Beneath Her Starry Sky 评测

When it comes to visual novels, we find just too many dating simulators. And among those visual novel games not dating-oriented that I played before, female protagonists were rarely seen and female characters were often linked to some sort of romantic relationship. A true adventure story (not obsessed with romance) with a female protagonist and several lovable female side characters—that's what attracted me in the first place. This said, the setting on itself doesn't make a good game. This game has other merits. The story is intriguing and sensible. Sometimes, I can sense an influence from the real world, but almost nothing appears out of place in an "ancient" background. I also like how characters are depicted to show different images depending on circumstances. This makes them real and it's no easy work. The music is a plus. I'd love to purchase the OST on Steam (if possible). The battle system is easy to master. I'd say the last battle is overly simple. It may not be a good idea to have a complicated battle system for a visual novel game, though. Also, I like the idea of having conversations during the fight, which makes the process less repetitive. Overall, this is a visual novel with a unique touch, a perfect choice for those (like me) who love adventure stories and are not into the romance stuff.
