The Divine Speaker - Extended Demo Impressions

Extended Demo Release: August 12, 2020

"Does fate not exist after all?"

"The Divine Speaker" is an upcoming fantasy BL game by indie dev Two and a Half Studios. The demo is SFW with some slight spiciness but the game will be 18+ at release and in multiple languages. (Maybe I can replay this in multiple languages to help with my foreign language learning. 🤣)

Follow alongside Raen - an orphan from the secluded city of Aurelia Cavella, the only civilization on the entire planet... or so they're told.

Abandoned for his poor Judgement, the "destiny" given to him by the Divine Speaker, he grew up thinking his life would be plain and unexciting, and that's exactly how he liked it.

However, that all changes when he's expelled from his home on a death sentence, cast out into the vast and dangerous forest that surround Aurelia Cavella.

Raen must finally come to terms with the fact that there might be something else out there after all - and there's more to Aurelia Cavella than first meets the eye.

Honestly it was a complete accident finding this game and I'm so glad I did! Lots of gushing below the cut because this was such a delight. 

London Detective Mysteria English Demo Review

A couple months ago, Xseed released a demo for their first otome game: London Detective Mysteria! (aka Eikoku Tantei Mysteria). I finally got around to playing the demo earlier this month. The demo only covers the prologue, but the game will be released onto both Vita and PC. The full game releases today on the 18th, but for now here's my impressions on the demo.

Bad Medicine ~ Infectious Teachers~ Demo Review & Thoughts

Well about a week or so ago, Rejet released a demo of Bad Medicine, which can be downloaded here. Below is a brief summary and my thoughts on Rejet's newest sadistic game. :3

Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright - EU Demo, Johnny Smiles, and the Return of Shu Takami

Well first off, I see that the EU website for PLvPW has slapped a demo onto their site. There's only one puzzle (hmph), but you should check it out. Basically you guess what the real shadow is. ^_^

Next up is Johnny Smiles. He's not a new character per se, but since the trailer video is on the demo page and Johnny is on there, why not lol. Let's hear some background info on him and my thoughts on his name pun. (The video on the demo page also has the European voices of Phoenix and Layton btw)

Bravely Default - Demo Review & Tips Part 1

THIS SHIT FINALLY CAME ONTO THE ESHOP ;ADKJF;LKJF Seriously, I've really wanted to play this game. And apparently in Japan it's known as "Bravely Default: Flying Fairy" but I guess we lose the subtitle cause Nintendo of America is cool like that. Technically, the NA/PAL release is "Bravely Default: For the Sequel" since it's the updated version that Japan got in December. But anyway.

                                 

Bravely Default is a RPG game created by Square Enix and is a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. The demo debuted January 2 and standard and limited editions will be up for purchase sometime in February. (And holy crap, this thing already has a sequel planned, called "Bravely Second". Then again, this has been out in Japan since 2012.)

If you wish to view the websites, English:

Japan: BDFF

Is it sad that everytime I win a battle I think of this theme instead? XD

Ooh, apparently in the Full Version, you can select languages between English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese since it'll be a worldwide release for other countries. Kinda like how Pokemon X/Y did it too :3

Also, there are Demo Bonuses that you can obtain to make your life easier in the full version. Talking to the guy on the right before exiting town can tell you which "packs" you've obtained:

AeternoBlade – Demo Review

Alright. So I’m floating around the eShop and I see that there’s a new demo out, called AeternoBlade. I have absolutely no clue what it’s about (alright, it's about avenging your village, changing your destiny and things of the like), but it kinda looked RPG-ish, and I’m an RPG freak (though the eShop labels it as “action”). I’m a demo whore so every time there’s a new demo that sparks my interest, I download it. …I’d say I have about 3/4s of the eShop’s demos XD


Overview
So immediately you get into the world where you play a some chick. Clearly these is some dreary desolate, and the background music like you’re in some wilderness helps emphasis that. You get a bit of handholding with the tutorials, such as “Use the circle pad or d-pad to move.” You also have an orb system that accounts for UP, MP, HP and whatnot.

Sonic Lost World - Demo Review

Alright. Time to see what Sega has thrown my way this time.

So. SLW is about Eggman plotting to rule the world (as per usual....) by conjuring up the power of the Deadly Six (oh noes!). However, they turn on Eggman and now Sonic must team up with the enemy, Eggman, to take em down in Lost Hex (lol, whut). New abilities of Sonic include his rainbow color powers. On the side, I guess you're also rescuing these little critter thingies that Eggman stole.

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure Demo Review

Are you a fan of rhythm games? Love tapping out some tunes with your stylus? Than perhaps Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure is a game for you to try. With a free demo on the Nintendo eShop, what's to lose? So. Sega bring to you Raphael (this red-head you see here in the tux), a Parisian thief who goes by the name of "Phantom R" (Phantom Rhythm maybe?) who is notorious for stealing valuable works of art (through his groovy moves!) and returning them days later (lol whut). Follow his adventures to unlock the mysteries of his past and discover the truth~
A red-head that becomes a Phantom and steals famous art works to find the truth? This is so DN Angel guys! 8D *ahem* I mean, what? (late 90s/early 00s anime anyone?)
Alright. So the demo provides you with three different...shall I say... stages: R01, R02 and R04. Despite the small number, it's still pretty enjoyable. Unlike most music games, your grade is determined not by your overall performance, but by how full your "health bar" is at the end. I like to try and beat my high score every time haha. If you're a casual or beginner gamer who just wants something cute and fun to immerse yourself in, then this game's great. And if you so wish, you can hold little competitions with family members or friends, seeing who's the best hehe.
