    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim may have its flaws, but it is also a one-of-a-kind experience -- far better than the sum of its parts.

Vanillaware's best effort by a mile, 13 Sentinels is an incredibly unique and ambitious game that's separated between two very different gameplay experiences -- a story-driven visual novel, and a real-time strategy RPG -- and while combat is serviceable enough, the former works better than the latter, as 13 Sentinels' story is really what holds everything together.

    Despite a few too many instances of cringy teenage romance drama here and there, 13 Sentinels boasts one of the most finely crafted high-brow science fiction narratives you'll likely ever encounter in a video game. Smart, weighty, extremely dense, and completely engrossing, 13 Sentinels' story and characters will stick with you long after completion; even if its 40-hour playtime may go on for a bit longer than is necessary.    … Expand

    An absolute masterpiece in storytelling, it's incredibly satisfying how the 13 characters stories intertwine as you gradually learn more and more about the world and events. The story can be a bit confusing at first, but as you progress, every piece falls into place.

    The combat mode is surprisingly fun as well.

    13 SENTINELS: AEGIS RIM has one of the most unexpected yet brilliant narratives in both visual novels and strategy games. Despite the lack of impression in the combat part, I would still recommend it to any gamer who has a predilection on storytelling.

    13 Sentinels is one of the best hidden gems that you have never heard of. Made by Vanillaware and published by Atlus, the game is a hybrid between a visual novel and a light strategy game, each part feeding into the progression of the other one.

    When it comes to visual novels, they live and die by their story. So how is the story of this game? Masterful. Perfectly paced, as you have to meet certain thresholds in both the story and combat to progress most of the characters' segmented storylines. Steady and unrelenting drip feeding of information allows you to come to your own conclusions, sometimes letting you click a couple of things together in your head just seconds before it confirms them. Absolute perfection.

    I also believe that the order you play this game in lets you figure out different things at different times, so I might have figured out plotline A ten hours in and plotline B thirteen hours in while plotline C, D and etc. had to have been spelt out for me. While you play the game, you might understand C then B and never get A until the game beats you over the head with it. Perfection.

    The strategic part, called Destruction, has you fighting the enemy forces on an abstracted map of a city, where you use a team of six sentinels to plough through horde after horde of enemies. Each mission has a unique set of objectives that reward you with exp and additional information. The sentinels themselves are divided into four classes, allowing for different loadouts and combos to be thrown at the hordes of enemies.

    The last thing I will mention is the Analysis section of the game. I have never seen a more fantastic glossary for a game in my life. The Analysis serves as a sort of timeline for you to put context to the non-linear storytelling the game engages in, allowing you to look through many of these to understand the correct sequence of events. Just brilliant.

    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a game that everybody should play at some point, because between the story, the art, the combat and the interesting mystery, this game is that one hidden gem that is missing from your library.    … Expand

The real time tactics gameplay was okay, it never really sat right with me as the two gameplay styles felt very disjointed from one another. One being very low stakes story based, and the other being a very high one with drastically different art styles is a little weird to me. I always got the mech fights out of the way as soon as possible as they weren’t nearly as enjoyable as the story itself. The graphics during the story portion was absolutely lovely, like a nice painterly and anime mix. The story plays on the obvious anime troupes really well and it’s done very purposefully. If you love a good story and don’t mind real time tactics to get to the end, it’s worth your time.… Expand

    This game is primarily a visual novel game with a complex story. That means you actually have to pay attention to the story, think and speculate to enjoy it best. If you don't like that or hate anything that's slower paced, visual novel, anime or any nudity, this game is not for you.

    This is truly a masterpiece in the sci-fi genre. A beautifully crafted game with gorgeous art and music, which is brought to life by its immersive story and cast of characters.
    This game truly blows you away, the number of twists and turns and questions to be asked and answered in this game's narrative is truly mind-boggling, and yet somehow it all makes perfect sense in the end.
    Play this game.

    The game is split into a real time tower defense combat mode, and a visual novel mode. While the combat mode is good, the main appeal defiantly comes from the vn mode. In the vn mode you go through the events that happened to the 13 main characters leading up to the final battle.
    What makes the game so incredible is how the story is told. As you experience each characters story, you'll get twist after twist after twist. At first nothing makes any sense, but as you get further and further everything starts connecting. I didn't have everything 100% figured out until the ending. You can also play through the stories in almost any order, so your experience with the game won't be the same as someone else.

It’s misleading to call it a visual novel because you play through the story instead of just clicking through text.

    The graphics are really pretty, and there are a lot of different locations. The gameplay in the story sections involves talking to people, a little interacting with things, and presenting topics to people. It’s very streamlined so you don’t waste time trying out every option like in adventure games. It’ll highlight any option that you need to use, and give you an onscreen indicator that you have a topic you need to present to someone.

    The story involves time travel, high school, conspiracy theories, a cat, mech battles, gangs…I mean, it’s a fun story that touches on a lot of topics and genres. You play through short episodes that continue each character's story, and after the prologue you choose what character's story to play next.

    The tower defense sections are cool and I’m not usually a huge tower defense fan. They’re pretty easy on normal difficulty, and I enjoyed using the different abilities. Like, some characters control mechs that are for close-range damage, so you can make them jump in the air and do AOE damage. If you don’t enjoy it, you can set the difficulty on easy and just rush through it.

    I looked at screenshots and didn’t get why I kept hearing rave reviews of “This game deserves to be way more popular,” but I bought it and agree. The story is enjoyable to follow and slowly understand, and it’s presented in a way that feels like you’re playing through a season of a cool show. It’s a special game that just has that game magic you can’t explain.    … Expand

    13 Sentinels was a bit tough to get into, but the more I played, the more I enjoyed. This is an incredibly deep game in terms of story and will require quite a bit of investment from the player.

This is an incredibly deep game in terms of story and will require quite a bit of investment from the player.

    The first thing you should be warned of is that this 'game' is split into three sections, with only one of them being actual gameplay, similar to a turn-based RPG. The second is a visual novel where you control a series of protagonists to develop the story. The third section is then a library of sorts, with mystery files you unlock to learn more of the lore. This means a brief glimpse could give you a very misleading perception of 13 Sentinels.

    The story of the game is the bread and butter, so let's review that first. I found that the story took quite a few hours to become engrossed in. In the opening hours having 13 characters quickly introduced made for a lot of confusion and difficulty in making the narrative coherent for me.

    However, the mystery of what is happening throughout the game kept me interested enough to become invested in each of the characters. There were only a handful of times where I had to seek online help to find my way through. I won't say too much more for fear of spoilers, but 13 Sentinels is a very exceptional if complex story similar to films like The Matrix or Cloud Atlas.

    The one thing I was left wondering was if so many characters really were necessary. By the end of the game I still didn't feel like I had a 100% understanding of the story, but I much prefer this than to an incredibly cliche story or a minimal approach, which is the unfortunate approach taken by many mainstream games currently.

    The gameplay is very accessible and a tad simplistic, however in a game with such a complex story this is to be commended. In the story sections of the game you are mostly navigating screens similar to point-and-click adventures. You will be doing a serious amount of reading and listening, so I hope that is your cup of tea. With the turn-based battling, this was very enjoyable to me and provided a welcome break from the heavy storytelling, however small cut-scenes were common before and after battles too but this was welcome since battles also get repetitive.

    What I really enjoyed in the gameplay was that the difficulty cold be varied without punishment, allowing faster and smoother progress through the game. Your attacks include the proverbial melee and range attacks with some summoning and passive skills. These and attributes can be upgraded which makes for a compelling experience as I could tangibly feel the benefits of upgrades.

    The graphics of 13 Sentinels hinge on the story sections, where you can view your protagonist exploring the world and interacting with others. Whilst they weren't exactly pushing the console to its limits, I found the anime style very befitting, literally like an animated graphic novel. The graphics in battles is very 'digital', as every object is represented in pixelated sprites, however this simplicity works really well, I think. But the various environments the story takes you to helps make up for the repetition in the battle mode.

    Overall, 13 Sentinels was an amazing game for me, so amazing that it sapped 40 hours of my life to get my second-ever Platinum Trophy. This is something else to be commended as most Platinums are just protracted and tedious attempts to extend a game's length, but with 13 Sentinels I had most acquired playing the game normally, which enticed me to add a few extra hours to get the Platinum. This is one of the best games I have played in a long time and I can't see myself ever forgetting the experience, although it will definitely be hard to recall the finer points of the story.    … Expand

    This game is essentially a visual novel with some RTS gameplay elements. The RTS elements serve to change up your flow but you would not play this game for the RTS parts.

If a visual novel with an absurdly deep, complicated, and interwoven story is what you are interested in then this is the game for you.

    There are 13 characters who's stories you will play through. The storytelling can be incredibly hard to keep track of because of the sheer number of characters but also the time jumping and flashbacking. Making sense of the sequence of events, especially as they cross over with over characters is a pain. However after the prologue (about 4 hours into the game) you get access to an “analysis” menu. Here you can review all story elements that you have uncovered in tabs divided by character, chronology and objects. You can also replay scenes from this menu if you want. This will help a lot.

    Now you may be wondering, does the story payoff? Or is this a Game of Thrones kinda situation. The story absolutely pays off. It is reminiscent of some other sci-fi franchises, which I can not name because that would be too spoilery. If that doesn't bother you AND you are willing to get fully invested into the story then I highly recommend giving this game a shot.    … Expand
