The New Classics #32: Yurukill – The Calumniation Games

 

The Backstory: A game with a gameplay just as weird and wacky as its name, produced by a bunch of virtually unknown developers — now that obviously had to pique my interest! 

 

 

The Game: A title that opens with a space shooter sequence cannot go wrong with me — especially if said sequence sports perfect physics and tight controls. Then came the VN segments, all cracking dialogues and sharp developments; add a bit of point-and-clicky action, and you get a multi-layered gameplay that can totally claim complete originality. 

 

 

The story promises a lot of mystery, as well as potential plot twists and mindfucks; but the jewel in Yurukill’s crown is most definitely the cast of characters. Their stylish introduction sequence alone is enough to make you wanna discover them more; and if they are all as twisted and zany as MC Sengoku, then I’m sure gonna have a blast cruising with them. 

 

 

With all that goodness, it kinda doesn’t matter that the graphics are barebones, and that the purple ornamentations around the dialogue boxes clash vigorously with the overall aesthetics and feel completely out of place. Those are details, and my eyes will soon forget about them!

 

 

The Verdict: From what I’ve understood, the game also supports some romancing, which is the cherry on the cake; but what I’ve seen already is more than enough to grant Yurukill a spot in my precious collection!
