Renegade Samurai, a little HY that I was looking forward to in 2022, the promotional words at that time were also dragged: blockbuster, high openness, and hundreds of CGs and more than double-digit female characters with H events.
At that time, when there were only raw meat resources, many friends who went to gnaw raw meat to play gave super praise, and this time on sale, good guys, 8.38 G capacity, more than a hundred H events, enough double-digit female characters are equipped with voice actors with sound throughout the process, this time is really full.
Although I personally feel satisfied with playing, behind this incomparably full amount, it also exposes the overwhelming lack of experience of the dog barking club as a fandom club for big-budget games, and the lack of control of many details also makes this work finally limited to its own comfort zone (low-price area HY), which is more emotional.
Before starting, I would like to thank Kagura Games for its great efforts in localizing "Renegade Samurai": Kagura Games not only made a very detailed localization of the original 100,000 words of text, but also removed the mosaic in the places we all liked to see, so that the original fleshy style of the dog barking club was already colored to explode and added astringency, very good, thank you, Kagura Games.
So next, let's talk about this super masterpiece of the dog barking club.
Let's talk about the advantages first, "Renegade Samurai" is a Japanese turn-based RPG, after changing the engine, the dog barking club has been upgraded in many ways to make the game quality look better.
First of all, is the innovation in combat, L2D character standing painting and animation when releasing combat skills are all added after changing the engine, in addition, the characters are more astringent attacks during the battle are more far and three-dimensional, text, values, enlarged standing painting surface three-pronged, so that the astringent combat of this work is really top, and the uncensored localization of Kagura games has made astringency reach a new peak, and there is only one word to play: good rush!
Then there's the progress in the plot. As I said before, the game habits of the dog barking club determine the development of the plot according to whether the player "pure clearance" or not, although I personally have a good mouthful, but I also have to admit that this judgment method and mechanism is too simple and rude, only one line is okay, if you use the old engine to run the multi-character group drama of this work, it is really impossible to run.
Therefore, the new engine also introduces new mechanisms, and the side story playback function like a mobile game (that is, option anecdotes) greatly improves the world view and main story of this work, and also allows us to more intuitively understand the motivation of the characters' behavior and their thoughts, and even see a lot of IF stories, not only heart-warming stories, but also more astringent bridges, good, very good!
In the end, I was shocked by this, there are more than 500 CGs, these more than 500 CGs are not water data that includes the difference in expressions and movements, but a solid HD full-color CG that is different for each one, and the game itself also comes with an option to unlock all CG at the beginning.
You don't play even after buying, directly against the full CG, these more than 500 CG and hundreds of H events with dubbing can directly make you rush for two hours, although it's not good to say this, but "Renegade Samurai" is definitely the largest amount of HY you can buy at this price, just for this CG quality and full dubbing, it is definitely worth the money.
After talking about the pros, I'm going to start talking about the cons.
First of all, all the shortcomings of this game are covered up under its hundreds of CG and hundreds of full dubbing events, and many of the shortcomings of this game are actually a bit biased towards "using the standards of mature butter clubs" to ask for a fan club, so you should have a good time.
First of all, there is the problem of its movable maps, as a main female character evil HY, there are too few areas where it can be active, and there are only a few maps by the end of the game, and there are not many options that can be astringent.
In addition, the playability of the characters is completely different: although the design of abandoning the heroine's single perspective and adopting a group drama is very novel, the production team has not yet found a way to balance the number of multi-character CGs.
The first heroine of this work, Wuhei, has a very terrifying number of events and astringent gameplay, and even the plot and passivity are very many. But when it comes to the other two characters, Tsubaki and Huang Nanako, there are not so many options, and even the things that can be done are fixed in the frame, which is hard not to feel a pity.
Then, there's the plot problem.
First of all, I agree + appreciate the dog barking society's willingness to write a separate plot for players who "pure clearance", and the plot we can enjoy in the "pure clearance" route of this work is also very bloody, if nothing else, the orthodox plot of this work should be able to give people an ordinary touch.
However, no, this work does a very bad job in controlling the rhythm of the plot, and the various bridges in the final chapter, such as the internal battle of the ghost lamp group, the battle between the white night and the ghost lamp, and the plot bridge of the final boss battle are really a pity, and these plots that should have appeared as the end of a certain chapter were all thrown into the final chapter.
This gives the audience the impression that at first the blood is boiling, then numbness, and finally aesthetic fatigue, boredom and even irritability.
For me, although I can't say that I like its royal and wind plot, I also think that the plot is quite qualified as a HY, but the collective broadcast and almost the same direction of this large collection make people inevitably look down after watching it.
Finally, there is the musical aspect of the game.
If I want to say, the BGM of this work is a real disaster, the battle BGM is very noisy, and several vocal songs can't match the plot and CG style, when the men draw knives and cut each other, the BGM and vocal songs played are songs that can't stand up to emotions, and it's very dramatic.
Of course, all of the above are similar to "using excessive requirements to ask for fan clubs", and this "Renegade Samurai" of the dog barking club is also a major attempt by them, and there are many immaturity in many places, including voice actor casting, group drama script control and music production, but we can also see the sincerity of the dog barking club from the various elements they cram into this work.
Five hundred CGs, which were continuously updated for a year after they were released for sale in 2021, improved the system, added CGs, and were very poking at me, and the number of double-digit CGs drawn for the "pure clearance" route of this work was extremely high-quality. The sincerity that these players can really feel is the reason why this game has been a great success.
To sum up, this work "Renegade Samurai" is a very value-for-money HY, more than 500 CGs, hundreds of fully dubbed events all HD uncensored, into the game comes with full CG unlock can also allow you to directly enter the topic, in HY duty: good rush to the extreme, although because of the immaturity of the community, the gameplay of this game can only be regarded as upper-middle, but in view of its terrifying CG number and price, I can only say that buying is definitely worth the money, very recommended for those who are interested to try.
