Eikoku Tantei Mysteria the Crown - Ex story/After stories - Review

So if anyone wanted to know what the sequel content was like well here you go!

This post is for the extra content in the PS Vita version, I didn't

feel like including them in the main post and I am glad I did cuz it would ruin some of it, lol.
Besides I don't want to make my posts too long anymore.
I used the same play order as the main game.

Akechi > Watson > Holmes > Jack > Lupin > Grand After.

The most noticeable change is the art for CG's, they used the Oyayubi hime artist

instead of the original artist who worked on the PSP game, then there's Watson's new sprite
maybe the old file went corrupt so the current artist had to redraw it but now it looks ... different.

They also changed a few voice actors but I can't hear the difference that much
so they did try to sound like the originals.

 Can't say I'm happy with that, but it cannot be helped.

My summary is pretty shit as always but either way enjoy the memes.
 Spoilers after da jump.

Eikoku Tantei Mysteria the Crown - Review

英国探偵ミステリア The Crown

Game: [Eikoku Tantei Mysteria the Crown]
English title: English Detective Mysteria.

Genre: Otome game Visual Novel.

Developer/Publisher: Karin entertainment.

Platform:  PSP, PS Vita.

Official Site: http://www.mysteria.jp/

VNDB: https://vndb.org/v8243

Release date: 2016-02-11

So here we go, my 2nd Karin otomege, I have to say that I really like the setting and everything for this one.

 Apparently for the vita port's new content they replaced some seiyuus with newer ones.

Farewell Kimura Ryouhei.

 Honestly I have no clue why, but I do like that they give newer seiyuu's a chance.

TL;DR
8/10
I really liked Mysteria, but still no otomege is perfect also let me add that
this game is so unfinished its not even funny. 

Recommended play order:
Akechi > Kobayashi > Sara > Normal end > Watson > Holmes > Jack > Lupin > Truth.

 Pro's
 - Setting.
- The main cast is likeable.
- Interesting story even though its unfinished.
- humor.
- Character route is decent in length and does not overlap.
- Unique Seiyuu cast.
- Voiced heroine.
- Art and BGM.
- Holmes and Jack are moe as hell.

Con's
- Long common route.
- Kobayashi and Sara deserved a longer route or just a better ending.
- In most routes the romance and plot is not very well balanced.
- There might be some things you will go huh oh is that so at.
 - Pendleton.
- Not all of the choices are integrated into the mystery part of the plot which is a disappointment.
(For example like in Akechi's route and others, there aren't a lot of choices... I hope you get what I mean)
- Why was Lupin the only one who got a decent route, that is not fair.

Spoiler warning for the rest of the post.

This is the fandisc of Sangoku Rensenki, with after stories, minigames and such...
Wait minigames? I didn't find any in the Vita port though? maybe thats a PC exclusive?

I played vita port the original game last year, sadly I had to settle for the digital download via jp psn.
However for the FD I was able to secure a physical copy. :D
~

I greatly enjoyed the original Sangoku Rensenki, it was a fun otome game adaption of the 

sangoku period, which made me really excited after hearing the FD would also get a vita port.
Sangoku Rensenki is kind of like fushigi yuugi but it only borrows the book theme
everything else is basically unique, there are of reviews for the first
game available and none of them say its bad so if you're interested go pick it up.
I think the only flaw is too many characters but there should be atleast one that suits your taste

I really recommend to play the original sangoku rensenki, its really fun!
its quite light-hearted but does take itself serious in some moments.
If you end up liking that alot it you should really pick up the FD! 

TL;DR

 Pro's
- Fun after stories, though one of them was a bit depressing.
 - This FD makes me want even more, which is a good thing I suppose? T_T

Con's
- Its rather short, only get this if you want more and absolutely loved Sangoku Rensenki.
- The gag scenario while funny the first time is a waste of time on repeated playthrough's.

9/10
If you really liked the original Sangoku Rensenki the FD is definitely worth your time.
Especially if you also like Fushigi Yuugi as it borrows the book theme, between this game
and Jyuuza Engi I have to say I prefer Sangoku Rensenki much more, I'm all for
 heroines who can kick ass like Kanu but Hana still manages to be a A++ heroine 
despite being a little generic.
However if you've never played the original game don't even bother, but if Sanren
strikes your interest and you love the swept away to a distant land type of plot device
and chinese history by all means please do give the original Sangoku Rensenki a chance.

Getsuei no Kusari Sakuran Paranoia - Review

 月影の鎖 -錯乱パラノイア-
Game: [Chains of Moonlight Confusion Paranoia].

Genre: Otome game Visual Novel.

Developer/Publisher: Takuyo

Platform: PSP, PS Vita.

Official Site: http://www.takuyo.co.jp/products/getsuei/index.html

VNDB: https://vndb.org/v11469

Release date: 2016-12-23

TL;DR
8/10
This is like Spice and Wolf the otome game it gets close but not its quite similair, lol economics!
I guess it gets close to Clannad too due to ts tragic/depressive nature...
  Its not all that bad but this otomege is going to need an acquired taste as it isn't light-hearted
in the slightest, its probably the most realistic and mature otomege I've played thus far.
Also this game isn't for beginners of japanese language, you should've figured from
the old timey setting, economical crisis, talk of morals and politics...

Pro's
- Mature and realistic story of people trying to survive through dark times.
- Interesting characters and all the guys are likeable in some way.
- Art.
- BGM is well used, you can clearly tell if the scene is going to be happy, sad or no good.
- Unique Seiyuu cast.

Con's
- Story is one tough cookie, as its not light hearted in the slightest.
 - The main villain reasoning might be difficult to understand.
- Not much sugar content.

TL;DR
Check this demo out if you are unsure about this game, you might like it.
