Sep 28, 2023Shuyan Saga disappoints as a visual novel. Whilst the panels are sharp and detailed, the decision points lack any bearing on the overall narrative. Combat has a depth to it but progression feels rigid and and strikes can feel clumsy. The jarring nature of switching between story and fighting sections can feel unsettling but it's not entirely without positives. The voice acting is appropriately hammy and the clearly defined structure makes for a swiftly-paced story. Unfortunately, it's all just too forgettable.
