Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen

Utawarerumono is a great, charming series, and one that is more than deserving of a closer look. This remake might not stand the test of time quite as much as its sequels, but don't let that stop you from getting into the series - it's one that I can't recommend enough.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen has some flaws, but is an excellent starting point to an epic tale.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is an excellent combination of visual novel and strategic RPG. Despite minor missteps in the course of the story, the game is in fact a classic full of charm and fans of Japanese games in general should explore it.

If you are in the mood for a hefty visual novel full of compelling characters and don’t mind that the combat mechanics aren’t particularly deep, then you’ll definitely want to give the Utawarerumono franchise a shot.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is one of the best fantasy visual novels on the market, with an excellent story, fun characters, great pacing, and solid art and music backing it up.

If you enjoy Visual Novels and battles that require thoughts and tactics, then Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is the best choice for you. This game’s narrative will make you fall in love with it

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen finally brings the original game to the West with an amazing storyline hampered by simple tactical combat.

Utawarerumono – Prelude to the Fallen is just like any visual novel that I would recommend. It might have a slow start, but it picks up the pace once you pass a certain point. The strategy RPG part is interesting as well. If you like visual novels, you can keep a copy, but for just the experience just borrow a copy and be done with it. It is enjoyable as a one-time play only.

An interesting story, and some fighting with good ideas, buried under tons of text devoid of any kind of language associated with video games. Neither interactivity, nor cinematics, nor correlation between type of narration and RPG combat. Only for those who have a lot of interest in its history.

For Utawarerumono fans out there who always wondered how the series began I can’t help but recommend this game. Sure, it shows its age a little in certain parts of the visuals but the characters, artwork, soundtrack, and story are all well worth experiencing through to the end even if that story loses some steam here and there.
