    A great start to my favorite series of all time. It is, first and foremost, a visual novel -- if you don't like reading, this isn't for you. But if you do, this is a great fantasy story with an original setting that is about found family, war, personal identity, and hubris. Between VN segments, you also control the characters in strategy RPG battles; they're fairly easy and the gameplayA great start to my favorite series of all time.

But if you do, this is a great fantasy story with an original setting that is about found family, war, personal identity, and hubris. Between VN segments, you also control the characters in strategy RPG battles; they're fairly easy and the gameplay is simple. Honestly, if you're looking for a challenging SRPG, you'll be disappointed; but on the other hand, if you're a fan of great stories and aren't experienced with SRPGs, you'll still be able to get through it with no problems.

    It's also worth keeping in mind that this is just the first game in a trilogy, and each game gets progressively more complex and builds on the previous one both in terms of story and gameplay, culminating in the final game, Mask of Truth, which is my favorite game of all time. I can't recommend this series enough.    … Expand

    A visual novel type game with some strategy and rpg elements and a narrative focusing on a male protagonist and a HAREM type story. There's some very light erotic images, and all backgrounds of the game are recycled over and over, even when going to other countries you'll have exactly the same backgrounds for most of the narrative. The game starts out fine but the narrative soon devolvesA visual novel type game with some strategy and rpg elements and a narrative focusing on a male protagonist and a HAREM type story. There's some very light erotic images, and all backgrounds of the game are recycled over and over, even when going to other countries you'll have exactly the same backgrounds for most of the narrative. The game starts out fine but the narrative soon devolves into nonsense and you the player have no control whatsoever on how the story goes making you swallow all sorts of nasty characters and events without any saying in the matter. The protagonist of the game is a really weak character, it feels like the MC of a porn harem game mixed with a virgin at 40 type of character.… Expand

    An interesting tactical RPG that brings us the origins from this series' story and completes it with a variety of characters with high charisma in a mix of visual novel sequences and fighting scenarios.

    And hey, how many other games will give you a chance to command a tiny fluffy-eared girl riding a gigantic tiger that thinks it’s a housecat? Not enough, I tell you.

    Yet again Utawarerumono remains a solid, but still very unspectacular mixture of visual novel and tactics roleplaying game.
