After all, even I managed to quite enjoy parts of it and I didn’t even like Da Capo. If you liked the original game, you can’t go wrong with playing this fandisc. Kotori was one of the better heroines, so she was a good choice for the fandisc. In any case, its a cool idea and I think its the best choice MangaGamer could have made for translating a Da Capo fandisc. It takes Kotori’s route out of every fandisc as well as her route from the main game and puts them all into one release. If you take a look at the relations from the vndb page you can see just how many different games link to the first Da Capo alone.īut anyway, Kotori Love Ex P is just a compilation of all of the content from a single character. Just like with my Sharin no Kuni review, I’m going to write about the Da Capo fandisc here as I don’t have enough to write about it for it to have its own post.Ĭircus really seems to like milking the Da Capo franchise as much as they can. MangaGamer didn’t translate the newer version :(.To many writers and the writing/pacing was noticeably sloppy at times.
Worst girl managed to be the main character’s canon partner for future games.The tension between the two main girls made it so that I liked neither of them.The plot didn’t quite manage to succeed in what it tried to do.Miharu and Kotori’s routes were alright I guess? (And Mako’s, but hers was really short.).Decent number of heroines, even without counting the extra ones from the release I didn’t play.
(I managed to find the second game slightly better however, and will write about it in a future review.) I do plan to read the extra routes in Japanese when I can be bothered for completions sake (I currently have in as on-hold on vndb and don’t want to set it as completed until I finish the newer routes), but as I didn’t like it much I don’t know when I will be able to find the motivation to do that.ĭa Capo managed to not be terrible, but none of the content managed to stand out to me so I would find it hard to recommend to anyone. I mean I don’t blame them as I don’t believe it was amazingly popular or anything, but it would have been nice considering that most of the new heroines look way more interesting than any of the current ones. What also didn’t help was that MangaGamer never translated the most recent version of the game, which includes 5 new routes iirc. I think Circus does this a lot because almost every game from them that I’ve looked at staff for seems to have way more writers than there needs to be. One of the reasons that I think kept Da Capo from succeeding for me was the large amount of writers.
And it really didn’t help my enjoyment that I couldn’t really take the two main characters seriously at all, especially with their routes having a the exact same dumb story except for being on different sides. I also thought that the game didn’t manage to allocate time to each heroine properly, a few of the less important heroines had much smaller routes than the main heroines. With the character routes, I thought that although a few of them could have been decent, they never quite managed to deliver the emotional impact they needed. I’m going to be completely honest here, I don’t think that Da Capo is very good. The protagonist is a third year, and he graduates around the time he enters one of the heroine routes.
Da capo 3 r mangagamer series#
As far as visual novels that I have heard of go, the Da Capo series is the only one that has done this. It might be interesting to note that Da Capo is set in a middle school. (I seem to do this a lot and should probably stop it soon.) Da Capo is another visual novel I started reading without knowing anything about it.
