After entering 2021, the second half of the second season of the TV version of the anime is being broadcast, and the game "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch" produced by Chime Corporation and published by Spike Chunsoft also logged on to the PS4, NS, steam multi-platform on January 28, not only fans can have a good time, interested in "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch", Students who want to enter the pit can also take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the characters and the early plot. After all, what the player experiences in the game is a completely original script, which does not have much to do with the original, so whether you plan to read a light novel or brush up on the drama after this, you don't have to worry about spoilers.
Although it is a spin-off game, the script of "Re: Another World Life from Scratch The False Candidate for the King" is not sloppy at all - supervised by the original author Tatsuhei Nagazuki, who does not eat the setting or magic changes but makes a reasonable original within the framework, even hardcore fans like me who have bought a full set of Japanese light novels and are already familiar with the direction of the plot will have a new look.
At the beginning of the game, a brief introduction to the common plot from the early stage to the mansion chapter will be introduced, and the progress is equivalent to the end of the fourth volume of the light novel and the beginning of the 12th episode of the first season of the TV anime.
The unremarkable otaku male protagonist Cai Yuepei travels to the other world after buying instant noodles at a convenience store, meets the heroine Amelia, who is looking for a badge, and is saved by her from the hands of a small. The half-elf maiden Emilia is the 42nd generation candidate for the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnica and is looking for an important badge, so Cai Yue Plei decides to accompany the girl to the slums. An inch of harem and an inch of blood, things are far from as smooth as expected, Cai Yue found that she has the ability to "return to death" in the painful struggle and continuous repetition, and after each killing, she will return to the previous scene, and the memories of other people except herself will also return to the previous moment, just like the game reading file.
After several deaths, Cai Yue helps Emilia retrieve the badge and volunteers to be a servant in Rozval's mansion to accompany Emilia. After a series of events and several deaths, he became intimate with Emilia, the maid Rem, and the librarian Beatrice, and made up his mind to embark on a journey with Emilia to participate in the king's election.
It's just that there is one more candidate for the throne, and in the argument about who is the impostor, everyone turns their suspicious eyes to Emilia, and this time, cai Yue, who calls herself "Amelia's Knight", can stand up?
"Who is the candidate for the fake throne" may be the biggest suspense for the new students, and it is quite fun to examine the words and deeds of several cute candidates for the throne with such questions. For fans as skilled as me, although this is an open-book exam with the final result already known, the game process is still novel, and Mr. Tatsuhira Nagazuki and the production team show us another possibility different from the original plot, which is also quite attractive as a foreign drama.
Divided by genre, Re: Life in Another World from Scratch False Candidate for King Election can be said to be quite a traditional AVG. Players follow Cai Yue's perspective in the game and run back and forth to solve the fake throne candidate incident. The "Return of Death" setting in the original works corresponds seamlessly to the multi-week setting in the game, so it is natural that poor Cai Yue Plein will also take the bento many times and repeat the events that have happened many times. In a cycle of time and again, different choices are made through the collected clues, and finally a satisfactory ending is reached.
For AVG, the option system is naturally the core element of interactivity, in this game, in addition to the non-important choices that will slightly affect the content of the dialogue like ordinary AVG games, there is also a very gorgeous Turning Point system, where the player needs to make decisions about the direction of the plot based on the information collected before, if the information collection is incomplete or completely uncollected, the option will be "??? "Form presentation. For players like me who like to delve into, let all the "??? "Turning it all into words is definitely one of the important motivations for repeating this game.
In addition, like other AVG games in recent years, this game has also introduced a flowchart system. Here, the various branches of the plot are going at a glance, and the completion rate of each day can also remind the player where there is an omission. However, at the first sight, I still recommend that you do not need to pursue the completion rate, just follow your own feelings, after all, the difficulty of this game is still quite friendly.
In terms of keys, it can be seen that the production team has special optimizations for the PC version, and players can complete all the operations with the keyboard. AVG's regular automatic plot, fast-forward plot, skip plot, and hidden dialog box functions can also be implemented with one click in this work, and will not be repeated here. If you can't remember the key, pressing the F1 key at any time will have a corresponding key prompt pop up, which is very convenient. In addition, the mouse can also be used as a tool to assist selection, left-click OK, right-click to cancel &hide dialogs, and the scroll wheel is used to switch between options. Everyone can freely choose their favorite operation mode, pure keyboard or keyboard and mouse collocation are OK.
In this part, the characters will appear in the cute quad head Q version, which looks exactly the same as the clay man-made by OODSMILE COMPANY, not only the protagonists and various NPCs who appear on the scene, but even passers-by look cute. However, the running chart itself is still more formulaic, basically going to a certain place to talk to someone, and following the instructions to OK.
The "MISSION" is also the mission part, and the player needs to manipulate the Q version of Cai Yue to achieve the specified mission goal within a certain number of rounds. Experience the mission is still relatively diverse, there are destroying the enemy, successfully escaping from the enemy's hands, investigating the suspicious places within the specified range, etc., but the role played by Pleiades in it is very instrumental - of course, this is more in line with his positioning in the original book, summed up is to see the flash on the map to investigate, and the companion to talk to what, although there is a restriction on moving the physical bar, but as long as the movement route is planned and the total number of rounds is still relatively easy.
In addition, there is a point to be clear, mission failure is not a terrible thing, there is no punishment except to restart the current mission, so everyone can be a little more unrestrained during the playing process, for example, I don't even bother to save before the mission starts in the later stage, anyway, there is no need. And some endings and corresponding achievements require the task to fail to achieve, so interested students may wish to try more.
The character design of "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch The False Candidate for the King" is still in charge of Shinichiro Otsuka, the game is consistent with the light novel illustration, and the appearance of the wives has not declined at all, and everyone can put a hundred hearts. Not only to pursue the original style of painting, the production team also introduced the LIVE2D system very richly, although it is a bit redundant (mistaken) to make the male characters move, but the cuteness of the female characters has really increased by dozens of percentage points after some micro-expression changes and unconscious small actions.
In terms of voice actors, there is no doubt that the original class is immediately in the lineup, Amelia of Takahashi Rei and Rem of Mizuse Kei make players feel the same sense of healing as the drama, while the male characters also have well-known voice actors such as Yusuke Kobayashi, Yuichi Nakamura, and Takehito Konoyasu, showing a deep foundation in character shaping. In addition, the voice actor lineup of the new characters in the game is also quite luxurious - Yugu Ten, Toyonaga Toshiyuki, Aya Hirano, Junsuke Takeuchi, Andei Hondo Kaede, either a long-term fame or a popular rising star, it can be said that the production team is really sincere for the player's experience.
The LIVE2D system uses the voice of well-known voice actors, and the combination of such weapons is very lethal. Everyone's favorite Mizuse prayer line Rem's wife, while shy to touch her face with her hand, softly said such a bold line as "Aung Rem", instantly making the player's blood groove return to zero, there is no resistance at all!
The addition of the original author, Tatsuhira Nagazuki, and the original painter Shinichiro Otsuka undoubtedly added an insurance to the quality of the works of "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch" and the false Candidate for Wang Xuan. This work depicts the if line of Wang Du in the plot, the positioning is more like a complementary fanwai, the length of the process is very conscientious, and the experience also maintains the same level as light novels and animated dramas.
The use of the 2DLIVE system and the passionate interpretation of various big-name voice actors make this game not only stay in the category of fans to works, but also play as a general AVG game for a wider audience. Especially if you've long had the idea of getting into the pit for Re: Life in Another World from Scratch, it's a good idea to start with this game.
