Astral Ascension

you think by now i finally understand what pixelfade likes do with their visual novels. and while yes i did i was also hoping for the big reason why this visual novel was push back i thought for sure they were going to tell an interesting story of mercenaries going off on different task with two major factions of interplanetary Union and Federation of Polaris both the good and bad and slowly discovery the reason why the main character was fired was because we undiscovered a tactical espionage that would cause a war between the two factions or at very least would cause one to gain more power over the other. along with a crew that are both sides that have their own view point of each factions but also hide their own secrets as well right? right!? i wish it did that because it was right there. in fact that problem with this novel if you like pixelfade previous work you will be fine with this one. another low stakes adventure with a romance at the end that hits every single trope and clich...

Tons of fun, great writing, a lot of reactivity to past choices, which is fun, and even full English VO, which is definitely a rarity for VOs!

I absolutely loved this game, Thank you for everything Pixel Fade :(.

Another very good game by PixelFade

I would give this one a mixed rating if I could. I'll make this one a positive; I'd say the good is a bit better than the bad. This is made by PixelFade, so the VN is focused on the characters and the visuals. Those are good. Worldbuilding and the main plot are bad. The VN is all about slice of life. Yes, there are some action scenes, but let's be real here: The action is slice of life disguised as action. Making the slice of life as good as possible is clearly where the budget went. That's why there's decent VA, lots of CG, and Live2D sprites. The worldbuilding and main plot are poor. The people outside the main cast are mere footnotes. The main plot is about figuring out whoever got you fired from your last job...which honestly isn't a good hook. Why should I care about my old job when I'm doing just fine in my new one? There are also small independent story arcs which I suppose consist of each episode. I guess that part is okay if you like your story told as an anthology. So I'm...

Played through the game to its full all the possible scenarios and I think I highly recommend this game solid 8/10. The only thing I was left unsatisfied and really didn’t enjoy was Luna’s alternative ending. It felt to unfinished and not that satisfying as an ending. With all the other routes you have a wrapped happy ending and things in the past was resolved but not this route. I really wish we saw the end and we saw how that story wrapped up vs a cliff hanger as we got.
