The first console game of the stage-themed multi-media franchise "Revue Starlight" is on its way!
Players can choose from four distinct routes, each following a different interpretation of the "El Dorado" play. The game's branching narrative structure allows players to experience the story from multiple perspectives, observing how the characters' relationships and motivations evolve based on the choices made. Developers designed the routes to be played in a specific order, with the final route unlocking after completing the first three.
At its core, the visual novel format enables an engaging and emotional narrative. The game excels at providing a deep dive into the characters, their aspirations, and the challenges they face as they prepare for the "El Dorado" performance. Players fully immerse themselves in the characters' journeys, gaining a better understanding of their personalities, relationships, and inner thoughts through the game's rich dialogue and well-written script.
Reviewers consistently praise the game's soundtrack as a standout feature. The new original songs composed for the "El Dorado" play, as well as the inclusion of beloved tracks from the Revue Starlight franchise, contribute to the game's theatrical and emotional atmosphere. High-quality voice acting further enhances the narrative experience, with the seiyuu delivering impactful performances that bring the characters to life.
The developers have implemented several accessibility features to enhance the player experience. These include volume controls for various audio elements, an auto-play mode, and a backlog function that allows players to easily review previous dialogue. These features enable players to focus on the story and immerse themselves in the narrative without being hindered by technical distractions.
After completing the main story, players can explore additional content, including a free play mode that allows them to revisit and experience the "El Dorado" play from different perspectives. Additionally, the game's relatively short playtime (around 16 hours for the full narrative) encourages multiple playthroughs, as players can discover new nuances and explore alternative choices in each route.
