What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The ending is particularly impactful and can change how you view many of the interactions between the characters, especially if you decide to play through the New Game+.
Utawarerumono is a fantastic "kinetic" Visual Novel (Theres no choices, its just a purely linear story) with a pretty basic but still solid and fun SRPG gameplay element.
My expectation was that the 3D section (which is to say, the combat and some specific parts of the story) would be choppy but this isn't the case at all.
Any time there's a powerful and emotional scene, you can count on there being a matching soundtrack that enhances the experience.
The textures are detailed, but the polygon count of character models definitely shows its PlayStation 2 era roots.
Typical SRPG with great story line, music and character design. 1 week all achievements.
