I just saw this game on Steam when it was on sale, and bought it because of the positive reviews. The reviews were right, this game is so good! The worldbuilding is great, the characters are very unique and full of life, even most of the side quests are good. Everything in this game are also relevant to the story, so you'll really need to work towards completion. I also just noticed that this game has the visual novel tag. It was fun making different decisions and working towards different endings. The endings are also very different from each other so it was nice to see all of them. Despite being a visual novel, I think it's more of a JRPG (or CRPG since it's Chinese), and I really liked the battle system here. It's quite different and it was hard for me to get used to, but I enjoyed it especially once I got used to it. There are some misspelled words and a bit of incorrect grammar in the translation, but the structure is still good and understandable.

There’s a charming idealism to the JRPG-like story in how every pretty much every character is fundamentally unselfish and even so there’s still conflict comes from a difference in ideals. Even so it’s not light hearted; there’s a feeling of desperation and a society and people desperately struggling to survive (it might have hit harder if the translation wasn’t a bit wonky though). The ARPG gameplay doesn’t have enough depth in itself to be the main course but it’s a fun side dish with most gameplay segments being short 5 minute chunks in between the story. There’s a decent variety of scenarios and some flashy boss fights. It works really well in service to the story. Also has a really good sountrack, especially the battle music.

Somehow I stumbled across this game (just browsing Steam) a few months ago and parts looked appealing so I put it on my wishlist and bought it when on sale, despite not knowing anything about it.. and I'm glad I did, as I now love it. It's primarily a visual novel (more than 80% of my playtime), and an action game a distant second, so if you're not interested in reading a story, it'll be a turn-off. There also seem to be a number of text errors in English (spelling, grammar, or using the wrong names), although really, it's only a small percentage of text; like 99% of lines may be fine and 1% have errors, but when you're doing ~25 hours of reading, that can still add up to a hundred mistakes. (I've played a total of 34 hours, but some were in offline mode.) With that out of the way, I mainly love Noctuary's characters and story/writing, as well as art and music. The action gameplay, while somewhat basic, was still fairly engaging and had some challenging moments where changing your build was worth considering. There's also plenty of silly humour, and I laughed so hard when I saw some references I didn't expect (mainly one reference to a certain Capcom series)...

Totally 9/10 for this game, the fighting system TBH not very attractive or interesting especially for the final Boss fighting I think which needs to be improved. GP: -Story rich and multi-ends which can satisfy your need. -Charming characters, you can meet more than 30+character w/t similar and I think there must be someone you like and you can download the art book when you finished the game. -VA, the Cantonese for the main and side characters are very fit my desire, give you more impact in brain to feel it as Real -Music are very relaxed most time which give you a movie feeling when you playing and you can download the Soundtrack for free if you buy the game which has more than 90+ music Need to improved: -Voice lines are non-continuous which just a little confused, when you play silence for a while and a sudden voice appear just makes me uncomfortable -Battle system as I said in the beginning, I just not like the BS although there are many weapons can be used for two main character, some weapons are OP but some I think not good(Just IMO 'cuz I'm a story mode player) Hoping can play another similar game from the supplier.

Before the review, I would like to thank Gratesca for creating and localizing Noctuary. It is truly a hidden gem, and I am glad that I found it. You know that feeling when you're engaging with some kind of media, and it feels like it was made specifically for you? Like how the controls feel just right, or how a song speaks to you unlike any other. Well, Noctuary was this kind of experience for me. This game exceeded every expectation I had going into it. Just from opening up the game and going into the menu, you can feel how much love was put into it. Like, did they really need to create different instrument arrangements for every menu screen with the main overall motif? This is my first visual novel, and I'm glad that it turned out this way. The first chapters feature almost no combat and a lot of exposition, so it can feel a little slow, but after certain plot twists, it picks up its pace and never lets go. It is a deceptively dark story with a fantasy world I fell in love with. I really hope they do something more with it; there is so much potential for what can be done, considering we know almost nothing about the land of Darkness. It was really interesting reading through bits and pieces of lore and worldbuilding to come up with your own theories and conclusions. The translation is sometimes rough, but it doesn't affect the overall narrative. Gameplay is simple and fun. There are different strategies you can come up with using different Blessing Flower effects that can, in some cases, drastically change your play style. The 3D environments are really nice and pretty, and the bossfights were a spectacle to look at, although some animations in cutscenes were kind of stiff. The art is simply gorgeous. Every character has an exotic and interesting outfit that accentuates their personality. Every beacon background is wallpaper worthy. All the CGs are exuding passion and I'm really glad I can rewatch them in the gallery. The soundtrack for this game is outstanding. The devs were also generous enough to release it for free on Steam (the digital artbook is also free). Voice acting was also of very high quality. I played in Cantonese, but both options are good. The sound design was not as good, hearing the same "tablehit.mp3" was funny at first, but then I got used to it, so nothing too egregious. Overall, if you are into VNs or just like good high-fantasy stories with a unique and refreshing world, I would highly recommend it. 9/10
