Since BK1 was a bit of a mixed bag I decided to get Mahoyoru as my next game
since I didn't really feel like playing anything else and just want to relax and read!
I wanted to try something different again from the usual otome stuff I sit through.
and Mahoyoru was one of the few options available. I won't post much screenshots
and they're all from before chapter 5 since PS4/5 cuts off capture from that point
so its probably best not to share anything past that point.
Pro's
- Good overall plot and great cast of characters.
- Art is gorgeous and bgm fits the mood/tone of the scenes.- Fun optional sidestories that give side characters their spotlight.
Con's
- Slice of Life scenes can seem like it drags on at times.
- UI can take a bit to get used to if you prefer text boxes.
This game is by the makers of fate/stay night and shares the same universe
but you don't need to read that first or anything and can dive in here just fine
as the story itself has nothing to do with fate and is self-contained.
There are 0 choices in the main story as well so you can just enjoy it without stress.
For some reason they made an optional gag scenario with choices but you can
always use a guide for it if you need it.
TL;DR I thought it was a good VN, some of the characters could
be a bit insufferable but ya know they're teens? most of the time it was just Aoko anyway.
Sadly it seems this game does kind of cut itself short and that they wanted to do more
but haven't gotten around to it, that aside it still was pretty well-rounded & the end was nice.
Can pretty much recommend it to anyone if you like visual novels in general.
More rambles after the jump but its just a little more detail of my experience with the game.
