The protagonist of the visual novel and the fifth and last member of the original Little Busters. The added bonus is the Kanata + Sasami + Saya routes, which add in more fun, laughs, and heartwarming moments.Voiced by: Tomoe Tamiyasu (game), Yui Horie (anime) (Japanese), Shannon Emerick (English) Little Busters is your typical “KEY” game, but unless you’ve actually read the story somewhere, you will not be able to predict any of its plotline. Despite the fact that all the story is known to the player, they may want to try their luck with other minigames, such as the baseball minigame, or Saya’s dungeon crawling game.Ĭonclusion: An extremely satisfying and pleasant game, with great sound effects, gameplay, and overall storyline. Komari plays an important role in some of the routes.Īddictiveness: High. It is actually very hard to even believe that this game was created in 2008, due to the high quality of various scenes and music. Key arguably makes the greatest music ones that pull out the reader’s emotions. Games nowadays lack various special effects that Little Busters contain, and this was the reason for being rated slightly higher in terms of CG. Yes, many can argue that the CG isn’t the best looking, but I’m talking about quality, not personal preference. The Loli of this game, Kudo! If you don’t know already, there’s a fandisk for Kudo called Kud-wafter.ĬG Quality: Moderately High. Some of these are explained in the spoilers below, but I suggest playing the game before reading the spoilers.Īffection for the Characters: EXTREMELY HIGH. Without seeing this, it is extremely hard to understand or feel any affection for the plotline. Masato, who is a character designed for comedy, has his own, extremely dark, route.Īt the end, the very last route: the Muscle Sensation Route, obliterated every “sad moments” in the game and left a satisfied emotion in my mind.Ĭomments: A very good game, it is imperative to realize that Little Busters is filled with symbolism an object that represents another story element.
In addition, you’ll find that characters are extremely dynamic. (The major example being Kanata and Haruka’s routes). Another thing I appreciate is that the routes are synchronized: the plotline in one route WILL match up with the different plot in another. Their theme of “life and death” is hidden until the very end, and all the events that happen before that only make the readers sympathize with the characters even more. Little Busters exceeded my expectations, despite the fact that I already have experience with Clannad and even Angel Beats. Rating Comments: You can disagree all you want or complain that the story isn’t that good. Rin, arguably the main heroine of this game! There are lots of choices to make, and especially in the climax of some of the scenes, if you make a mistake, you’re forced into a bad route. Story Length: Very Long (40+ hours, includes minigames)Ĭomplete Story Clearing Difficulty: Very HardĬomments: Long stories, where the reader is HIGHLY suggested to use a walkthrough, mainly because the routes are that complicated. Along with Rin, Masato, Kengo, and Kyousuke, the Little Busters will soon find that there will be more people who joins their group, and will enjoy their time left as high school students, with each other.
Even in high school, Riki wants the same experience he felt several years ago, when Kyousuke pulled him to the outside world. From when they were young, the Little Busters were the Ally of Justice who sought out evil. Summary: Kyousuke has returned, and Riki knows that something will begin again. Release Date: Ecstasy Variation released July 25, 2008
This is why I recommend the Perfect Edition (which was released quite recently) if you haven’t gotten a chance to grab the ecstasy variation. Despite this, the H-scenes themselves are not as explicit as other games, and play very little role in the actual story itself. The version that I review today is the Ecstasy version, which contains adult material (aka, H-scenes for all characters). Viewers who have already played the game will realize that the anime variation follows the common route exactly, and even dives into each of the routes, which is actually kinda hard to do in an anime. Foreword: A nostalgic post in quite a while! This game pushed itself in front of me when the anime variations came out.
