protagonist/POV character! - The setting of course was awesome--a lot of post-apocalyptic media does not cover places that are mostly intact and are rebuilding and reorganizing; that and the fairly pacifist nature of the self-defense force felt very unique to me. - I liked that the achievements explained various real-life items people who aren't from Kaohsiung might not recognize.
