Death end re;Quest on Steam is a unique blend of traditional turn-based RPG and visual novel elements, developed by Compile Heart and published by Idea Factory International. Here’s a comprehensive description:
Overview
Genre: Action, Adventure, RPG, Visual Novel
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory International
Release Date: May 16, 2019, on Steam.
Story and Setting
The game follows Arata Mizunashi, a video game programmer, who receives an email from his missing colleague, Shina Ninomiya. The two had been working on a virtual reality MMORPG called “World’s Odyssey” (W.O.D.) before Shina’s disappearance. Arata finds out that Shina is trapped within the game itself, which is now overrun with glitches and monstrous bugs.
The narrative alternates between two worlds:
Game World: Where Shina must fight through dungeons filled with glitched monsters in a classic RPG setting.
Real World: Arata navigates through real-life settings, gathering clues to help Shina escape from W.O.D., with gameplay resembling a visual novel.
Gameplay
Dual Gameplay Modes:
RPG Mode: Players control Shina and her party in a turn-based battle system within W.O.D. The combat allows for dynamic interactions where players can change the game’s genre during battle (e.g., from RPG to first-person shooter or fighting game), adding variety to combat scenarios.
Visual Novel Mode: Arata’s investigation in the real world is conducted through visual novel segments, where choices matter, and incorrect actions can lead to “Death Ends,” instant game overs where characters might meet gruesome fates.
Dungeon Exploration: Exploration involves activating character-specific skills to uncover hidden areas or solve puzzles, enhancing the exploration aspect of the game.
Multiple Endings: The story can branch into one of several endings based on decisions made, with a focus on achieving the ‘perfect ending’ which has a 1% success rate, emphasizing replayability.
Graphics and Atmosphere
The visual design combines anime-style characters with a mix of dark, horror elements when depicting the game’s glitches and corrupted environments. The contrast between the bright, anime world and the dark, bug-infested dungeons adds to the game’s unique atmosphere.
Content Warnings
The game features mature themes including violence, gore, and some suggestive content. It includes “bad endings” which can be graphically intense, involving elements like decapitation or detailed descriptions of character deaths. This content is not suitable for all ages, with characters depicted being 18 years or older.
Reception
Critic and User Reviews: The game has garnered mixed reviews. Some praise its innovative approach to blending RPG with visual novel mechanics, while others find the gameplay disjointed due to the stark contrast between the two styles. The story and character development have been noted for their depth, though the execution of gameplay mechanics sometimes falls short in blending the two genres seamlessly.
Death end re;Quest offers a narrative-heavy experience with a twist on traditional JRPG gameplay, appealing to fans of both visual novels and RPGs looking for something off the beaten path.
