A Fantastic Thought Provoking VN
After reading the description of this Visual Novel (VN), your first impression might be "This looks like Madoka Magica in space. With aliens instead of witches." It is reasonable to have that impression. On the surface, this VN does look like another story about Magical Girls fighting against an inhuman enemy force that threatens to drive humanity to extinction. That is only the surface of this VN however, it has a lot more underneath its layers. Basically, this is a story unlike many VNs you may be familiar with. You play from the PoV of a female protagonist named Minori Iizuka. This is Minori's story about how she becomes a magical girl and how she learns about and perserveres through the corruption of the Cathedral that's meant to be a home in the isolation of space in the war against the aliens. Overall: (9/10) This is a grim story. Dead End Aegis is comfortable using dark elements to tell a meaningful story that will stick with you and really make you think. There is a ton of rape and emotional abuse throughout the game, and it is there to make the player feel for the situation. It isn't just there for the sake of shock value, or satisfying fetishes a person may have. Underneath the rape, this game conveys a lot of compelling themes to think about. From the nature of capitalism, politics, what "being human" means, and how far humans are willing to go to survive. This game is a story first and eroge second. The eroge elements are used to supplement the story which is the main element The main characters have been fleshed out spectacularly. While I think some work could have been used on other characters not part of the main cast, I believe I understand what purpose the story was trying to achieve with the roles of these characters. If you are fine with such content, you will have an enjoyable time reading this story. It is one of the best Visual Novels I've read in recent time. I definitely do recommend this Visual Novel to you.
