Just finished Utawarerumono Mask of Deception. Pretty gud story.

>>379567161
>$31
I paid $46, and I pre-ordered it. Fucking Amazon.

The game was fun, until it intentionally messed up the story for the sole purpose of selling the sequel. Doesn't even lead up to it, gets to a certain point, then everything becomes serious.

I've been considering buying it but I'm afraid it isn't enough of an srpg. How many battles are there?

Is Karura in it?

It's primary a visual novel and secondary a srpg. Tho the story is pretty good. I'm awaiting the next game.

There's 17 story battles and a few more post game free battles.

I'm about 3 hours in. Can you romance anyone in this fucking game or not?

It's not a dating sim. It follows a story, you don't choose anything.

btw, i hope you played the first Utawarerumono game before this one. There's a fan translated pc version out there.

Like fuck Kuon. Haku can be lazy but she's a complete turbo bitch. I'm okay that everyone isn't instantly sucking Haku's cock before he's really proved himself yet, but the amount of times he gets shit on when he's not to blame at all is getting kind of annoying.

The first one isn't a dating sim either. It has a canon harem storyline and the MC ends up with like four wives by the end of it because he's the equivalent of an Emperor.

>>379567161
Just 18 battle. What is so good about it?

Shit when did it come out? Guess I'll resub to gamefly

>>379575594
>What is so good about it?

I really enjoy the story. It's nice every now and then to take a break from my usual action games and enjoy a grand story.

>>379567161
Funny, I was just thinking of this game. It's a PS4 exclusive, right? What a sha,e.

>>379576021
It is just your typical weeb tropes no?

>>379576781
on the surface it seems like that, but the overall main story is pretty gud.

Is this one full of magic and retarded anime shit or a down to earth plot like the beginning of the original?

>>379577769
it's even worse. steer clear of this, it's just generic waifu harem weebshit

>>379577769

Like the first one. There's magic but it's limited to very few people and isn't the answer to every problem. None of the really mystical and slight sci-fi stuff starts popping up until near the end.

>>379577769
instead of being the new guy that tries to find your place, you're the generic shonen hero in the middle of the harem of the most powerful women of the country, you're also the chosen one and the dumb clueless dude

I bought the limited edition but it's sitting in its factory-wrapper on a shelf. Will play it eventually.
Got banged up during delivery though, fucking Amazon.

>>379577952
>None of the really mystical and slight sci-fi stuff starts popping up until near the end.

Actually the sci-fi is showned in bits throughout and makes sense towards the end.

Finishing up the first season of the anime tomorrow morning and starting on this. All else I need to know is that all that shit about "not having a wife" is anime only, and in reality he was fucking every bitch under the sun, and had a babby with Yuzuha, right?

>>379578651
vn is always better than the anime. You should have played the vn instead of watching the anime.

>>379578651
no, he explodes at the end. turns out he was a robot all along!

>>379578651

Never watched the anime, but Hakuoro canonically takes Eruru, Touka, Karulau, and Urutori as his wives. Kuon even refers to all of them as her mothers.

>>379578891
I use Linux, so I didn't want to try and deal with setting that shit up in WINE. Also, I bought the game to play through with my dad, who also watched the first season of the anime and liked it. I'm gonna be playing through it with him, and I thought it was only fair if we had the same knowledge going in.
>>379578904
oh no!
>>379578930
Thanks.

>>379579179

And yeah, in the VN he gets it on with almost every main female. Hakuoro was basically an Emperor so it was perfectly normal for him to have a harem.

>>379579327
Basically? He WAS the emperor.

>>379567161

>>379579448
One of the worst parts of the game is that the text will allude to a lewd scenario, yet the art shown is a standard background. There are times where it feels like an H-game, with no official H-art.

Things better change real quick when he puts on the mask. Haku can be a bit lazy and sarcastic, but the amount the game shits on him is completely unjustified.

Take Kiuru with you into battle. Once he gets his ability to attack twice in one turn, with the equipped abilities which empower units with less than 25% health, he can wipe out incoming units. Ignore that it will take over thirty levels for that to happen...

Shit. Slightly massive spoiler alert there.

>>379590050
They are the reason I'm pre-ordering the second game.

>>379590148
does it get it post game because I've been taking him to battle and he still never got to attack twice in one turn. Kinda pointless since i already beaten final boss and he still didn't get it yet.

>>379590148
> muh stomach...

every time i take him to battle.

>>379590364
You can save/do old battles in the battle setup preparation menu (most players do not know this). This enables you to power-level for the "final boss" fight.

>>379590328
i preordered it too, tho i don't care about the pillowcase. I actually just want to know what happens next in the story.

So is this the second game or the third game? Shit's confusing.

>>379590492
He's going to get his ass whipped, and he is going to stand in place. Which is why you have to equip bonuses for low health. I normally move him to the front lines, just in case my healers are targeted.

>>379590629
>You can save/do old battles in the battle setup preparation menu (most players do not know this). This enables you to power-level for the "final boss" fight.

it's easy enough on normal that you don't have to powerlevel for shit.

>>379590732
It doesn't help that people number them differently.
There are 3 games and this is the second one. Third one coming out in the fall.

The first game came out ages ago and now we have 2 new games coming out almost at the same time, so it's the "first of the two new games".

>>379590732
Mask of Deception is the second game. Mask of Truth is the third.

>>379578930
That's wrong.
She refers to them as her mothers because her real mother Yuzuha died and the rest of the girls raised her together all giving her motherly love. It has nothing to do with Hakuoro loving anyone as a wife, especially because by the time she was born Hakuoro was "gone" so there's no way she would know about how Hakuoro would treat the other girls.

Yes, it's very good. BGM too, and as usual it has songs from Suara.
The third game has a TON of vocal songs from her, some of them re-recordings from the original Uta game and anime.

It was ok. I liked the story but the game was just too short for me and ended abruptly. I would be pissed if I didn't know the sequel is supposed to be great.

without spoilers how long does the ending ruse go on with the supporting characters in the third game? that plot point seems like it could be really dumb in the next game

It's not even a real cliffhanger, though. The game tells you mostly everything that happened to everyone, so you aren't really worried if someone is going to survive or not.

It's more of a mystery than a cliffhanger, of who is behind all the shit.

I'm thinking back to Futari no Hakuoro, and damn was it emotionally hard at times.
Maroro in general, Nekone blaming herself hard, Oshutoru and Nekone's mother playing along and the reveal that comes with it, etc. You name it.

>>379596852
Maroro really didn't deserve that. He was such a good friend all along.
Also that part when it was revealed that the Emperor always loved Woshis as his "son" and he didn't deem him incapable of ruling, just wanted him to have a good life

>>379597498
Yeah.
Just imagine how he felt inside when he got shown the videos. We get his outside reaction, but man, how heart wrenching it must have been.
