    In an intriguing mix of different gameplay mechanics, that entwines visual novels and shoot'em up, Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is a pretty unique experience, that captivates you with its story and makes you stay with its ability to keep things interesting and engaging.

    A good mix of investigative visual novel and shoot 'em up, with a captivating story able to capture until the very end.

    Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is a strange mix of genres like graphic novel and shoot 'em up. Both genders do their job. The game has a lot of dialogue but leaving that aside we will have a few hours of very interesting gameplay.

The game is far too short (roughly 12 to 14 hours which is very little for a visual novel) to fully flesh out the potential with its characters and story.

    The game’s attempt at covering multiple genres (visual novel, puzzle game, detective mystery, and bullet hell shooter) only ends up making each section feel mediocre and half-baked.

    I really wanted to like this game more than I did, but unfortunately this is a title I’d recommend waiting a sale for.    … Full Review »
