One Last Chance Reviews

No. Just NO. Too many problems with this, the first being the ridiculous audio settings.. The first problem is the audio. Unless you turn the music all the way down to 0%, the music is way too loud compared to the voice volume, even if you max out the voice. Ugh. Watch my "Let's Play" and Review of this game right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJK4sxPmpo8 The second problem is the voice acting is terrible. When you hear a totally fake cry, it just comes off really cheesy. But my main problem with this game is the super simple, forced plot that doesn't make you feel anything or care about the character(s) in the story. It's a rushed, super cheesy plot and just feels "wrong" and "rushed" in every way. The game was left running accidently while I was afk after I completed the whole game, and one play through the game will likely take you somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. It's not a long virtual novel at all. There's no excuse for a visual novel like this that they ask any amount of money for feeling so shallow and "rushed". To compare, the visual novel "The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns" is FREE right here on Steam, and is about ten times better then this game. 1 out of 10. Not Recommended.

A delightful story of lost love and the chance to make it all right again. The character drawings, voicing and music really gives dimension to the each character. what let's it down a little bit is the basic interface.

this game only has one story line. It is very boring, and when it says 7 different endings, its not really what you pick half the time that influences the outcome. No matter what dialogue you pick, it ends up being the same dialogue, there is nothing fun about this game. I honestly expected a better game 0/10, definately do not buy, go find another game.

It's a bit odd to play an anime styled game without any japanese language spoken, not a single kanji or any sakura/fuji-san backgrounds seen in it. On the other hand the game is quite nice and pleasing. Tidy music and characters. Good job there. Cons are (or "what i didn't like personaly"): - can't scroll the text backwards, so be carefull not to miss it. - no scene selection. (though you can't use it if you're into achievements) - very odd choices you have to make to get differents endings - you just have to add some easter eggs achievements into a game which is made in anime style, but EU Else is alright. Fine. Great.

While my VN reviews tend to focus on the story, that will not be the case with One Last Chance. That's because the story is really simple and the characters are nice, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, what stands out about this game is its execution. On the bright side, art is pretty nice and the game has full voice acting (...well, almost. Except for the protag), which is a pleasant surprise for English VNs. On the other hand, however... dialogue tends to be the same regardless of what option you pick, which makes it a little hard to know what direction you're going towards until you finally reach the end. You'll probably need to check a guide to finish it. The fact that dialogue is so repetitive and the only thing that changes is the ending makes it a little tiring and boring to replay in order to get the different endings/achievements. It is also very, very short (I have nearly 3 hours on it because it took me a while to figure out 3 of the endings, since the only guide on Steam didn't work on those for me, but my first playthrough took only about 30 minutes), so while it is definitely not expensive, it is still a little pricey considering what you get. If possible, I recommend you get it on sale. One Last Chance is a nice little visual novel, but that's as far as it goes given its ordinary story and execution issues. 6/10

Bland story with little depth. The skip function is a pain in the proverbial, as there's no option to skip only previously read text. Although, the choices only seem to affect one or two lines of dialogue anyway, so I wasn't missing much. My biggest gripe, and the reason why I'm bothering to write a review at all, is the closing credits song. You cannot skip it, not without closing the game, and in order to get all the endings you have to play through multiple times, so you get to listen to the barely competent ballad sung by a vocalist who is not quite bad enough to be bad, but also not great either at least six times. It's going to haunt me for a while.

A short VN with a plot grounded on reality. It's more than just a story of a man rekindling his love for his long-lost childhood friend; it's also a simple reminder that in the midst of the complications of the modern adult world, we can always go back to simpler times and rediscover ourselves. And yes, I will support any VN with English voice acting.

“One Last Chance” is a very short visual novel, 30-40 minutes for a single playthrough assuming you listen to all the voiceover. There are 6 possible endings though, so there is definitely replay value for you adventure hunters out there. Personally, I liked it, the art style was nice, the music was gorgeous and I felt the voice acting really gave it a more human touch. It may not be for everyone as it’s clean (no sexual content) and is surprisingly deep at times (the tone is light at the beginning but becomes a bit heavier as the story progresses). Recommended 7 out of 10

First, I must say that I loved the BGM (expect for the last song, I really disliked the vocals.. Sorry) and the art style. But the story and its characters… Err. The story is really short and everything is so forced. Tara is an annoying character, and I couldn’t care less about her. The endings were also rushed. Oh, and there’s the VA; it was [i]terrible[/i]. Like really, really bad. The text is also a pain to read; to be honest it’s almost unreadable. I don’t mind the Tyrano engine, I know it’s a very basic one and that’s ok. The problem here was the story, dialogue, and the choice of font colors. 2/10.

There is nothing nice to say about this VN. I tried to think of something nice to say, but I just can't come up with anything. Let's see ... - Subpar writing - Boring story plot - Boring characters - Poor story-telling methods for character development - A lot of choices seem arbitrary in how they affect the ending(s) - All playthroughs are alike with the exception of slight dialogue changes from different choices and the endings are just a paragraph epilogue - Skip mode skips everything, not just read text - The credits are particularly slow and seemingly unskippable - The last achievement is glitched - This is supposed to be a romance VN, but because the story doesn't get you to care about the characters, it doesn't elicit any kind of emotional reaction while reading To be fair, I didn't play it with sound, so I suppose the music and voice acting might be okay, but even if it is, it wouldn't be enough to redeem itself.
