Another creative landing
Not long after landing on NS, Qureate brought their latest title, Sentimental Death Reincarnation, to Steam. This time it was still a continuation of their entire life (?) Once again, the beautiful girl setting is combined with a variety of bizarre game genres. Of course, the genre of this work is quite normal, that is, the traditional puzzle class, which is essentially the same as the previous well-received "Detective Live". It's just that some innovations have been made in the technique and the mechanism of death reincarnation has been introduced, which is still quite attractive from a conceptual point of view.
In actual experience, there are no problems in the puzzle solving part, which is quite good, allowing people to enjoy the feeling of racking their brains a little, but in fact, it is more partial to a book and will not be too much, and puzzle solving enthusiasts are quite happy. However, when it comes to the specific game mechanics and the way the PC version operates, there are still some problems, so it is quite irritable when playing, and you need to give more patience.
Fine art is still very top-notch
Although I dare not say on other tracks, on the GALGAME track, the artistic performance of Qureate is still the top batch. Of course, there is no accident in this "Sentimental Death Reincarnation", and it performs better in this dimension - the character of this work is みず teacher, although this teacher is not famous, well, when I pushed it to search, I also found that someone was asking who this is, and the main duplicate names are too many and difficult to examine.
But in terms of actual performance, the teacher still did the job very well, and the painting style was a bit like Mr. Komatsuzaki and Mr. SMDRR in "Danganronp", especially when the characters laughed, it felt exactly the same, as if something unfortunate was about to happen in the next second (?). ), it is indeed suitable for use here. As for the main picture, it uses pixel style, whether it is various interactive small elements in the indoor scene, or pixelated normal proportion characters or something, it has a good sense of sophistication, which I personally like as an avid pixel enthusiast.
The plot of a sick outbreak
The beginning of the story of "Sentimental Death Reincarnation" is very normal, four beautiful girl college students Chaoyang Naiai, Yuedai Yin Dream, Fire Mouth Mingyin, Shushui Liangfeng, on the surface love each day spent every day, but in fact there may be N groups between 4 people, well, who is closer to each other, who is secretly jealous of whom is also a normal thing. This day happened to be Yin Meng's birthday, our heroine Nai Ai brought gifts to her house to participate in the party, but I didn't expect ah didn't expect the plot to take a sharp turn, Yin Meng suddenly broke out of sick attributes, saying what betrayal and injury and other half-intelligible words, and then a spurt sent people back to the west.
However, after the return of love to the west, the game can be regarded as the real beginning, how come it goes back to when he first entered the door, how Yin Meng repeats the same words again, well, it really dies a lot to have experience (?) ）。 Nai Ai did not lose her memory in this process, so her choice was not to run away but to investigate what the situation was in reincarnation after reincarnation, and the suspense was still very attractive.
The gameplay is quite problematic
As we said, although the game can be said to be OK creatively, it still lacks a lot in terms of implementation details, making the overall experience of the game not good. The core problem is the repetition after death, well, love to start from scratch over and over again, and the text is generally consistent. And the puzzle props have no obvious signs, so they have to make the whole room search again every time, and it is easy to get bored. In the end, even with no good feelings for Nai Ai, although she is a beautiful girl, but the decision is really unreasonable, normal people will not be killed over and over again for sick friends, what a twisted love.
Setting aside, but I think the text part or the overall game rhythm, maybe the production team should control it better, after all, no one likes mechanical repetition. And the notes, which should have been highlights, are also a bit inadequate, lacking the necessary guidance to let players understand when to "read the file" and the like. In addition, the PC version of the operation is also a bit problematic, moving something is fine, but some places where multiple items are together, it is difficult to align specific items, I think it is much better to switch to the experience of switching.
Think about it before you start
"Sentimental Death Reincarnation" is a work with obvious advantages and disadvantages, coupled with the niche nature of the pixel puzzle theme here, and the debuff operation of the PC version, making its audience really very limited. As I always say, you can think of this kind of work as a cult film, to put it bluntly, only for a specific group of people, you must be on the airwaves. I myself was still looking forward to this game before, and although the actual experience was a little far from expectations, it was not very big, and the playability was still passable.
There was also an extra motivation that drove me to play, on the one hand, because the art is there, especially the love of pixels, and on the other hand, there is a strong interest in puzzle solving, and I especially enjoy the feeling of wits with the production team. However, this cannot be regarded as a universal situation. If you are an ordinary player, you may have to carefully consider whether you can accept such a design, whether you have enough enthusiasm to go all the way, save it from buying and regretting it.
Overall rating: 7/10
