Dec 12, 2024VED is a very ambitious title. It takes a lot of hand-drawn intricacies and combines them with strong, thought-provoking character building and interesting storytelling. The first playthrough is rather quick at around six hours and subsequent ones finding new information are even quicker. The lower caliber of its voice acting and lack of depth to combat prevent it from becoming a full indie darling, but seeing how industrial and magical ideologies mix with the lawful and chaotic mindset in a fun fantasy world is consistently exciting. The game will do well with those who appreciate its visual novel tendencies, and the gameplay holds up well enough overall to encourage others to explore the mysteries of Micropolis.

Nov 25, 2024VED is a surprising effort. I've not been hugely won over by it but there's ideas here that show a solid level of execution. I think the narrative tends to rush and the combat is kept on relatively simple terms. The hand-drawn visuals are incredibly polished, although I find Cyrus as a character to be a little one-dimensional. I do appreciate how the story can branch and diverge, although the pacing does impede some aspects from really building.

Nov 18, 2024VED delivers beautiful visuals. Despite the functional combat, the narrative is exceptionally confusing and bad. And, with that, it manages to make the title not reach its potential.
