#YOMAWARI NIGHT ALONE TROPES SERIES#
Whereas other modern series have successfully, or unsuccessfully, introduced new twists to mix up the genre, GOD WARS keeps things traditional. The GOD WARS The Completed Legend experience is that of a traditional SRPG. While Kaguya’s quest is by no means bad, the individuals are greater than the story they have to tell. The game’s plot zig zags enough to make a Zigzagoon feel right at home. While the characters all come off as endearing and memorable, the overarching story suffers in the long run. Unfortunately, the concept is better than the execution. This rare setting gives the game a breath of fresh air. Whilst most RPGs focus on idealized medieval times or science fictional space, GOD WARS The Completed Legend takes place in ancient Japan.
#YOMAWARI NIGHT ALONE TROPES FREE#
Free to live the life she chooses, she sets out for a quest to find her missing mother and learn of her unspoken intentions. After an improvised rescue mission led by her childhood friend, Kintaro, Kaguya is given a second chance at the life she relinquished. With her name on the top of the list for Fuji’s next sacrifice, she lives a life of solitude and prepares for her seemingly unavoidable demise. The majority of the game’s narrative follows the youngest of these remaining daughters, Kaguya. After what appears to be a successful sacrifice, Tsukiyomi disappears leaving only her two remaining daughters behind. Aiming to calm the rage of the gods, she offers her own daughter, Sakuya, as a sacrifice. The story begins with the heartbroken Queen of Fuji, Tsukiyomi. Rather, it is because the game’s characters, story, and setting are straight from Japanese legend. I don’t mean that the game is filled with fan service of the usual tropes.

The story of GOD WARS The Completed Legend is very much that of a Japanese game. Is GOD WARS The Completed Legend a legend worth remembering, or is it just a relic of a forgotten age? This port of last year’s GOD WARS: Future Past includes all the previous expansions as well as the brand new The Labyrinth of Yomi DLC. Continuing a summer of enhanced RPG ports, NIS America has now released GOD WARS The Completed Legend.

With publishers like Atlus, Koei Tecmo, and NIS America switching gears to the new Nintendo, it is only a matter of time before the Switch’s RPG library may rival even that of the DS family. Since it launched last year, the Nintendo Switch has begun replacing the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita as the home of handheld Role-Playing Games.
