[Review] Evenicle (by YouNa)
Evenicle. This game is made by Alicesoft and published by MangaGamer. First of all, I would like to start this review with the greeting that this game finally came to the Steam platform! Oh, I have something to mention. If you can not find this game on Steam, open up a new world in your settings. Then you will be able to find it. In fact, Evenicle has originally been released in 2015, and it received a lot of good praise. Therefore, Evenicle is a proven game that you should not have to worry about. So what is this game? Is it really worth playing? Let's find out.
Evenicle is a JRPG style game with Visual Novel mechanics. At first glance, this game may seem somewhat lacking for the RPG itself. But the real joy of this game is the story and the beautiful illustrations. The RPG elements of this game have been added on to make the game stand out. The story plot is simple but interesting. The source of the story may be similar to the story of King Arthur but with a twist and reinterpretation. Furthermore, when playing these kinds of games complicated plots are not really practical. This game aims to fulfill your wishes faithfully.
The synopsis that begins the story is as follows. The creator of the world, the Holy Mother Eve, gave two commandments: one must not kill another human, and one must only have one partner for life. However, knights are exempted from the latter divine rule, so that they can produce powerful offspring to fight against monsters. Somewhere in the land, there was a young man Asterisk who wished to marry the beautiful twin sisters who raised him. He decided that he will become a knight and get lots of wives! Thus, he set out on his journey with great enthusiasm and ambition. (https://vndb.org/v16640)
The beginning of this journey was to marry the beautiful sisters (Kyou and Kinou) who took care of Asterisk (Aster for short), but as the story progresses, Aster meets other female heroines. There are four main girl characters (Riche/Ramius/Gurigura/Kathryn) and sub-heroines (Towa/Tio/Erimo/Kuroa) that will fill your fantasy journey. In addition, 10 beautiful and unique marriage partners are waiting for you! Almost all the characters in the game have full voice overs. But this sweet romance is not everything in this game. Evenicle is the story of heroes who come together to understand each other's problems and achieve their goals. Sometimes there will be trials, but the story as a whole makes players feel warm.
How about Evenicle's GamePlay? It is simple and nothing innovative. But I must emphasize that the RPG mechanism in this game is not the main attraction. However, the gameplay style, including the game's RPG elements, makes Evenicle even more valuable as the seasoning in the food which enhances the flavor. Evenicle is a world exploration TRPG with Japanese anime style segments. As you explore the world with heroines, you encounter enemies and raise your level. There are many towns to visit and they have basic RPG features such as earning gold, buying equipment, and customizing abilities. Fortunately, RPG grinding is not difficult in this game. The characters will naturally grow stronger along with the flow of the story. And you can raise your character's level by experiencing love events. If you defeat monsters with your wives and fill up your love gauges with them, new skills will also gradually open up. In addition, the game has a variety of optional activities. Powerful Mega-monsters to to give you a challenge, Gal Monsters to catch through combat, and various service scenes to fulfill your wishes.
Evenicle is comfortable to be played in a fairly pleasant and light atmosphere. Evenicle is a game that guarantees unique fun while properly providing JRPG elements that will inspire you in the games of this genre. So even if you are a beginner, you will be able to easily adapt to the game and have fun. Of course, it can not be denied that there are uncomfortable factors in some cases. But compared to similar genres, I think this game will be easier to reach for more users. Besides if you're a fan of the Senran Kagura Series, popularly known in many ways, you will love this game even more. Wish you could see full uncut drawn by the same artist. And if you've been playing Alicesoft & MangaGamer games before, do not hesitate anymore. This is a game for you.
