Azure Wing: Rising Gale

The description is false - there is no romance routes at all, and a lot of the screenshots do not exist in the game at all. While the stories' premise is extremely interesting, Rising Gale is extremely short. I finished it in 2 hours (Although I'm a fairly fast reader). The characters are interesting and the art is good, and it teases a very interesting story, but ultimately nothing happens and it just abruptly ends. Pretty much nothing important to the plot happens at all. Rising Gale might make for a decent first chapter to introduce characters, but as a full story it fails spectacularly. It doesn't even follow the basic structure of a story: intro-climax-conclusion. There was no climax at all, nothing even close, before the story suddenly ended on a terrible cliffhanger. I don't want to spoil anything, but it was a complete genre shift of a cliffhanger as well that came out of nowhere. The UI is pretty terrible (Again, it's not what is displayed in the screenshots), taking up ha...

First of all, this is the first Steam review I've ever written, mostly because this is the first time I really felt what I bought was not what I expected. Make no mistake though, I really, really enjoyed my playthrough of Azure Wing: Rising Gale. It has an amazing artwork, a likeable cast and the story is really promising, however, there is a few things that I think need to be discussed about, and I'm writting them below. -SPOILERS AHEAD- Okay, so the big, big problem with Azure Wing: Rising Gale is how it is presented to you vs the content really inside the VN. You are presented with a diverse cast of female characters fullfilling different archetypes, right, that's the standard, there's even some fake screenshots in the Steam Page suggesting existing romance routes, HOWEVER! there are: 1. No romance routes 2. NOT A TRUE ENDING!!! Azure Wing: Rising Gale by itself IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT! THE ONLY, AND I REPEAT, THE ONLY ENDING THERE IS IN THIS VISUAL NOVEL is not a conclusive en...

Edited After Update: I just want to point out that this is obviously the start of an ongoing story. The update was awesome and I understand know why it was the way it was but I am very happy that added to it to give a better understanding. I know I put a thumbs down on this but really with all the great art and now the story is even better. With it being an ongoing story I would say it is a good buy. Yes it is kind of short but I am hoping that the next installment will make up for it. So enjoy and I hope this update was great for everything. It really was awesome and I would like to Thank the developers for giving a little more on this and giving us all a little more on this title to allow for a better understanding. So with that Thanks Very Much I can not wait for the next one. Well I have no Idea what to say to this besides the fact that I am so disappointed. Now do not get me wrong as this game has very awesome looking art work and the story is awesome but at points th...

Game needs a not complete, or still being worked on tag. I don't mind buying into early access, or beta work, but I want to know what I'm buying. The art and story is good. Not a fan of VN's but that's on me for not checking the game out further before I bought it. I still might have bought it knowing that it is a work in progress, but that is neither here, nor there. As it is not, I do not recommend this game until more work has been done on it. The game as is, feels more like a prologue rather then a completed game.

This VN is incomplete. They should've mark it as Early Access if they planned to finish it later.

A very bad VN, this his not how you structure stories in VN

I thought the story was really good and i look forward to Azure Wing:Gathering Storm

This game was not what I expected to say the least. But I believe it was also very good. The writing was cliche at times, But the writers used it as comic relief. And over all I loved the story. A major point to be brought up though was throughout the whole game so far, there were only three times you could make a choice. But that was not so bad to be honest, I loved reading the story. I was sad where it stopped though, I hope something is added to expand to the story, But it is a GREAT idea. The fight scenes were mostly text and sometimes a bit hard to follow truthfully. But most of the story had me hooked, I just wish there was more to it. Truthfully I loved the story and it was a wonderful read. If it was a published light novel I would happily buy it the day it came out. Whoever created the concept for this has made a nice background for a ever growing world. This to me is a must read/play, but the end at the point of this review (22/05/2019) is such a cliffhanger, it is almost li...

Final Update: While I'm going to keep my previous impressions on the story and how the launch was I feel like I can finally recommend it. I really enjoyed the story and if I'm being honest it has a lot of things I like (women in armor and angel women in armor are my thing, don't @me). This story wasn't initially what I expected because I was kinda looking forward to branching romances and such. But it was clarified that that wasn't the intent. So final verdict for me is that with the patch that added more to the story it is worth what I paid. I'll also be looking forward to the next installments for the game too. I think the dev('s) just had some growing pains/issues which they are trying to fix as best they can. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: They are working on an update that will extend the game. No time frame was given yet. Glad to see that being addressed, and if they've been looking at the steam reviews puttin...

Personally, I really like the story and the world building in this Visual Novel. Early on, it can be hard to understand, but everything start making sense as you read through and, by the end, it makes for a nice story in a complex world. Art and music is great, though the main menu UI looks "odd" compared to the rest of the VN's UI. Would love to see the story continue.
