Writing this review for all the newcomers to the series. I HIGHLY recommend this game, and I also recommend everyone to avoid spoilers, since one major strenghts of Sir Brante is its writing. But here's sort of short summary(no spoilers) of why you should play this game. Basically imagine if visual novels genre had a baby with RPG genre, and ya get Sir Brante! The gameplay is you trying to help Brante survive, by making important choices in his life, shaping him as a person(as in, is he more pro aristocracy or not, will he go out of his way to help as many or play it safe etc) And I say survive, because, its surprisingly hard to get a good endings on your first, or even second run. The game requires you to have good stats for most impactful choices, which require you to make smaller choices in earlier chapters. If you fail to raise your stats sufficiently, or make risky choices n run out of lives, you'll get game overs, or worst endings. Which adds a LOT of depth to this game, you genuinely get immersed in this highly hierarchical fictional society, trying to weight in your morals, or even questioning what would be moral, since the game isnt so black and white in its writing. Even if you couldn't make choices, the writing alone single handedly makes it worth playing this game, The way characters are written, the events(like final chapter) unfold, makes the game world feel extremely realistic, and captivating. And the soundrack, oh man the soundtrack is just breathtaking. We rarely get classiical music in games, even rarer does it sound so, picturesque? All Brante music fits each scene perfectly, despite reusing a lot of tracks. Really the only downside to this game is that, its a little repetitive after a few playthroughs, because some events dont have much going for em, like childhood friend, but you can get at the very least 3 unique playthroughs, arguably 6, where almost all your choices can be different. Small spoiler free tip, you should try to not minmax too much for your first playthrough, unless you know what to do, and try to focus on increasing stats appropriate for the lot you chose, sure that means your playthrough might not end up as happy, since you do need to minmax a bit in earlier chapters, but thats just Life and Suffering of Sir Brante for ya
I really want to love this game, i will give it a thumbs up because the story and soundtrack are really great, but i couldn't finish the game. I ragequit and restarted the playthrough 4 times in the past 2 days. The game is divised in 4 parts, and no matter how I approached my choices, i got stunlocked at the end of chapter 3 with decisions limited to only 1 as either i didnt have enough remaining "willpower" (energy-like mechanism besides the other countless stats you need to level) or was short on 1 stat of something and was forced to select the worst choice out of 4. Basically you need to look up a guide to be able to actually have the ability to chose from OPTIONS in a game where choices matter?? Sorry but i won't do that. This game would be so much better with the willpower mechanic removed, that is the basically what the "suffering" is about. I don't mind bad endings due to poor choices i made, as long as i have options to chose from, since the game is all about CHOICES YOU MAKE. There's an option to turn on tooltips to see what stats you will get and see what you need for a certain path, but what's the point of that in a game like this? I don't want to be influenced by a choice just because i see it will give me 10 willpower that i will surely need later on, as without it, i just get locked out of options to chose from. It was so close to be a great game, which it is if you don't mind playing skip dialogue simulator. I recommend it to buy it on sale as 20euros is just too much to pay to be frustrated over and over again.
Having played this game, I am now eternally plagued by steam recommending me various hentai visual novel garbage. Heavy is the burden imposed upon your average "choices matter" enjoyer... Anyway, the game is really good with establishing an interesting narrative and lore that gets you immediately hooked. It presents you with an arrangement of storylines to pursue, always keeping you on your toes with choices that challenge your views and morals. You really have to carefully plan out your skills and behaviour direction; there are always matters you have to sacrifice in order to achieve something. This kind of careful maneuvering straight out of an otome VN felt very exciting to encounter in a game that doesn't focus itself on wooing some dude's png. My only complaint is that I really wished for the game to have some kind of voiceover, but it's obvious the game was made on a tight budget so voice acting couldn't be implemented. Generally I don't care much for voiceovers, but I felt like the game could've potentially benefitted from it quite a lot. It's still a great 'choices matter' VN though, would take the follow-up plunge of cursed steam recommendations anytime.
A great narrative-driven game with good writing, soundtrack, and art style. Also interesting world-building. Despite an overall good impression, I have to state that it is not a "choose your own adventure" type of game, but rather "calculate your adventure". Despite seemingly branching paths, the game is still heavily decided by the numbers you get during your playthrough. I suggest playing once for yourself to get into the game's world and mechanics, and then use guides to read through a great, interesting, and compelling story where everything was already calculated accordingly by other players. Basically, you have 3 main paths and 2 sub paths for each of them. Hope the next entry will depend on numbers a bit less.
I adore this game. It has a surprising depth to its world story and the world's theology that I was very fascinated with. There is a lot of nuance to explore, and I have only touched one of the many paths this game can take you. First off, I want to mention I first played the game with hidden consequences (you won't know what stats your choices change) and it made my first play through feel like a real story. However, it can end up locking you out of important choices for outcomes you want to have. Everything I wanted to happen in my first playthrough ended up falling apart because I was unable to (lack of stats). I suppose that is realistic but when you see the choice you want to make be greyed out, it can be frustrating. So, if you want to be guided by your choices alone, turn on hidden consequences. If you want a particular outcome, keep hidden consequences turned off. There are chapters that are very moving and some that make you feel awful (in a good way). I think the strongest writing is the character's family struggles, which makes up the first chapter, a lot of the second, and some of the fourth. The last chapter is likely the weakest part of the book due to how fast everything moves. The artwork is based as well. There are so many scenes where it is pure auramaxxing. I don't want to spoil much so I won't go into details. I was never a visual novel guy but this game has introduced me into a new world. I will always remember this story.
