Weakest writing out of all winterwolves games so far, and that includes really old titles like Spirited Heart (which is a gem compared to this game). It's naive, amateurish at best (think really simple fanfiction), and not even properly proofread. The characters (especially the romanceables, but everyone else is no better) are all extremely cliche and have little to no important backstory (or feelings, for that matter), no one ever interacts with anyone else, so you can romance everyone at the same time and none of that will register with anyone. The main characters are dry and don't feel or treat one another like family. The combat, while tolerable, gets really repetitive thanks to the grindy aspect, and there's no real benefit in making your characters have diverse skills and a lot of power, because in the end the skills are similarly useless and the "pre-final" boss battle is simply scripted so that you'll always lose. Do yourself a favor and try the demo at the developer's main sit...

About This Game
One day, their father Lysander calls them to Ahkra. He has big news: their mother, and his wife, could still be alive! At least, that's what a mysterious figure is telling him. They seem to be the only one who knows what's really going on, and they’re willing to help the sisters, for a price.
They'll need to follow in their mother's footsteps, robbing from the rich to meet the increasingly outrageous demands of their mysterious benefactor.
At the same time, they'll meet new people, who might become more than friends:
- Tiberius, the guard captain.
- Fredrick, the owner of the biggest shop in the town.
- Melvin, a man full of mystery.
- Mary-Ann, the town's blacksmith.
- Moirgane, a waitress at the biggest tavern in town.
- Therjalla, a travelling scholar working as a healer in the local temple.
The game features simplified RPG combat and gameplay, beautiful manga artwork and an original soundtrack with a theme song.

Hastly written and naive script, no cross romance interactions, poorly thought out combat, boring and repetative robbery missions. Feels like a cash grab, hardly comparable with previous products from this developer.
I love this game, probably my second favorite from winter wolves. I do however feel the price could be less. The combat is less in depth than say loren or seasons, and theres certainly much less story. Even the main robbing portions of the game i had repeat lines far too often. Dont get me wrong, i greatly enjoyed the game and dont mind purchasing it, but i do question the price compartievley to those other titles. Granted the art is much better or atleast more enjoyable in this game and i enjoy the characterrs more, but i still feel it was rather sllow for the price. Id recomend picking it up on sale if i were you.
I was looking forward to playing an LGBTQ game centered around women! And within the first 15 minutes of playing they indeed deliver! Playing as 3 sisters, you encounter a woman (Moirgane) in the pub who starts to flirt with one of our main characters... ...but then our character remarks: "Moirgane had what some would call 'child-bearing hips'." and then another said "I didn't say she looked bad... Just I think she enjoys her food." ...Really? Wow. I NOPED right out of this terrible writing. I'm glad it was apparent right away to get a refund back. So cringe-worthy. Oh, I took the liberty of going through the credits... No female writer on board, let alone on the main team. If Winter Wolves is going to make a game about women, maybe having a woman's perspective on the team might be helpful? Like how women judging women on their weight might seem tacky and juvenile? Yep. Very disappointing dialogue. Also, just fyi, all those women had exactly the same build. Even the one with "hip...
Now let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of this genre (visual novel w/ RPG elements) and of the developer, Winter Wolves. However, I cannot recommend anyone this game unless it is on sale. It seems that as the developer starts chugging out more games per year, the quality of them keeps dropping. None of his latter installments can stand up to the original Loren The Amazon Princess. Pros: _Artwork (decent; not as good as previous games) _Good soundtrack _Diverse and distinctive characters. Cons: _The writing is so bad. It's bland at best, atrocious at worst. _The plot makes little sense, while the ending is very rushed. _The gameplay is repititive; even more so than the one of Amber's Magic Shop, a crafting game with no combat system, and that says something.
The interface is confusing, but it's a good game once you figure it out. Important notes: You can select the type of heist (from the start) by pressing on the things that don't look like buttons at all, this lets you take more challenging missions and level up faster. The weapon comparisons are a little hard to read, but all the weapons are basically equal so it's just up to your fighting style. Another non-obvious thing is that you can remove gems from clothes. And finally the story is a bit "much" with everyone wanting to do "it" with everyone else at the drop of a hat, but if you can get over that, it's quite fun.
so 3 hours in and i have to say i'm finding this game fun if simple my one issue is that it's a pain in the ass to level beyond that the romance can be turned off or you can have it set to one type of pairing (yuri/straight).
Not so much a fan of the rpg part of the game. The main story always recommends a certain level (5-10-15-20-25) And by the time I hit 20 I was really bored with it, and then of course it turns out you still need to grind to lvl 25. At that point I just quit, and started a new playthrough in "visual novel" difficulty. You only get to choose between 5 weapons for each character, and 5 armor sets (including the one you start with). So after you get one of those, literally nothing changes for combat anymore. Story-wise I was just disappointed that there was no comment when going for all 4 romance options for 1 girl. And likewise if 2 girls were courting the same partner...nothing.
Very enjoyable indy game, took approx. 15 hours on easy mode (there's a visual novel mode for those who just want story, and harder mode for those looking for challenge), lots of different skills to unlock for each girl, vanity gear to equip, found the yuri relationships charming, plus replay value as multiple romance options with both lesbian and straight to unlock. Ending hints towards a sequal or spin off, I would love if this were the case. UPDATE: Having now played Loren: Amazon Princess, made by the same company and set in the same world, I understand why a number of other reviews have rather harshly compared the two. WORLD SCALE Loren was intended as this massive epic where you venture across an entire continent, fight dozens of different enemy types, and recruit a sizable party during your adventure (13 characters I think it was). Queen of Thieves (QoT) is a lot smaller scale, never leaving town - so rather than swamps, mountains, demon hellscapes, forests, and deserts tha...
I constantly see a lot of people trying to compare this game to Loren the Amazon Princess- to be honest, I don't think that's really a very fair time. I mean, I'm having trouble comparing it to anything else they put out. Long story short: A father calls his three daughters back to town from thier jobs from all over Aravorn, and hits them with surprising news: thier mother, who they thought to have been long dead, could still be alive. But the only way for them to figure out is to break into houses and get the money needed for the next piece of the puzzle, offered forth by a random hooded figure. To be quite honest... it's not the best work from Winter Wolves, and I've got hours into things like Loren, Roommates, and Amber's Magic Shop to back that up. There's not much meat on this particular bone story-wise; and to be honest? Some of the goals you'll need to hit are kind of, well... they'll make you frustrated in a hurry once you've seen every relationship cutscene in the curre...
