Sword Princess Amaltea - The Visual Novel

Well that was..sadly not that good. Pretty expensive for so little, i would not recommend this.

Excellent visual novel that goes beyond the usual dating sim trope and introduces a narrative gameplay loop instead. Fully voice acted which I find very enjoyable as it made me feel more connected with the story. The art is great as well as the story. Lot's of twists and turns which leads to several "Oh noes!" moments. With an average playtime of a bit more than an hour I felt it was a very nice amount of time for one playthrough. And with several different endings I can see myself doing another playthrough during a lunch break. Highly recommended!

It's a visual novel set in your typical fairytale medieval setting... but with the gender roles flipped. Women are the ones fighting and leading, while men stay at home (not always obediently, of course). Great for some light reading, and the voice acting is a nice bonus. The art style is a mix of shoujo and shounen. You can explore different paths of the story by playing as Amaltea or Ossian*. They're fairly likeable characters, and though Amaltea can be a little grating at times, she's got her moments. I appreciate the VN's efforts to be more diverse than other worlds like it. It's a little short for its price, so I recommend buying it when it's on sale. But if you enjoyed it, I recommend buying the comics too (and reading Egalia's Daughters). Would love to see a continuation of the story whether in comic or VN form. *or Amaltea's horse. [spoiler]You will meet a sad unicorn.[/spoiler]
