Overall comment GG. The story was good, casting and acting were good. Not too sweet. I just can't believe y'all killed off Bai Meng TwT . Scoring Story: 8/10 Casting: 9/10 Acting: 8/10 Gameplay: 6.5/10 - points lost due to rather complex keyboard control game mechanism Accessibility: 7/10 - lack of subtitling in many parts of the game, including during evidence gathering/searching and during phone text messages (should just make all messages voice messages with supporting subtitles) Final Score: 77%

I never realised I loved FMV games until I came across this. The scenes were of high quality and I loved the cast's personalities and characters. The story was fun and interesting, yet they managed to put in many moments that made me laugh and brought me joy, along with moments of tension and action as well. Though there were cheesy moments, they didn't really detract from the fun of it. Though on a technical level, alot could be improved in the optimisation, I found myself really enjoying the experience above all else. The characters were very endearing especially in the more comedic situations, and I loved seeing the behind the scenes moments during the credits, it made me happy to see the `people` behind the `characters` as they laughed and did their best.

While many romance FMV games are happy to offer the bare minimum story, titles like Refate: Echoes of Desire treat the narrative as a potent blade. Originally released on Epic Store in April, as Echo Flare, Refate: Echoes of Desire has full English support and extra content that was not in the initial release. Genre fans will appreciate the brisk pacing, diverse characters, and Yakuza themes as they explore Japan’s underbelly. The game begins with you waking up in an alley with no memory. You speak Chinese, but a special earphone lets you understand Japanese. After avoiding thugs around Tokyo, the female boss of a yakuza group recognizes you. To stay alive, and find out more, you join them. Although amnesia is typically clichéd and dull, here it works because there is so much else happening, like earning respect, martial-arts training, investigations, and hostile encounters, so the memory aspect is used mostly for motivation. Story pacing is amazing from start to finish. Every chapter ends with something interesting, like a tense confrontation or a memory reveal. It is all crafted to make you want to keep playing. There is no padding or meandering in this tidy Yakuza tale. It also seamlessly weaves in all love interests who feel more developed than some other games that have less. There are eight main love interests. Restaurateur, Rei, gets the fewest scenes, but the game balances the rest quite well. Shoka is the stern boss with prior romantic history. Chiyuki is her tomboy bodyguard. Kyoko is a bratty student and tsundere. Chiaki is the softly-spoken teacher. Outside the Yakuza, there is Bai Meng, who speaks Chinese and helps you remember. Two enter the story later—sultry gravure model Nei and righteous policewoman Wakaba—and both get enough screen time. There are some lewd scenes (mainly with Nei) but it is fairly natural. The eight love interests are diverse and well acted. Sadly, full ADR is used and the actresses do not lend their voices. Compared to the original Epic release, Kyoko now has full endings, along with a handful of new scenes. All eight admirers have decent branching finales, alongside early or special endings. Some endings are good, some are too short, and some of the text follow-up is silly, but overall they’re above standard. The game will take around 4 hours to finish and 8 to see everything. While it has no insane branching paths, there are enough choices and scenes unlock based on who you protect. Refate has full English support and the translation is okay, but names like Chiyuki and Chiaki get mixed up a few times, and there are intermittent gender problems. Video quality is a little mushy but mostly fine. The game has more QTEs than average but most are easy. You can skip all gameplay when replaying, which is great, although interface delays can occur. If you are seeking a compelling story about the Yakuza, with romance, then Refate: Echoes of Desire is a sharp choice.

Okay, it's a good game. The story, the acting, the fan service, the QTE's, the action are all very good. The English translation is also good. It's a very enjoyable experience. I also believe this game will have a sequel, so I won't comment on the fact that the story is not fully completed. The bad things. The game has a lack of polish that I wouldn't expect from a game that costs more than 15€. Sometimes, when I went to the main menu, the scene continued playing in the background, sometimes the videos froze or lagged, there was a delay when moving through the different chapters, one of the photos didn't unlock even though I had already played the correct scene. And the more annoying one was that when I was trying to finish all the routes, the alterations I made on the chapters reverted back if I jumped chapters. This makes sense in games with more systems, not this one where only affection matters. Sometimes I only wanted to alter some 1 or 2 scenes in different chapters(to get the Rei ending), but if I then jumped to the final chapters the choices didn't save. And I tested different things, like finishing the chapters with the alteration before jumping, but even this didn't work for me. Rant over, do I recommend the game? Yes, because it's a good FMV, with a good cast where you have 8 different heroines and I want a sequel xD. To finish, the game just came out 3 days ago, so the devs might still fix some of the problems I had and i hope they do, because I did enjoy my time with the game.

Absolute complete game, beginning to end. Mixed of Japanese and Chinese characters, you lose your memories but slowly try to regain clues while joining the baddest gang in Japan and climbing the ranks. Great QTE games, great story and character building, lovely actresses and several endings that will make you want more. Fan service is definitely available too for all the gooners. This is such a great game and great experience all around. Can't wait for a sequel if one will come. Absolutely adore Bai Meng, Shoka and Wakaba.
