"When one thinks of a visual novel they tend to think of games coming from a Japanese developer, or at last most recently English developers that have begun to put their own little twists on things. But few would think of a Chinese developed visual novel and that is just what Noctuary happens to be. Originally released on PC by Gratesca Studio back in 2023 with the help of Serenity Forge to bring this blend of visual novel with light action RPG elements the title has now made its way to consoles with a few extra improvements. The question is, with a completely different style from what many are used to, is Noctuary a game worth checking out?":
Noctuary is a heartfelt visual novel RPG with a dual protagonist set. Rife with magic, action and intrigue.
Gary Green: The visual novel genre has been integrated incredibly well into the many types of RPG variants out there, becoming something of the norm since the early PS3 era. This is thanks to the efforts of developers with a keen eye for narrative and interactions, such as Idea Factory/Compile Heart. With such a well-fused concept, it was inevitable that other studios would try their hand at adding a new twist to the formula, and not all of these studios are Japanese in origin.
Asura from NoobFeed writes: Noctuary is an excellent choice if you wish for a story-driven experience with just the right amount of interaction to keep it interesting. Not everyone will like this game. It could turn out to be a hidden gem for people who like stories that take their time, beautiful art, and stories that come from the heart.
