Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception is definitely a game that’ll appeal more to fans of visual novels as opposed to SRPGs. The strategy sections are a nice break from the game’s mountains of dialog but they’re not too memorable outside of being a short break from the bulk of what you’ll be doing early on. The game is pretty long and does drag at the beginning, but fans of the visual novel genre should find a lot of what they’re looking for.

If you’re OK with powering through some really slow progression story wise just for some great character development in the opening, the entirety of Mask of Deception and its characters will be worth experiencing. There are a lot of genuinely funny moments here. I quite liked the battle sections thrown into the mix when I didn’t really expect them. Given that this game is the build up to Mask of Truth that concludes the tale, I want Mask of Truth right now.

Aquaplus ha creado una obra bastante curiosa, que nos ofrece un guion muy japonés lleno de monstruos, bellas jovencitas y un número de problemas que van incrementándose en cantidad y complejidad a medida que se desarrolla la historia.
